How To Effectively Improve Garment Production Efficiency?

Compared with more than ten years ago, garment processing orders are getting smaller, profits are getting lower, and workers are becoming more difficult to recruit. However, what worries garment factory bosses most is the increasing production costs, especially the high labor costs.

1. Rely on automatic equipment 

In the past, the automation level of machines was low. One or two machines need to be equipped with a worker. Now many sewing equipment has developed to automation. One worker can take care of several machines at the same time. At present, large-scale garment processing plants in China generally use automatic equipment such as automatic cutting machines, automatic pattern machines, Automatic Pocket Welting machines, automatic sergers, automatic suspending lines, etc., and are rapidly moving towards full automation.

The application of automation equipment has eased the "labor shortage". One production line can save 1/3 of the manpower, which not only solves the difficult problem of labor but also improves the quality of clothes due to the adoption of unified sizes and standards. therefore, automation equipment has become a powerful means for enterprises to reduce costs, and improve product quality and competitiveness.

2. Rely on the pattern 

The "template" here does not refer to a pattern machine, but a template appliance used in the field of clothing and used in every category.

What can a template do? The template can simplify and standardize the process, but the efficiency is not necessarily high. It can solve 2 problems. One is to allow people with low education and low skills to do complex processes. The other is to realize garment making by hand. Workers who have just taken up their posts can quickly get started through templates. After a set of processes of the assembly line, they can make a complete set of clothes.

3. In order to improve production efficiency, we should learn to use tools, fixture accessories, etc. to turn ordinary sewing machines into special sewing machines 

.For example, before the appearance of the differential feeding device, the lower feeding device often caused staggered layers, wrinkling, and unevenness when sewing fabrics. The modified differential feeding device has solved these problems. Such devices, which are used in large quantities, have many types and are easy to affect the sewing quality, such as presser foot, puller, and other accessories, can be studied and used, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.
