Analysis of lean manufacturing layout in a textile industry

The research is focused on the garment industry in Tamilnadu to assess the efficacy of the lean model. The garment export sector is the most significant and competitive contribution to the economy of Tamilnadu. Distributors became increasingly competitive, with fast delivery times, to satisfy consumer demand. Retailers tend to exhibit a small inventory and stock just in time to avoid the high taxes and increase interest rates. Dynamic facility structure design decreases processing time, improves the volume and productivity of the factory. There's no trend in today's world for more than a month. With the changeover of style, an efficient configuration is set up to minimize the lack of productivity by reducing the changeover period by cultivating multi-skilled workers and fast swapping of machines for the scale of the layout. The results of this study suggest that there are two factors that need to be tackled in order for the lean model to be successful. The factors are improved corporate efficiency and employee satisfaction. Organizational efficiency was calculated by using quality, speed, versatility, reliability and price. Employee satisfaction was assessed using protection and ergonomics, revenue generated, partnership and guidance earned from managers, colleagues and support staff, skills development opportunities and job advancement.
