What is Learning Curve:-
In the Garment Manufacturing industry, a learning curve is formed for the stitching operators' performance learning curve.
A learning curve of an operator is that the performance growth of getting experience (time per unit) during a task. the training curve are often drawn time per unit against cumulative repetitions or efficiency at work against cumulative repetitions.
When a replacement style is loaded to a line, sewing operators (machinists) take time to succeed in their maximum speed (or normal speed). a stitching operator takes higher time to stitch a garment when she starts performing on a replacement style. After doing an equivalent task for several times, the time taken to stitch the garment or an operation is reduced. it's going to flow from to new operation (job), a special machine with different settings and guide or a special kind material got to handle.
Individual operators learning curve is generally prepared at the operator training stage. But you'll even prepare learning curve for every and each sewing operator working within the assembly line . I even have seen some factories prepare all operators learning curve.
Normally a learning curve is ready for the assembly line. this is often easier to develop Line wise learning curve once you do not have individual employee efficiency data. See the training curve of a typical production and typical garment style.
In case you've got short and end of the day orders, develop different learning curves for various order volumes. the rationale , for short-run orders, you'll not reach to line's pick efficiency level within the time production is over.
How to Use of Learning Curve:
Following are few reasons, a learning curve is formed by industrial engineers.
Industrial engineers use learning curve data to calculate daily production target within the initial production days of the new style.
In production planning and target setting, the training curve is employed to plan day wise production target.
A learning curve is additionally wont to derive time interval of an order.
For the motivation calculation within the learning period, the training curve is employed . If you've got incentive program and you would like to offer incentive to your workers supported their efficiency level, learning curve helps to style target efficiency (eligibility level to earn incentive) for the initial days.
In the next post, i will be able to share the way to develop a learning curve for your assembly line . Keep reading and keep sharing the knowledge.
