Basic Knowledge Of Single Piece Flow In Garment Production

1. What is a single piece of water?

Single piece flow is also called unit synchronous flow. Single piece flow is a comprehensive, effective utilization of personnel, equipment and logistics, organized, planned, and targeted progress. Each unit balances production.

In production activities, batch production is done in batches, and there is no stagnation between the processes before and after. Each process completes one process, and a production mode is called a flow production mode.

Two, the characteristics of single piece water flow:

1, target management: target capacity, by industrial engineering personnel to each unit of the product (process) to achieve target capacity.

2, time management: time quantification, and industrial engineering personnel set the target operation time for each unit (process) of the product.

3, fast production, rapid response to quality problems, zero batch quality accidents;

4, push back pull type: it is different from the traditional production mode. The traditional production mode and production line are passive, and can only wait for the material, cutting, embroidery and printing of the front department to decide the normal operation of production, while the single piece production is active, the former process must meet the production line, and everything is determined for production.

Push forward is not just push forward on water, it includes order, material supply and product reprocessing.

Pull back is to meet customer needs, pull the whole production and supply chain pull.

Three, why do we need to carry out single piece flow?

1, shorten the production cycle, because the one-piece flow is the synchronous operation of all production personnel, which reduces the waste of human resources to the greatest extent, and the production efficiency greatly shortens the production cycle.

2, reduce WIP inventory: as the production mode of the single piece flow is a backward pull production mode, the number of the last process required and the amount of production before the process will be produced. Therefore, in the manufacturing process, each process is operated synchronously at one time, namely, a finished product shop.

3, save the production space: because the single piece flow is the process of quickly producing the finished product, there is no need to stock any material in the production process, which greatly saves the production space.

4, reduce the number of defective products: the production mode of single piece flow is one batch, the whole one.

Synchronous operation can produce a finished product at a time, so it can detect problems in time and minimize the probability of occurrence of defective products.

5, improve productivity: the essence of single piece flow is unit synchronization, and each post is a unit.

Habitual synchronization and coordination, which cultivate the spirit of teamwork, highly united and highly concentrated efforts, greatly improve productivity.

Four. Antenatal preparation:

1, the traditional mode of production, warehouses are only used for temporary turnover of goods, or for stacking stocks, and single items.

The production mode, the warehouse is no longer the above two functions, the single piece water flow is particularly emphasized, and the preparation for the production is to be done well enough to do enough, so the function of the warehouse is changed. In the Taiwanese or Japanese enterprises, the warehouse is not called the warehouse, but is called the material preparation class, or the preparation department. The so-called material preparation is to fully prepare the materials. (for example, the water washing mark, the towel and the ribbon are first cut by the preparation department according to the requirements of the production order, so that the production can not be avoided because of the shortage of temporary filling materials, or the time is not enough, resulting in the stop production or the reduction of the finished products, thus causing customers' claims).

2, the material supply information and incoming materials in the business department must be open and timely.

Requirements for production planning are higher and closer.

3, the requirements for equipment and auxiliary tools are higher. It is necessary to cooperate with industrial engineering personnel to carry out effective equipment pformation.

4, staff skills must be trained in a timely and effective manner according to different types of work.

5, the requirements and standards of production office are higher. The traditional production offices generally do not consider the convenience and practical operation of large goods. The concept of industrial engineering requires that the pformation of process structure must start with production office, and effective technological structure improvement will help improve production efficiency.

Note: prerequisite for single piece flow:

First, the entire material must be complete.

Two.

Do not embroider semi finished products.

Three, we need to use automatic thread cutting to reverse the quality of the equipment.
