Delay Analysis & Lead Time Reduction for Timely Order Completion in a Buying-house

The main target of the garment industry is to deliver a product within a given time by the consumer rather than a price reduction. To fulfil the target it is very much required to synchronise all the processes in the garment manufacturing unit. The process involves pre-production, production and post-production operations. In this research work, TNA and delay analysis is done to find out the causes turning towards delay. It is observed that the pre-production stages are dominating in terms of delaying the product to be delivered. Better control and synchronisation among the processes are found very much effective to minimise these delays
