What is Operation Breakdown | How to do Operation Breakdown for a garment product

Introduction: A garment product has many parts and element. When we go to make a garment, it needs to join every part one after another by stitching and Operation Breakdown means writing down the whole part, all process/operation as per the process sequence with the entire garment. It is required to record along with each process the appreciated SMV and machine type. 

Every garment has some common operation as well as some different operation. So it is necessary to find out the operation breakdown for every single garment as per its design and style.

Operation Breakdown of a garment

Why we make operation breakdown for a garment?

When we get a design of the garment, we don't know how many parts are in the garment. if we don't know the total no. of parts or operation to complete the garment, it is difficult for us to make the garment. It also takes more time to compare the usual time for making the garment. We aren't able to prepare machine layout and worker required for the garment production until we make a proper operation breakdown for the garment.

How to do operation breakdown for a new style garment:

Operation Breakdown has a systematic process sequence. We need to follow this process flowchart when we go for making a garment operation breakdown;

Receive the design or sketch sheet from the merchandiser

↓

Arrange a meeting by APM, Technician Chief & Work-Study officer 

↓

Find out different part and other elements from the design

↓

Find out the different stitch type for every part

↓

Listed different machine type for stitching

↓

Now start listing the sequence of different operation or parts joining

↓

Finally, ensure the best operation breakdown for sewing 

Benefits of making an operation breakdown: There have some special benefits for making an operation breakdown;

• We can view at a moment all clothing operations.
• We can anticipate the problems of performing a critical procedure.
• We can make design easy, straightforward and time-efficient.
• We can be used to calculate SMV for objective setting and equal time layout to the operator.
• The correct operator for the correct method is easy to pick.
• We can understand machine amount and kinds to make clothing necessary.
• In a very short time, we can quickly reach the manufacturing goal.
• We can be aware of the quality of the buyer standard Can be aware of the supplementary manual, folder & attachment.

In an operation breakdown, we listed different part and element of garment, stitch, and machine type, and worker needed for the garment production. By making operation breakdown, we ensure which parts are sewing one after another. Operation Breakdown reduces our unnecessary work and time. It also helps us to increase production.
