This project, submitted by Lasitha Nawarathna to RMIT University in December 2012, investigates productivity improvement through process enhancements within the garment industry, specifically focusing on the context of Sri Lanka. The project, undertaken for a Bachelor of Applied Science in Textile Technology, explores the challenges and opportunities presented by global competition, including the importance of reducing lead times and improving overall efficiency. The study analyzes the existing processes in garment manufacturing, identifies areas for improvement, and proposes strategies to streamline operations, reduce unnecessary steps, and ultimately increase productivity. The research includes a literature review, problem statement, objectives, methodology, and limitations, with the aim of establishing effective processes for style changes, enhancing productivity, and improving profitability within the garment industry. The project utilizes data from two garment factories and employs both quantitative methods to analyze the relationship between manufacturing processes and productivity, offering valuable insights into the practical application of process improvements.
