    A bottleneck refers to the component or step in a production process that has the lowest capacity and limits the overall production rate. In a garment production line, the bottleneck is the step where production falls below capacity, causing supplies to back up. Bottlenecks can occur before inputs due to issues like late or incorrect supplies, or within the line due to problems like improper work allocation, machine breakdowns, or absenteeism. Bottlenecks are identified by tools like counter machines, serial numbers, and cycle checks. They can be reduced by steps such as pre-production planning, layout preparation, quality checks, and performance improvement.

    Bottleneck

    A bottleneck is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited


    by a single or limited number of components or resources. The upper narrow portion of a bottle
    is called neck (opening side) and it is an obstruction to go to the way from large portion of a
    bottle through narrow portion of a neck. It is a metaphorical scene of obstruction of production
    sector. A garments sector is a production sector and the bottleneck used here as obstruction of
    normal production. In a brief the bottleneck means lost production and lost profit i.e. the lowest
    capacity of production.

    Bottleneck in the production line

    The lowest output point in the production line is called bottleneck. That is bottleneck area, where
    supply gathered and production goes under capacity.

    Arise Of Bottleneck

    There are so many reasons to arise a bottleneck in the production line and it is described bellow.

    A) Bottleneck before input in line.

    1)      If issue is not supplied in time from M.C.D and sub-store.


    2)      If issue comes delay.
    3)      Issues serial number mistake.
    4)      Bundling mistake.
    5)      Wrong issue supply.
    6)      Pattern problem. Etc
     

    B) Bottleneck in line.

    1. Worker selection wrong.


    2. Wrong works flow / sequence of works.
    3. Non balance allocation of elements.
    4. Works negligence by workers.
    5. Workers absenteeism.
    6. Machine disturbances / out of order.
    7. Lack of supply
    8. Non serial supplies forward from workers.
    9. Color shading
    10. Quality problem
    11. If anybody becomes sick.

    Character of Bottleneck.

    1)      By checking counter machine: – After specific period (time to time) by checking counter
    machine it is easy to find out the bottleneck which counter is shown poor / lowest production.
    2)      By observing serial number of supplied issue: – After checking some operators if it is
    found that someone is sewing / working lowest serial number of issue and it not reasonable
    difference with others it is defined bottleneck.
    3)      By observing gathered supply: – Those areas are bottleneck areas where pile of supply is
    observed.
    4)      By performing cycle check: – By performing cycle check we can realize bottleneck from
    different of time. We can realize bottleneck at a glance by making graph and it is a best and
    scientific way to find out the real bottleneck.

    Way of reducing bottleneck:

    1. To make size set sample minimum 15 to 10 days before input.


    2. To arrange pre- production meeting in time.
    3. To prepare layout sheet before input in the line.
    4. To check fabrics and accessories before issuing in the line.
    5. To submit the layout sheet to maintenance section minimum 2-3 days before for better
    preparation.
    6. To check pattern before supply in the line.
    7. To reduce excess works from workers.
    8. To select right workers for right works.
    9. To keep supply available in time.
    10. To maintain serial number.
    11. Reject garments should not forward.
    12. Supply should be forwarded after checking.
    13. To alert when bundling (maintain serial number)
    14. By improving method.
    15. By improving workers performance.
    16. By reducing sewing burst
