“…Numerous researchers worldwide have endeavored to ameliorate production efficiency by focusing on topics such as lean manufacturing (Vasanth et al 2020), productivity enhancement (Mahbub et al 2021;Al Imran et al 2021), line balancing (Yemane et al 2020), process balancing (Karekatti and Tiwari 2021), and the feasibility of simulation techniques (Sime et al 2019) for manufacturing companies. Consequently, the optimization of production systems has become a primary concern.…”

The apparel manufacturing industry in Bangladesh experiences dynamic inefficiencies in its production system, which are interconnected with various unforeseen events. These inefficiencies hurt productivity, increase costs, and lead to increased rates of defects. This article conducts a comparative analysis between two predominant production systems, namely the progressive bundle system (PBS) and the unit production system (UPS). The study involved an examination of critical aspects such as material handling, floor space utilization, standard minute value (SMV), output, productivity per operator, product quality, efficiency, manpower allocation, and work-in-progress. The overall performance and suitability of these systems are evaluated through a quantitative analysis of primary data. To carry out this study, we have collected data from the operation breakdown of men's hoodie jackets, which is a critical product in the apparel industry. The results have indicated that the unit production system outperforms the progressive bundle system. We also demonstrate that the results may vary from one factory to another, as well as from style to style. Indeed, the results can depend on the skills and expertise of the workforce.

“…Moreover, the clothing industry is facing additional difficulties as a result of the unique characteristics of its market, including a short production life cycle, high volatility, low predictability, and a rapid market response. The complexities and interdependence exist in the textile industry further increase these constraints [12]. Therefore, it is necessary to research, record, and identify every constraint faced by the processing units.…”

The textile industry is one of India's oldest industries and has been there for a long time. Cotton has a major economic influence in India, where it is mostly used in the textile sector. One of the most often produced and exported items from India is cotton yarn. The goal of the current study is to examine and record the challenges faced by the cotton processing units along the value chain of the crop. The study was conducted in Adilabad and Nalgonda districts of Telangana state. The required data was gathered from a sample size of 10 ginning mills, 10 spinning mills, 10 weaving mills, one dyeing and printing mill and one garment manufacturing unit, using well-structured and pretested schedule by personal interview method. To analyze the collected data Garrett ranking methodology was employed. The research found that, higher cost of machinery, higher rate of interest, exorbitant prices of raw material, underutilization of installed capacity, higher working capital requirement, shortage of electricity, lack of technical human resource, competition from the big and organized sector and lack of marketing cooperatives were the major problem faced by the different processing units of cotton. Therefore, the study suggests that the government provide subsidies for the purchase of machinery, at least for small-scale businesses, impart training to the youth and establishment of marketing cooperative at every successive stage of the cotton processing in order to make the processing units more competitive in business.
