Efficiency Improvement in a Garment Industry of Myanmar through Kaizen Implementation

Efficiency of a garment manufacturing factory is a very important factor in a competitive market environment. Moreover, quality improvement of the garment industry is essential to increasing productivity and efficiency. The efficiency of the Myanmar garment factory is much lower than the competitors in neighboring nations. The combination of a cost effective labor force and a strict adherence to product quality are two important factors which make Myanmar an attractive place to source garments and apparel products. The quality and efficiency reducing problems were found in a garment factory according to the observations. The main aim of this research is to identify the causes that happens the sewing defects and continuous improvements are made through kaizen implementation. This research was made based on a garment factory in Myanmar ”œKamcaine Manufacturing Company Limited”. The root causes of the defect are found and then these defect problems are solved. Then Kaizen is applied for continuous improvement to reduce the defects. After implementing kaizen tools, the efficiency is increased from 29.07 to 40.82 .
