Production line process improvement with process reengineering - a case study in garment factory

Abstract

The production process concerns in ABC manufacturing are failing to meet daily production targets and having low productivities. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a method of employing process redesign heuristics to improve an existing production line process using an evaluation approach and fit-gap analysis. A simulation tool is used to model the production process redesign. After adopting the provided approach and conducting the simulation, the company's production productivity and service level increases by about 45 percent. To get the required simulation results, critical measurements such as manufacturing capacity and lead time are used. This research demonstrates the redesign production process that must be followed in order to overcome the critical issues.
