Industrial Engineering: Industrial Engineering is a branch of engineering which studies the design and operation of production and service systems and the people who operate in these systems. Industrial engineering helps to improve quality and productivity.

Industrial Engineering = Production ↑ Cost ↓ Proper use of all elements ↑ Efficiency ↑ Profit ↑ 

SMV: Standard minute value is the standard time, to complete any given task by using best possible methods at standard level of performance.


TPT (Throughput time): Throughput time is the time taken by particular volume of work to complete.


Work study: Work study is the systematic examination of the methods of carrying on activities so as to improve the effective use of resources and to set up standards of performance for the activities being carried out.

Work Measurement: Work measurement is the application of techniques designed to establish the time for a qualified worker to carry out a task at a defined rate of working.


Work Sampling: Work sampling is a method of finding the percentage occurrence of a certain activity by statistical sampling and random observations.

Qualified Worker: A qualified worker is one who has acquired the skill, knowledge and other attributes to carry out the work in hand to satisfactory standards of quantity, quality and safety.


Time study: To determine the time is should take for a qualified worker to perform a specific task using a specified method by directly observing on operator.




Method study: Method study is the systematic recording & critical examination of ways of 

doing thing in order to make improvements.



Observed Time: Time recorded by observing on operator while he she is doing a task.

Loss time: Loss time is the ineffective or useless time that spends on any activity which is not a specified part of a job.


Performance: This is a figure which we calculate after reducing the lost time out of the total available time.


WIP: WIP is the number of garments under production at a given time.


Time measurement: Time measurement is the application of techniques designed to establish the time for a qualified worker to carry out a task at a defined level of performance.


Rating: Rating is the assessment of the workers rate of working relative to the observer’s concept of the rate corresponding to standard rate.


Target: Target is the amount of production which should be produced by an operator or a line that a management desires.


Bottleneck: Which are holding up production operations or a lengthy operation that consumes a great deal of time.


Plan layout: Plan layout is the special arrangement & configuration of departments, work stations, & equipment used in the conversion process.


Different types of allowances: Relaxation allowance M/C delay allowance Contingency allowance


Operation breakdown: In the clothing industry operation breakdown is the separation of the making operations so that garments can be made up quickly & cheaply using available labor & machinery.



Production line balancing: Production line balancing is the allocation of the work to be done to the people available to do it production line balancing is used.



Basic Pitch time: In industrial Engineering, Pitch time is a ratio of total SAM of garment and number of operations to be set for the style. 

Predetermined Time: A predetermined time standard is a work measurement technique whereby times established for basic human motions (classified according to the nature of the motion and the conditions under which it is made) are used to build up the time for a job at a defined level of performance.
