Machine Capacity Calculation in Garments Industry:

For calculating machine (hr) capacity in garments industry, we have needed the following information:

1. Sewing line in that factory,
2. Machines in each sewing line,
3. Working hours per day.

Now, by using the below formula, we can easily calculate the machine (hr) capacity in apparel industry.

Machine capacity,

= No. of sewing line in that factory × No. of machines in each sewing line × Working hours per day

Example:

Suppose, Lanny Fashions Ltd. has 10 sewing lines where each sewing line has 20 machines and working hours per day for the factory is 8, then calculate the machine capacity for that factory.

Solution:

Here,

No. of sewing line in that factory= 10
No. of machines in each sewing line= 20
Working hours per day= 8

So,

Machine capacity,

= No. of sewing line in that factory × No. of machines in each sewing line × Working hours per day= 10 × 20 × 8
= 1600hrs.

So, Machine (hr) capacity for the above garments factory is 1600 hrs.
