How Many PPE Coveralls Can be Made by One Hot Air Seam Sealing Machine?

How Many PPE Coveralls Can be Made by One Hot Air Seam Sealing Machine?

Body Coverall



The essential operations in a body coveralls making is heat sealing operations of all seam lines.  Whoever is making or planning to manufacture PPE body coveralls for medical use has all other sewing machines in enough numbers. The bottleneck is a hot air seam sealing one. So a factory's daily body coveralls production depends on hot air seam sealing machines. Here, I have shared the productivity (production capacity) of the hot air seam sealing machine. 


 To answer this question, I will refer 3 sources

 - In a webinar, Dr. K.S. Sundararaman said that PPE coverall manufacturers can make 12-13 body coveralls per hour.  That means you can make 96-100 coveralls in an eight-hour shift. For more information listen to the webinar audio record here.


 - Another source has mentioned that a seam sealing machine can produce 10 body coveralls per hour and 80 coveralls in an eight-hour shift. 

 

 - Referring to the standard time of all coverall heat sealing operations, it is 5.4 minutes. Considering operation Efficiency @80% (SAM 6.75 minutes), you can make around 9 coveralls per hour. That means 72-75 coveralls per day.

Concept of IE     The garment manufacturing and exporting industry is facing heavy challenges due to various factors including global competition, production costs increase, less productivity/efficiency, labor attrition, etc. the basic fact that our country has immense strength in human resources itself is the motivating aspect to feel for such an analysis. For overcoming those challenges our need industrial engineering knowledge. Industrial engineers (IEs) are responsible for designing integrated systems of people, machines, material, energy, and information. Industrial engineers figure out how to do things better. They engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. They work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources. This is why more and more companies are hiring industrial engineers and then promoting them into management positions. . We can see at a glance of IE,  Industrial Engineering (IE) = Production ↑ Cost ↓ Proper use of

What is Man to Machine Ratio in the Garment Industry? The man to machine ratio is an important KPI in the manufacturing sector. The same is applied in apparel manufacturing. In this post, I will explain the term man to machine ratio, its importance and method of calculating man to machine ratio. What is the man to machine ratio? Man to machine ratio is defined as the total workforce in a factory to the total number of operational sewing machines. Man to machine ratio widely varies depending on the on the organization structure. If a factory has only production related departments (cutting, sewing, maintenance, quality and IE) then this ratio will be low. On the other hand, if a factory includes the department of design & development, sampling to finishing to shipment and documentation then this ratio will be high.   How to calculate Man to machine ratio? To measure Man Machine Ratio (MMR) of a factory - First, find how many employees are there (include all manpower). Second, Count
