Abstract

The garments industries which are traditionally operated are facing lots of problems such as low productivity, poor line balancing, high rejection, high defects, unable to achieve lead time. So defects minimization is the first condition of reducing cost and increasing productivity. The work aims to minimize the defect percentage by using DMAIC approach of Six Sigma methodology. The study is carried out in Ananta Apparels Ltd. by using DMAIC methodology of six sigma to minimize the defect rate in sewing section. Five phases of the DMAIC methodology named Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control which indicates some critical defects such as stain, skip stitch, broken stitch, and slip out in the sewing section of Ananta Apparels Ltd. We applied various types of six sigma tools in different phases. The outcome of this study is very significant to implement in the sewing section of the apparel industry.
