Abstract

Abstract– The primary challenge faced by the textile company Textile Industry R10 E.I.R.L. is low productivity in its sewing operations, a factor that compromises its competitiveness in the market. This issue is associated with inefficient time management and work methods, highlighting the need for industrial engineering tools to enhance process efficiency. This study aimed to reduce task durations through the implementation of time study and questioning techniques, with the objective of increasing daily production output. A quantitative methodology was employed, comparing observed time data from pre-test and post-test phases and assessing tasks within the sewing operations. The results demonstrated a 22% reduction in standard time, a 7% decrease in tasks within the garment manufacturing process, and, consequently, a 21% improvement in daily production. This methodology could be successfully replicated in other textile companies facing similar operational challenges
