Product Development Producing accurate construction details and SMV during sampling stage
GSD Codes GSD is a scientific manufacturing methods analysis process which, through the application of codes with Predetermined Times Standards, accurately & consistently establishes “Standard Time” for the apparel and sewn products industries Operations GSD codes are used to analyze and improve working methods, and offers speed, accuracy and consistency. A one minute operation might take approximately ten minutes to analyze, GSD offers far greater objectivity and accuracy Features Operations can be grouped into “Features” such as a) pocket, b) collar, or c) cuff, which, as well as reducing the analysis time for new garments, makes it possible for non-technical personnel to create a construction method and a SMV from a sketch or technical specification. Introduction to GSD
Currently Bogart is analyzing manufacturing operations using GSD to produce a SMV mainly for wage calculations. Current Situation
Currently we are not fully utilizing the GSD software or the industrial engineering efficiently, this does not mean the team is not working but we are duplicating work by analyzing similar operations time and time again. • How to improve? • Using feature function with in the GSD this will save time on analyzing styles. • Introduction of quest would allow not technical people to produce construction details and accurate SMV. • Allowing more time to look at manufacturing layouts and handling methods. Forward Thinking
The feature data base is basically a data base of the same parts using different construction methods or materials. Sample 3 Sample 4 Sample 2 Sample 1 Looking at the above example there are 4 shirt collars. Each collar has its own construction method, each construction method has its own SMV. The methods would be saved as a feature in the GSD data bases, by selecting one of the drawing it will provide you with a detailed construction information and SMV. As more features and operations are added to the growing database, analysis of new products becomes quicker and quicker as existing features are modified and re-used. Features Data Base
To Implement Quest Correctly we first need to build different parts of the garment in features. Looking at a basic Brief shape • This basic brief has many different options for construction. • First is how many panels? • Method of Joining panels if required? • Trimming or finishing on legs and waist. • Joining if required, sides front or back. Quest Implementation
Example • If this basic brief was constructed from two panels with a floating gusset liner, side seams and basic elastic attached by coverseam machine. It and similar garments could be made by selecting four features • Feature 1 • Back gusset operation • Overlock edge floating gusset • Any tacking if required, this can be added by modifying options. • Feature 2 • Attach elastic to both legs using cover stitch machine. • Feature 3 • Attach elastic to waist using cover stitch machine • Feature 4 • Join first side seam • Join second side seam • Any finishing and bartacks if required , this could also be modified by options for different customers. Basic Example
Example • If we changed the basic brief to be constructed from three panels, side seams and basic elastic attached by coverseam machine. Only changing the first feature it would change the construction method and SMV. All of this can be done by selecting a different drawing. • Feature 1 • Join front & back gusset operation • Any tacking if required, this can be added by modifying options. • Feature 2 • Attach elastic to both legs using cover stitch machine. • Feature 3 • Attach elastic to waist using cover stitch machine • Feature 4 • Join first side seam • Join second side seam • Any finishing and bartacks if required , this could also be modified by options for different customers. Changing One Feature
If all of these different versions had the same finish, looking at row A we would only have to change Feature 1 Row A Looking at row B we would have to change Feature 1 and Feature 4 Row B Looking at different versions
The next step is to make a list of components which will be used to build the features data base, this data base will also require detail drawing to make it easy to pick the features. Next step
First we set up a ‘Task Team’ This team will be responsible for the building of the features data base and the implementation of Quest. This project will be a short term project first aimed at Oysho and VS, • Team leader • Time frame • Resources required • Quest training and implementation timing Task Team
Confirmation of team members and time frame with clear objectives for every one involved Lets Make it Happen
