Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Ledger Management in Industrial Stores


Welcome to my website Industrial Engineering, your trusted source for industrial engineering practices and efficient store management techniques. In this post, we discuss the essential SOP for ledger maintenance, a critical aspect of inventory control in manufacturing and industrial settings.

Purpose of the Ledger SOP:

The main objective of implementing a ledger management Standard Operating Procedure is to:

  • Ensure accurate tracking of all store items, including style items, daily moving stock, common supplies, and stationery.

  • Maintain up-to-date records through regular updates, whether manually or digitally, for effective inventory control.

Scope of Ledger Management:

This SOP covers the systematic recording of all items leaving or returning to the store. It aims to streamline inventory processes, reduce discrepancies, and facilitate easy audits.

Responsible Personnel:

  • Stores Manager / In-Charge: Responsible for overseeing ledger maintenance.

  • Store Keepers: Accountable for recording transactions manually or maintaining digital records, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.

Ledger Maintenance Procedure:

  1. Segregated Ledgers: Maintain separate ledgers for:

    • Style Items

    • Daily Moving Items

    • Common Items

    • Stationery Supplies

  2. Recording Transactions: All Goods Receipt Notes (GRN), Goods Issue Notes (GIN), and returns must be accurately entered into the relevant ledger, reflecting current balances.

  3. Update Frequency: Ensure daily updates to keep records current and reliable.

  4. Format: Ledgers can be maintained either manually on paper or digitally, based on available resources and organizational preferences.

Benefits of Proper Ledger Management:

  • Consolidated Record-Keeping: All store items and balances are stored in one centralized location, simplifying tracking and reporting.

  • Enhanced Inventory Control: Accurate records reduce stock discrepancies, prevent overstocking or shortages, and facilitate audit readiness.

Materials & Data Sources:

  • Information/Data from: Stores department and relevant inventory records.

Operation Bulletin of Jogger Cargo Pant

Today We will learn to prepare the Operation Bulletin of Jogger Cargo Pant in my industrial engineering tutorial series. You can refer to this operation breakdown or bulletin to learn about various operations involved, SMV and machine requirements in making Jogger Cargo Pant. 

A Jogger Cargo Pant is not an easy style to produce in the sewing line. It has lots of complex processes. Two back welt pockets with flaps, two side cargo pockets with flaps. In the bottom of the jogger pant has elastic. Here I describe the operation breakdown of the Jogger Cargo Pant with SMV and Machine names. 

Operation Bulletin of Jogger Cargo Pant is done by the following table. In this operation bulletin process list, estimated time, machine name, hourly production target quantity at 100% and 65% efficiency are shown. The estimated time (SMV) shown in the below table will vary according to the product method followed and machine and equipment used in actual production. So please be careful while you use the above estimated time against each operation.

Productivity improvement factors in garment industries

What is Productivity?

Productivity is the relationship between output and input. The output in garment factories can be pieces of garments. In other words the more output from operators per day.

Productivity can be calculated as:       

Productivity  =   Output / Input 

Work Station


To improve the productivity every department should work properly 

1. Merchandising Department.

2. Sample Department.

3. CAD Department.

4. Store Department.

5. Planning Department

6. IE Department

7. Production Department

8. Quality Department

9. Mechanical Department.

10. Electrical Department.

11. HR/Admin Department.


High productivity brings high margins to a business. Increasing the level of productivity reduces the cost of manufacturing garments. The productivity of the machines as well as the productivity of the labor increases when more pieces are made by the resources available in a factory

Here I have considered few factors to increase the Productivity:


1. Improve the planning of work.

2. Conduct the pre-production meeting effectively.

3. Improve the proper supply chain.

4. Effective communication.

5. Efficient stuff and worker selection.

6. Investing in better technology.

7. Install better equipment.

8. Reducing the Continuous feeding on sewing line.

9. Prepared the best possible line layout.

10. Use proper pressure foot and folders, attachments, guides, needle.

11. Use of Auto Trimmer Sewing Machine (UBT).

12. Selection of the right RPM of Machine.

13. Right Operator Selection for the process.

14. Reduce line setting time as a single digit.

15. Conduct Capacity study and improve the faulty method.

16. Reducing the bottle neck process.

17. Improve line balance.

18. Control the line wip.

19. Reduce the DHU%.

20. Hourly production monitoring

21. Feed error cutting line.

22. Improve morale.

23. Training for Line Supervisors.

24. Training for Quality Supervisors.

25. Training for Maintenance.

26. Training for Sewing Operators.

27. Training for quality inspectors.

28. Training for Store Officers.

29. Stuff and Operator Motivation:

30. Set the Individual operator target.

31. Eliminate non productive time and off-standard time.

32. Real Time Data Tracking System.

33. Inline quality inspection at regular intervals.

34. Improving attendance level.

35. Reducing labor turnover.

36. Incentive plans for employees.

37. Measuring performance for all departments.

38. Rewarding for success.


What is Operator's Performance Rating?


100% performance concept is an important component of time study and performance measurement. General performance is the rate of output that qualified workers will achieve on workday shifts without extra effort if they know and adhere to a particular method. These performance values ​​are marked as 100% on the rating and performance scale.


A slow performance rate, which will produce fewer pieces per hour, is recorded as a percentage below 100%. A fast performance rate that produces more pieces per hour is recorded as more than 100%. 100% performance or general operator features Has fluent speed without hesitation No false start or duplication Consistent, integrated, effective rhythm No unnecessary action or motion or work.
