Operation breakdown of Hoodie Jacket (Puffer)

A Puffer Hoodie Jacket is not an easy style to produce in the sewing line. It has lots of complex processes. It has Two welt Pockets. Here I describe the operation breakdown of Puffer Hoodie Jacket with SMV and Machine name.

In my industrial engineering tutorial series, I am sharing an Operation breakdown of Hoodie Jacket (Puffer). You can refer to this operation breakdown to learn about various operations involved, SMV and machine requirements in making Operation breakdown of Hoodie Jacket (Puffer). 

Operation breakdown of Hoodie Jacket (Puffer) is done by the following table. In this operation breakdown process list, estimated time, machine name, hourly production target quantity at 100% and 60% 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.

Full form of Machine Name:

In the above table a short name of sewing machines is written. Followings are the abbreviation of those short machine codes.

SNLS - Single needle lock stitch

3T O/L - 3 Thread over lock

Manual - Helper

How to set the target per hour in the Sewing line of the Garment Factory?

It will be best to set the line layout target based on line efficiency, line cost and delivery date of style.

Formula to set the 100% target:

Daily Target = (Worker x Working hour x 60/ SMV) x efficiency %

Basic Pitch Time (BPT) =Total SMV / Total Manpower.

We can use “Ball Point" needle to stitch this item.

Fabric Types and Needle Size Chart:

Fabric Types	Needle Size
Very fine fabrics (silk, chiffon, organza, voile, lace)	8, 9, 10
Light weight fabrics (cotton, heavier silks, synthetics, spandex, lycra)	11, 12
Medium weight fabrics (velvet, fine corduroy, linen, muslin, tricot, knits, fleece)	14

Operation Breakdown makes our work easy to set up a production line in the apparel industry. We can easily manage machine and operator requirements for any sewing line by this. But it is necessary to do an operation breakdown to prepare a machine layout and line balancing by industrial engineering (IE). Hopefully this post will help the IE to know the jacket all process name.

I have create some process video which can help sewing lovers, IE, Garments/Apparel manufacturer. Please follow and watch Lining and Shell part join at bottom hem. Visit for video.
