Project CharterCommunication

Objective: To improve the Curing performance and features to make process more reliable with conformance and durability through better service, aesthetics and to ensure its sustainability.

D M A I C

Performance:The performance of Curing can be improved by adopting the following steps:

1- Production Target on daily basis.2- Cost reduction can be achieved by enhancing output, on-time preventive maintenance, control fabric mixing and wastage control.3- The best quality can be achieved when we have no stoppages, follow 5S theory and motivation of workers .4-Follow the sequence of program of ready to cure fabric according to FIFO method.5- Should maintain record keeping.

DEFINE PHASE

1-Travel cards are not properly attached with batchers and trolleys.

Challenges faced in curing are listed below:

2- Mix fabric

3-Provide unidentified fabric to Finishing & washing.4-Mis-management in handling of batchers and trolleys.5-House keeping issue.

6-Registers are not properly maintained.7-Overlapping of curing fabric on RFP fabric.

8- Different Width

MEASURE

- Do not have receiving procedure of fabric from Previous department-Do not have production target on daily basis.-Workers are not properly trained.-Same number on two different batchers.
