| dc.description.abstract | Productivity improvement is a very important issue for manufacturing industries to survive in the global competition. A nation’s effort on productivity-improving is mandatory and its achievement of productivity is one of the major weapons to attain cost, time, and quality advantages for competition. Ethiopian garment industries are not competitive in the global market share. The primary reason is low productivity. This study tries to investigate both internal & external productivity factors of the garment industry and proposed genuine solutions using integrated techniques of lean & work-study. So, this paper aims to provide the users are understanding easily the main productivity factors of the garment industry and present the way how to develop a solution using these integrated techniques. The main objective of the research is to enhancing productivity using integrated techniques of lean & work-study for the Ethiopian garment industry, specifically in the case company. To accomplish this objective a literature review has been conducted to get a realistic understanding. The existing productivity status, improvement practices, experience, and productivity factors of the garment industry have been assessed using open interviews and secondary data from the sector. To make this study practical and realistic, a case study has been conducted on the Bahir-dar textile share company in, garment. And the data was collected using interviews, direct observation, recording, measuring, questionnaires, and secondary data. The existing result indicates that the productivity of the Ethiopian garment industry and the case garments is much lower than the government plan and their production targets as well as compared with other best practice garment industries. Due to this, the garment industry has been faced multidimensional productivity factors related to human, method, control, process, and product. To enhancing the overall productivity improvement of the garment industry that has been using the combined techniques & tools of lean and work-study, due to, the nature of garment industry productivity factors are multidimensional as a result a single tool or model hasn’t boosted a significant change. Consequently, to solve the garment industry productivity factors that should be used an integrated techniques & tools for enhancing a significant productivity improvement of the case company and these integrated techniques has been answered the research question. | en_US |
