A garment manufacturing unit in Gurgaon, Manesar industrial zone, India is chosen for the study. A style with relatively longer duration is chosen and is tracked from fabric store to the finishing and packing sections.

Process flows within the specified departments are mapped to be able to determine the production time, Lean Wastes and share of Value Adding and Non-value adding (Necessary and unnecessary) activities. Identified wastes are analyzed through Pareto and 5 Whys’ analysis and improvement opportunities are proposed so as to reduce the production time and Wastes and increase the share of Value adding activities. Implementation of selected proposals is also done and findings are shown.
