Abstract
Apparel business applies different techniques to keep pace with the incremental competition conditions and changing consumer demands. The new design needs new analysis; new manufacturing technique which will take much more time. There is no practice of scientific analysis to manufacturing a new design garment. Critical path method is one of the most effective techniques which is a systematic approach to identifying and reducing manufacturing time through the earliest start time and the earliest finish time and also provides a scientific method for product manufacturing and whole production management. This study was carried out at a men’s T- shirt producer i.e., a ready wear company. The current state of the production lines was analyzed within the scope of the study. Then t-shirt production lines were organized with the CPM techniques. The main strategy of CPM was estimated actual operation time by decreasing traditional manufacturing time. As a result, using of the CPM in garment manufacturing less the lead time of production time as well as the whole manufacturing system gets a new approach and also manufacturer are able to produce the product within minimum possible time and the apparel manufacturer will be able to fabricate contemporary fashion production project.
