Evaluating the Automat Usage for Bottom Hemming Operation in Terms of Process Time and Quality

Abstract

Apparel industry, which has a major impact on the world trade, has been struggling with a competitive environment with challenging conditions like the other labor-intensive sectors all over the world. Following the latest technological developments and efforts of keeping up with these activities would affect the operational efficiency in a positive manner. Therefore, being able to adapt these developments to the companies becomes of great importance in today's business world. This study investigates the operation of bottom hemming of casual trousers. Despite the fact that bottom hemming is not defined as a difficult process, it requires manual skills. The difficulty of controlling the cylindrical part of the bottom under the machine head (presser foot), especially for the narrow-bottomed trousers, may cause prolonged sewing process times and also some undesirable quality problems. In this study, bottom hemming operation is performed by using both classical method and recently developed bottom hemming automat, to highlight the comparison between the manual hemming of denim trousers and usage of automation for this process in terms of duration and quality. Thus, the advantageous method is defined, from the point of productivity (process time) and quality. In this study, it’s observed that 33.34% time saving and eliminations of quality problems by using automat for bottom hemming operation.
