Standard Minute Value in Garments 


 Standard Minute Value 

SMV, or "Standard Minute Value," is a term commonly used in the apparel industry. It's a statistic used in industrial engineering to calculate how long it takes to finish a certain operation or activity in the clothing production process. SMV supports the estimation of the overall production time, the establishment of production goals, and the assessment of operational effectiveness. Manufacturers may more effectively plan and manage their production lines, streamline workflow, and raise overall productivity by segmenting the manufacturing process into smaller jobs and giving each one a set amount of time. For clothing manufacturers to effectively meet production deadlines, cut costs, and streamline operations, this statistic is essential.


What does it mean by garments SMV 42? How will you calculate SMV through time study?


Answer: Garments SMV 42 indicates that a standard worker should need 42 minutes to finish sewing that specific clothing.

In Step One, decide the operation you wish to compute SAM for. In step two, take one stopwatch. Place yourself next to the operator. Capture the cycle time for the operation. Perform time studies for five cycles in a row. If any cycle contains an irregular time, discard it. Determine the average of the five cycles. Then, this cycle time must be multiplied by the operator performance rating to be converted to primary time.

[Basic Time = Cycle Time X performance Rating %]

After that, SMV is calculated by Standard allowed minutes (SAM) = (Basic time + Allowances).

Name of the Experiment: Determination of yarn twist through electric twist tester (Direct Counting Method). Introduction: Twist: Twist is the spiral arrangement of the fibers around the axis of the yarn. The twist binds the fibers together and also contributes to the strength of the yarn. The amount of twist inserted in a yarn defines the appearance and the strength of the yarn. The number of twists is referred to as turns per inch. Types of twist: 1. S - Twist 2. Z – Twist Twist Measurement in Yarn: The most obvious way to measure the number of twists per unit length of yarn is simply to untwist a known length of the yarn and check visually to see whether the twist has been completely removed. Method of twist Measurements: 1. Straightened fiber technique or the direct count method. 2. Twist contraction technique or the untwist and re-twist method. 3. Twist to break technique. 4. Microscopic Objectives: 1. To know how to determine the yarn twist. 2. To know about electric t

       Difference between rotor spinning and ring spinning frame Rotor Spinning frame Ring Spinning frame 1.Rotor spinning frame is modern spinning system machine 1.Ring spinning frame is conventional spinning system machine 2.The working speed of rotor spinning frame is faster than ring spinning frame. 2.The working speed of ring spinning frame is lower than rotor spinning frame. 3.Usually rotor spinning frame produced lower count yarn. 3.This machine can produce from low count yarn to high count yarn. 4.Basically the raw material of this machine is low quality. Means low grade cotton 4.Relatively this machine used high grade cotton to produce yarn. 5.Only one drafting system is available on this machine so there are no break draft in this machine 5.Darting system is split in two divisions called main draft and break draft. 6.Tw

Name of the Experiment: Determination of yarn count through Electric Wrap reel & Balance Method. Introduction: Yarn count: The yarn count is a numerical expression which defines its fineness or coarseness. It also expresses weather the yarn is thick or thin. A definition is given by the textile institute – “Count is a number which indicates the mass per unit length or the length per unit mass of yarn. A definition of yarn count is given by textile institute “Count a number indicating the mass per unit length or the length per unit mass of yarn”. Several systems and unit are used for expressing the yarn number. Depending on the material used for preparing the yarn. 1. Indirect system 2. Direct system 3. Universal system Indirect system: In this system the count is the number of units of length per unit of weight of yarn. In this case higher the count, finer is the yarn. This system is generally used for cotton, woolen, worsted linnet. Let N = the yarn Count or Number
