·          Basics of creating a production pattern
·          Fit analysis – balancing and truing, identifying fit and pattern problems
·          Taking the design and converting it to a garment (demonstration only)
·          Create a pattern and transfer it to CAD (Computerized Assisted Design) system
·          Understand the process of using CAD system for design, its applications 

DATES:  22 June to 03 July 09  (full day)                      
              1^st Module : Theory and Manual from 30^th March to 3^rd April

2007 年10月–制衣业生产力中心（GIPC）培训生调查显示就业的成功

由制衣业生产力中心（GIPC）培训 给柬埔寨制衣工人有关时间和作业研究告诉 来自柬埔寨经济学院的研究员该培训帮助他们专业成长。所调查的127位培训生中，超过90%感觉到他们所学习的技能有助于他们更有效率的工作，满意度更 高。

更加重要的是, 超过60% 的培训生在工作中由于他们所获得的技能而被加薪或晋升。

The returns of the USAID Garment Industry Productivity Center approach to productivity improvement keep coming in, with client factories producing improvements as high as 100%! 

Not every factory will double its production, but most factories can gain 15-20% within months by improving production controls and line balancing, using time study as a basic tool. 

In this straightforward, low investment approach to higher efficiency participants will learn: 

to measure process time in the industrial environment,

to use time measurement to improve flow through the factory, and

to use time measurement in setting incentive compensation.

COURSE:       Time and Work Study

Higher profits, better quality, and on-time delivery all depend on productivity. But how can you boost productivity if you don’t know how well your factory is performing right now and how that performance can be improved?

The USAID-supported GIPC can help. Over a 6-8 hour period we will assess the manufacturing efficiency of your garment factory. Our report will cover the efficiency of each department in the factory, pinpoint obstacles to productivity, and offer strategies and practical ideas for improvement.
