Carol Rodley, the US ambassador to Cambodia, indicated that, due to worldwide economic problems, the US will no longer reduce import tariff on garments manufactured in the Cambodia.

The Garment Industry Productivity Center (GIPC), a program component of USAID funded Cambodia MSME Project implemented by the DAI-Nathan Group (DNG) has developed a pattern making training course to upgrade the skills of those currently employed in Computerized Assisted Design (CAD) or in factories investing in CAD systems, or to introduce new workforce entrants or interested parties to pattern making. 

Course content: 

·          Introduction to flat patternmaking principles – dart manipulation, added fullness and contouring
·          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

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.
