Development of Work Study Standards, of Work

This document provides information on General Sewing Data (GSD), a technique for methods analysis and setting time standards in sewn products industries. GSD uses MTM core data across 36 items in 7 categories with simple retrieval codes. It has advantages like being methods sensitive, consistent, accurate, and transferable between locations. GSD includes categories for both handling and machining operations. The document also demonstrates how to derive sewing codes and calculate full sewing time using GSD. An example operation of shoulder top stitching is provided with the breakdown and GSD codes.

CALCULATING OPERATION TIME USING


GENERAL SEWING DATA

What is GSD?

GSD is a technique for Methods Analysis and the setting of Time Standards
for the Sewn Products Industries.
GSD was developed using MTM Core Data, to provide a consistent,
accurate and easy to understand, easy to communicate, methods analysis
and time standards determination technique.

It was designed specifically for the Sewn Products Industries, and was
researched and developed within these industries.

GSD is transferable between locations and it recognizes that variable work


places, production flow systems and batch sizes affect output.

The final system consists of 36 items of data in 7 categories with simple


retrieval codes for ease of application.

Each item of data has a constant TMU value.

Advantages of GSD

There are many advantages to be gained from


the GSD approach and its design:

Methods sensitive
Your Own specifications
Consistent
Accurate
Transferable between locations
Traceability
Predictive
Easy to communicate
Easy to Understand
Designed specifically for the sewn products industries

GSD Categories
GSD provides categories for both handling and machining.
The first seven in the list being handling and the eighth being
sewing.
The handling can be classified either as 1st Level categories or
2nd Level categories.

FIRST LEVEL CATEGORIES


1. Obtaining and Matching Parts M
2. Aligning and Adjusting Parts A
3. Forming Shapes F
4. Trimming and Tool Use T
5. Asiding Parts A
6. Handling MachineM
SECOND LEVEL CATEGORIES (Get and Put actions)
7. Get and Put G or P
SEWING
8. Sewing

Deriving Sewing Codes

1.
2.
3.

There are four fields to each sewing codeEvery code begins with S to indicate sewing.
Second field indicates the no. of cms stitched in one burst.
Third field indicates degree of guiding and tensioning which has different levels-

Degree of
guiding &
tensioning

Seam Description

Third Field
Code

NIL

A straight burst on a single ply

LOW

A straight, non-visible seam

MEDIUM

A straight visible seam or curved non-visible seam

HIGH

A curved visible seam or seam worked in a confined


space

Deriving Sewing Codes


4. The fourth field of the sewing code is a letter
to indicate the stopping accuracy requiredCode

Tolerance

Description

>1 CM

Stop along a seam or run off the


fabric

<1 CM

Stop to form a non-visible backtack

<1/2 CM

Stop to change direction


(Needle Point) or form a visible
backtack

How to calculate Full Sewing Time?

Sewing Time(T) in TMUs = (MST*HSF*GT*CM)+17+P

Minimum Sewing Time = Stitches per Cm/rpm*0.0006

High Speed Factor = (4.5-MST)square/100 + 1

CM= Length of sewing burst in cms

17= 17 TMUs (constant) for start and stop machine(2*F


motions)

P = Precision of stop TMU additions
