This study tries to measure the Standard Minute Value (SMV) of five pockets denim trouser (ladies). Traditional production system of garment manufacturing causes lower productivity, poor line balancing, longer production time, more lead-time ultimately increases the cost of Garment and profit margin becoming lower. This paper will provide an inclusive idea for making a five pockets denim trouser where a best optimization of line balancing, machine requirements, man power allocation, operational sequence of the manufacturing process as well as setting a feasible target for achieving higher efficiency. The data and information of this experiment may directly help to planning department, sewing production department as well as Industrial Engineering department in a RMG Industry for minimizing the product cost and achieving the higher profit margin.

Keywords: SMV, Five Pockets Denim Trouser, Line Balancing, Efficiency, Operation Bulleting.
