The aim of this study is to show different A-grade sewing operator’s productivity and efficiency for different sewing machine for same and different assigned operations. Here the performance of sewing operators of garments industry were analyzed by observed data which is based on to complete the assigned operations to different operators in different sewing machines where operators are of A grade and there were same product manufacturing process in different sewing line. This study revealed that the efficiency and productivity of all A-grade sewing operators are not same or equal because of the variation formed by them in terms of productive and non productive time where data of all operators of a factory are not considered for analysis as well as data collected from three garments factory are considered. It is also provided a framework to eliminate the greater variations of A-grade sewing operator’s performance to get more productive time.

Keywords: Sewing Operator’s Performance, Productive time, Non Productive Time, Productivity, Efficiency
