Effective Steps To Make Line Loading Plan for Production Of Apparel Garments LLP as in other sectors is also very important for apparel industry to gain various advantages. A plan that helps to the planner of production called LLP (line loading plan). In “Line loading plan” planner decides on which date a style to be loaded and how many lines to be considered for the style to meet the production completion date. Line loading plan is an important task for a production planner. Planner needs to do backward and forward planning based on lead time. In this article I will explain how to make line loading plan and what things are important during making a loading plan. Explanation is given step by step in the following with examples. There is lot of mathematical calculation. So, I will suggest you to use spread sheet for making the plan.
Step 1: Make a list of current orders with details such as order number, order quantity, style description, and production completion date. Refer to the Table-1. Suppose order has been received on the month March and production completion date on May from 4th to 21st.
Order No. 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108
Garment Description Dress Blouse Trouser Long sleeve Tee Skirt Dress Long sleeve Tee Skirt Total
Order Quantity (pieces) 2000 3000 5000 3000 3000 1500 10000 1200 28,000
Production completion date 10th May 12th May 15th May 17th May 21st May 21st May 10th May 04th May
Table-1: Order List
Step 2: Suppose a factory has 5 production lines. Calculate available capacity of the line using capacity calculation formula considering absenteeism (10%) and line efficiency %. You should have knowledge about line wise production efficiency to calculate actual capacity of a line. Or calculate it prior to line loading plan.
Available capacity in hours = … {(No. of operators/machines x working days in a month x daily work hours x 60) – absenteeism %} x Efficiency %
Line wise available capacity has been shown in the Table-2. It is considered that each line is equipped with 25-32 machines (operators), factory’s normal shift time is 8 hours (480 minutes) and line efficiency is in the range of 39% to 55%. Line No. of Minutes/Day Line No. Operator (Daily Efficiency working Hrs. X 60) Line 30 480 40% 1 Line 28 480 50% 2 Line 32 480 55% 3 Line 32 480 45% 4 Line 25 480 39% 5

Step 3: Next, calculate required capacity for each order (style) in minutes and in days. Assume that above 8 styles (as in table 1) to be run in 5 lines and styles will be loaded only in single line. Consider that all lines blank and you have no issue with starting date. In this stage you have to also decide which line to be chosen for the styles. Allocate order to the line according to product category and line set up (machines laid). In Table-3 line number has been mentioned against the order number. Use the following formulas for the calculation. Capacity required in minutes = Order Quantity X Style SMV Capacity required in days = Capacity required in minutes / Capacity available per day. Refer to the table-3 for calculated minutes and days required for each style. Order Loaded Order Style Capacity Capacity Capacity No. to Line Quantity SMV Required available Required No. (Minutes) per day (Days) 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108

11 12 13 5 13 8 16 5
Table-3: Required capacity Calculation
Step 4: Now do backward calculation to find the date for style loading. Days needed to complete production on due date, Sundays and holidays must be excluded in day count. And add one to two days initially for line setting according to style requirement. If required, you can add buffer for one to two days. To make it easy in calculating the loading dates considering above points use spreadsheet based planning board. For example refer to the following image-1. I have made loading plan on the planning board for theses styles. Light blue colored columns represent Sunday (weekly off days in
Pakistan). Finally make another table (Table -4) representing loading data against orders. Planning board is as follows:
Table-4: Order loading date Order No.

Comments
In concluding the whole process the above text is much help full for the people who are facing the problems: Design a whole plan for production. Increase the production. Check the production level (in hours and days). For all above circumstances this plan may be help full for all. Every company needs to earn the profit in all time but earning profit is not possible without proper planning and further more “everyone can earn the profit but some can reduce the cost”.
