Özet
Productivity and costs become critical due to the increase in pressure of competition on the companies in apparel sector-which is an important sector for our country. Production time and costs are very important for enterprises. In order to improve profitability and competitive edge, optimization of methods are being studied. In this study, it was targeted to investigate and optimize labelling process in the production processes of apparel sector. Positioning of labels on patterns will be explained in accordance with an appropriate process flow via considering all types of clothing patterns. Turkey’s apparel sector has maintained its competitiveness via short distance advantage to markets such as Europe and Russia, against cheaper products in the world market. Fast fashion, orders in small quantities and short product life cycles, caused a requirement to meet customer’s needs in shorter time. It is more difficult for producers to shorten production time, due to presence of glitches such as delays in supply of raw materials. Therefore ready-made enterprises must work efficiently. For this aim, it is required to evaluate performance of the task in order to determine optimum time and method needed. Apparel industry needs high number of employee, so in order to increase productivity, studies for optimization in terms of time, labour, cost, quality, increasing automation and for reducing dependency to employee continues.
