Özet
<p>As it is known, the ultimate goal of clothing industries is to produce and deliver products at the</p><p>desired quality level by the customers. While this situation is being realized, the sustainability</p><p>of the companies needs to use the resources at the optimum level. The human factor is at the</p><p>top of the companies' resources, and it is aimed that the operators will actively participate in</p><p>the production processes. Within the scope of the "line balancing" method, which is one of the</p><p>traditional production management techniques, the number of employees, working time, and</p><p>standard time of each process are taken into consideration. However, it is obvious that a new</p><p>kind of process management system should be developed and different variables should be put</p><p>into effect in the clothing environment whose dynamics change rapidly, has a lot of product</p><p>variety, and each step is dependent on people. Within the scope of this study, it is aimed to</p><p>create an "operator competence analysis" consisting of various sub-criteria for the clothing</p><p>industry. In this way, it is thought that a production that is more compatible with customer</p><p>requests (quality, deadline, etc.) will be achieved by improving the operators and determining</p><p>the appropriate operator in a very short period of time.</p><p>It is aimed to develop an objective analysis and evaluation system in this study. The suitability</p><p>of the sewing operators, who are the main actors of productivity in sewing enterprises, has been</p><p>handled multidimensionally as an alternative to existing methods. In today's conditions, where</p><p>production quantities depending on the model are decreasing rapidly, a 15% reduction in model</p><p>setup times has been achieved at the TYH 1zmir branch, where this operator competence system</p><p>developed for production lines that need to be much more agile and flexible. With this study,</p><p>it is thought that a Competency Analysis System (CAS) that is much more suitable for the</p><p>realities of the ready-made clothing industry, which is one of the sectors where labor-intensive</p><p>production is most intense, has been gained.</p>
