Final Technical Report for Modular Work Teams at Maryland Clothing

Abstract

The PPFG T1-P1, Phase II, short tem project conducted by Charles Gilbert Associates, Inc. at The New Maryland Clothing Company continued the process of changing the manufacture of Army Dress Uniform Coats from conventional line concepts to Modular Manufacturing Work Teams. Phase II of the project installed teams at the start of the manufacturing process to Baste Under collar, which completed all operations through Final Inspection. Five teams were covered in Phase II. The primary objectives of the project were to continue to show that Modular Team concepts can be successfully implemented in tailored clothing manufacturing, that the elapsed time to make a tailored garment can be greatly reduced, and that the monetary benefits outweigh the costs.
