Monitoring of the Time and Action Calendar of a T-shirt Manufacturing

This study was calculated to investigate the time and action (TNA) plan of a T-shirt manufacturing. A time and action calendar determine the final date/time in which the main activities of an order should be against a scheduled distribution window. To ensure timely supply within a specific delivery date of buyers in the knit garments industry, Time and Action Calendar or TNA, a popular tool that is used for tracking and following up in preproduction processes. The acquaintance about the TNA plan will also help to organize the production timeefficient manner that is better production on lead time from buyers. Creating a TNA The calendar doesn't just flow the name and duration of the activity; It’s also about technically The duration of the activity works, understandably determining the foregoing and subsequent activities. TNA is the table of activities of specific order and Process flow Sort by the table of tasks that require to be finished. The two key important dates are the cut-off date (PCD) and the ex-factory date as per the TNA plan. TNA largely turned on the order, the prerequisites of the machine, and the specific approach flow of available yield capacity. TNA plan is measured by the time frame which is related to buyers lead time to export a particular order. The TNA obtained by taking it the requisition of 8101 pieces of a basic t-shirt, made out of 95% cotton and 5% elastane 160 GSM single jersey fabrics. The order is for SS 2019 and the buyer is GAP, delivery date October 8, 2019, and shipment at New York, USA.


INTRODUCTION:
TNA is a popular approach used in the garment manufacturing factory is a strategy to follow and follow important milestones of the preproduction process to confirm timely supply within the scheduled delivery date. Garment Pre-Manufacturing and Merchandising activities. Although some works are depending on each other, others are distinct. Every RMG company occur great care during order planning. Every small detail is built into the planning method. Creating a TNA schedule is not just about entering the name and duration of activities in tabular shapes; it scientifically determines the schedule of the work, logically evaluating the previous and successful activities. TNA schedules have short-term and long-term plans so be careful (Uddin et al., 2020). research department endows with the productive process of cutting. It also decreases the waste of nonproductive activities in the cutting section that can be avoided which can reduce lead time as well as period and space. Therefore, the cutting method in the factory is one of the key values (Jacobs-Blecha, 1993). The cutting zone of the garment manufacturing industry provides the necessary cutting panels in the sewing section for production modules. The cutting panel has several functions in the cutting section like fabric spreading, cutting, numbering and bundling. (Karim et al., 2019;Upendra et al., 2013).
While there are various prices involved in reducing costs by internally wasting costs by a factory, avoiding and upgrading defective work will result in minimal archiving (McClellan et al., 2001;Mohibullah, 2016). The RMG factory has three main sectors namely cutting, sewing, and finishing (Islam et al., 2013).
A TNA schedule is one of the key valuable communication tools that prove that it is effective for this task. The chart made of the time frames (main ones) listed for each work in the plan and these functions require to be carried out in a timely manner. The aim of the TNA is to check at regular intervals, once a week to see if the plan is being implemented adequately. The more smooth the reviews, the sampler it is to accurate the deviation. TNA is commonly effective when a buyer needs to know the current status of an order execution. Usually TNA does not base on the textile used in the product, such as woven or knitted. TNA largely based on the specific approach flow of any order, the requirements of the machine, and the available making capacity. The TNA designed Cutting schedule and the former factory date are two very important dates. Most garment companies open thin manufacturing to upgrade their steps. Progress in timely delivery progress is a field of work that they focus on under the guise of inferiority (Kuma, 2017;Paneru, 2011).
The TNA schedule is one of the key important approaches for managing time. In the field of garment making, each requisition is no less than a new project for the merchant as it involves different functions and use of different resources in different time periods from the time the order is received to the time it is comp-leted. Like process numbers, lots of the people are also attached in completing an order. Commonly each order approach and time is same in terms of demand. Thus, a completed plan with properly defined responsibilities is definitely needed to fulfill each order on time. A TNA schedule called the ideal date/period in which the main works of an order should be in contrast to a scheduled distribution window.
This plan sheet is popular as TNA and once a TNA time is created, it can be simple for merchandisers to "make a list" of each day and take it step by step. It can be carrying out on a timely basis to area whether an requisition is on zone as per the TNA schedule or it will be delayed.

Example-Proto Samples, Fit Samples, AD/Photo and Shoot/deliveryman garment, Size-Set Sample, GPT Sample, Pilot Run, Pre-Production Meeting and Sample, Production Sample Top.

Textile and Accessories
Sourcing -Textile and accessories sourcing is a very labor intensive step which includes desk weaving and lab-dip approval, accessories and art work approval, FPT consent. Example -Fabric Approval, Trimming and Artwork, and Textile Performance Test.

Production -
The most valuable part of any TNA is the actual production. Many of the time, TNA is pursued with PCD in mind. The sourcing division plays an important role in achieving timely PCD, as the lead period for accessories and textile production and existing for sample made are regulated by this section. Desire lead time and adequate buffer should be kept for sourcing when making TNA.

Production initiate and end dates -
These two dates depend purely on shipment schedule and production capacity. Manufacturing should start as early as the PCD is acquired and the pilot runs and PP samples are approved. Any deviation from this time affects the subsequent top garment submission time and shipment schedule. The period of days needed for production is planned by the capacity assigned to that desired product or the schedule of days available for real shipment date.

CONCLUSION:
In this study, TNA Plan of knit garments industry was studied. TNA is the most valuable work for timely delivery. If a merchandiser is able to obey the TNA actually, sending the garment as per the schedule will not be a big challenge.
