Fusing, Pressing and Finishing Equipment
You cost one shirt factory in Amman at the hot end of the building. A fusing press reads 165 on the dial while three lanes of the same belt reach 148, 141, and 133 degrees at the glue line. You compare a press cell against a tunnel line, with the crossover volume worked out on the page. And you read a finishing hall as a queue, where the bottleneck is not the machine everybody blames.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a machine list and say which styles it can and cannot make, specify the right machine for a seam, and build the investment case for the one machine that would change what you can sell.
Who it is for
Factory and supplier teams.
What you will produce
You audit a glue line for one press, measured in seconds above the resin's threshold rather than in dial settings. You cost one bond failure at two stations, the press and final inspection. You build a fixed-and-variable model of a press cell against a tunnel line, and name the crossover volume. And you build a station-rate model of a finishing hall, with its bottleneck, its rework loop, and its overtime priced.
