Inside a Garment Factory: the Rooms, the Minute and the Decision
You walk one cargo-short order through six rooms of a real factory. You see the documents that travel with it, and why the factory's currency is the minute rather than the piece. And you see the day a supervisor made an entirely sensible decision that cost the factory sixty-seven garments a day.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can walk a factory from cutting table to packed carton and account for where every minute went. You can balance a line against a target, and say which of your rooms is the constraint on a given order.
Who it is for
Factory and supplier teams.
What you will produce
You map your own factory as six rooms, with the unit each one counts in and the document that crosses each join. You reconcile one line's output board against what the next room actually received. You build a where-the-minutes-went sheet from attendance to earned minutes, with the break-even efficiency your own price implies. And you write a one-page decision-rights sheet for your floor.
