Work Study, SMV and Capacity
You take one shirt order and one stopwatch. You break an operation into elements and rate it. You rebuild allowances from two real workplaces instead of copying them off a report. You take a factory's capacity apart into the five different banks of minutes it might have come from. And you end with what an SMV can never tell you.

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 build a defensible SMV for one style. You run an element study with break points that hold. You take a cycle count from the variation. You rate each element and leave machine work alone. You build two workplaces' allowances part by part, measure a contingency, and write a capacity statement that names its bank of minutes and its SMV.
