PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY OF DOUBLE SHIFTING IN GARMENTS INDUSTRY OF BANGLADESH (Pages : 54 - 62)

Bangladesh’s garment industry has been at the heart of the country’s export boom ever since the first factory opened in 1976. The industry has grown dramatically over the past 35 years, and today accounts for 78.97% of Bangladesh’s total exports. There are now 4,825 garment factories in Bangladesh employing over three million people. Though day by day, garments orders are increasing but production are not increasing simultaneously. To cope up with this increasing order, it is required to increase production. If it can be applied double shift in the garments industry, not only it is possible to increase production but also it reduces production cost and less production cost ensures profit maximization. Again, double shift is a means of reducing overtime as well as working stress for a long time that has correlation with quality products, low production cost & buyer satisfaction. That’s why double shifting is so important for our RMG sector to compete with world RMG market. By this study, the Garments productivity increases, overhead cost reduces significantly and therefore ensuring the feasibility of double shift.Download
