“…This study also included detailed analysis of motion, based on dividing the work and operation at the level of basic movements. This first MTM-1 system was established for assembly processes in the metal industry in 1948 [19]. The basic MTM-1 system gives a detailed description of working methods that include hand sub-operations divided into the level of basic motions required for their execution.…”

“…The MTM-1 system has nine basic motions of the fingers, hands and arms; two motions of the eyes; and ten motions of the feet, legs and body, with about 400 normal times for performing basic motions. The MTM-1 system is a time system consisting of tabular representations of the normal times of individual basic motions, depending on the variables of their execution, such as motion length, execution accuracy, execution dynamics, degree of motion control and the ability to execute coordinated motions, taking into account the coordination of motions and the degree of training in the execution of combined and simultaneous motions [19][20][21][22].…”

The paper presents the application of MTM, RAV and ZAK methods in the determination of working methods and time norms for the technological process of sewing. The technological operation of sewing the back sleeve seam on a men’s jacket is used for the study. The paper presents the designed workplace in a real production process. In addition, the appropriate working method and the time norm are determined using the MTM (Method Time Measurement), RAV (determination of sewing time for straight seams) and ZAK (determination of sewing time for curved seams) methods. The aim of the study was to combine the methods for determining different types of time (manual, machine-hand and machine) for performing technological operations and precisely calculate the time norms. For the described methods of determining the production time, computer programs were developed that speed up the calculation of the time norm. If the working method is defined in advance and the characteristics of the sewing machine are known, the time norm for each technological operation can be determined in advance. Based on these calculations, it is possible to determine the total time for the production of clothing in advance and thus to plan and schedule the production process and plan the delivery dates to customers. The results show that the technical equipment of the sewing machine and the working method have an influence on the structure of the technological sewing process. By choosing an appropriate working method, the workload and fatigue of the workers is reduced, as an appropriate number of auxiliary hand sub-operations are used. In this way, the appropriate time required to perform the technological operation is achieved.

“…In the technological processes of sewing clothes, work is carried out in production lines that contain a large number of workplaces where individual technological operations are performed [3,4]. The sewing process is classi ed as piece production and, depending on the organization, as a closed form of workplace with set execution.…”

Successful business and production in the clothing sector are based on JIT (Just in Time), QR (Quick Response), and TTM (Time to Market) strategies, in which the production process is organized as part of a team using the time-accuracy-quality model, with the main goal of reducing time (faster), increasing quality (better), and lowering costs (more valuable). The work in the technological process of sewing is determined by the kind and character of the workpiece, the type of sewing machine, the design of the workplace, and the work method. By applying the basic motions of the MTM-1 system, elaborated standard sets of hand suboperations and the RAV and ZAK method for determining machine-hand sewing times, it is possible to determine the time of technological operation. The MTM calculator tool was intended to make it simpler to identify work methods and time norms based on the MTM system. It calculates the production time for a technical sewing process

“…To produce a garment, Colovic (2011), Pomeror (1992), andArmstrong (2015) assert that one needs to go through several processes, which may include designing, pattern making, lay planning, cutting, sorting, bundling, application of interfacing, assembling (sewing), pressing, finishing, and packaging. The aforementioned activities in the large-scale industries are carried out by individual professionals with varied expertise, while at the small-scale level, one has to master everything, which places many health challenges on tailors or dressmakers who find themselves in this phenomenon.…”

The garment industry contributes enormously to the socio-economic development of societies. Inadequate facilities compel small-scale workers to carry out most of the garment production processes manually during long working hours, thereby affecting their health. Repetitive activities such as patternmaking and assembling have their own health challenges. The study envisages health-related problems involved in garment production processes and their effects on the wellbeing of tailors and dressmakers. To help achieve this, the research examines the workplace health and safety compliance situation in the small-scale garment industry and identifies health-related problems associated with production processes. A qualitative research approach was employed. The population for the study comprised tailors and dressmakers who have consecutively been in the garment production sector for a period of five to twenty years. A snowball sampling technique was used to gather a sample of forty (40) dressmakers and tailors. In-depth interviews with structural questions, observation, and focus group discussions constituted the data collection instruments. The study reveals that the knowledge level of tailors and dressmakers with respect to health issues is very low. Again, the research identified the use of unprescribed medications for the treatment of waist pain and headaches. This research highly recommends government and stakeholders' interventions to help improve the welfare of tailors and dressmakers working in the small-scale garment industries.
