The purpose of this study is to determine how Bangladeshi garment industry’s sewing defect reduction and productivity enhancement are affected by the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) and 5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) techniques. One of the main reasons for production delays and increased costs are sewing defects. By reducing defects, improving Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and methodically using integrated PDCA concepts, the study aims to streamline and expand the production flowline while also increasing throughput. To continuously evaluate and improve the sewing process, the 5S method is also employed. For the proper identification of the defect some tools like cause effect diagram, pareto chart was used. The OEE was used to evaluate the actual efficiency of it. Basically, the integration of 5S and PDCA as Lean Methodology was utilized to minimise the rate of defect and maximize the quality to improve the efficiency as well. For this purpose, data was collected from some renowned factory of Bangladesh. This mixed-integrated methodology is used in the study to integrate quantitative defect analysis with worker satisfaction along with efficiency surveys. The findings ought to offer valuable insights to the RMG industry in Bangladesh, as producers seek sustainable methods to increase productivity and enhance product quality while mitigating the impact of sewing errors on their overall production procedures. OEE was increased by almost 3-4% through this research.

Recently, the competitiveness and awareness of productivity have increased rapidly among different industries. Hence, the performance evaluation of the criteria affecting the productivity is needed to improve productivity and strengthen the management of the organization. In Bangladesh, Ready Made Garments (RMGs) is one of the most probable and profitable sectors which is considered as the main economic strength of the country. In this study, a two-phased research method has been projected to find out some governing factors affecting industry’s output. In the first phase, six criteria associated with the productivity have been identified based on literature, inputs from experts, opinions from the officials and managers of six garments industries in Bangladesh. In the second phase, among different MCDM tools, Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) has been used for evaluating criteria weights and ranking the criteria. Among several criteria, line-balancing criterion has been found as the most important factor to improve the RMG’s productivity.

The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing .In this age of agile manufacturing the global competition characterized by both technology push and market pull had forced the companies to achieve world-class performance through continuous improvement in their products and processes, reduction in cost, reduce wastes, increase quality, increasing of effectiveness, safety increasing, reduction of the pollution, increase decision making power and improved methodology. To want all this changes, there is need to adopt new the management system. In management system there are many types of techniques. The present work is dedicated to study and implement 5S methodology. In this work, proper system will be analyzed to reduce the wastes, reduction in cost, processes, and increase decision making power by implementing 5S techniques. Apart from this, theoretical results compared with original data from industry before and after implementation.
