Critcal Path of Merchandising

The document discusses the critical path method (CPM) for scheduling activities in a garment merchandising project. CPM involves identifying all project activities, estimating the duration of each, and determining dependencies between activities to create a network diagram. This allows identification of the critical path - the longest sequence of activities that determines the project's minimum completion time. Applying CPM to garment projects can reduce delays at pre-production and production stages by optimizing activity sequencing and coordination.

Critical path of merchandising

Critical Path Method and Garmenting


Time consumed in product development is the biggest issue. Approvals and bulk
fabric in house consumes approx. 75% of the total pre-production activity time and
as far the most time consuming task. Whole supply chain needs a system which

Reduces time spent in PD.

Co-ordinates internally for all pre -production activity each.

Producing a high quality clear cut specifications for manufacturing and quality
purposes

About 60% of the delays are at Pre production stage and remaining at the production
stage and reduction of such time can help the company in meeting the delivery dates
on time. Controlling the delay would enable the company to reduce the deviation
from the schedules lead time and honor the delivery date.

SCOPE OF CRITICAL PATH METHOD

Garment merchandising activities are characterized by people oriented function


.

Interdependent activities are synchronized between succeeding and preceding


activities to make process network .

Critical chain is the solution the garment industry is looking for as it is based on
task dependency.
CRITICAL PATH METHOD

The Critical Path Method, abbreviated CPM, or Critical Path Analysis, is a


mathematically based algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities. It is an
important tool for effective project management.

It was developed in the 1950s by the US Navy when trying to better organize
the building of submarines and later, especially, when building nuclear submarines.
Today, it is commonly used with all forms of projects, including construction,
software development, research projects, and product development, engineering,
and plant maintenance, among others. Any project with interdependent activities can
apply this method of scheduling.

The essential technique for using CPM is to construct a model of the project
that includes the following:

A list of all activities required to complete the project (also known as Work
breakdown structure),

The time (duration) that each activity will take to completion, and

The dependencies between the activities.

OUT PUT

The shortest time possible to complete the project.

The longest path of planned activities to the end of the project.

The earliest and latest that each activity can start and finish without making the
project longer.

Which activities are "critical" (i.e., on the longest path) and which have "total
float" (i.e., can be delayed without making the project longer.
