Our solution is to go expanding the existing facility in Gazipur with

modern technologies. Setting up a new factory in places Khulna,
Barishal or Rajshahi are not a viable option because these places don’t
have subcontracting factories. Also Govt won’t allow gas connections to
any new factories in these places. And it is a very risky task to actually
try to predict how the RMG sector will look like in ten or twenty years.
So upgrading the existing facilities having following objectives is the
better option. The upgradation should have the following objectives:
Automation:
Industrial Automation is needed to build modern factory including
robots. In addition more training for workers and on engineering skills
for installing and maintain equipment is needed.
LEED Certificate:
Obtaining an LEED certificate after meeting its nine prerequisites will
be the objective of this expansion.
Operation Scheduling:
Priority Sequencing Rules should be followed.

Computer simulation models are effective tools to determine which

priority rules work best in a given situation. Once the current process is
modeled, the analyst can make changes to the priority rules at various
operations and measure the impact on performance measures, such as
past due, flow time, and utilization using techniques like Critical Ratio,
SPT, S/RO. Advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems attempt
to link the scheduling process to demand data and forecasts, supply
chain facility and inventory decisions, and the capability of suppliers so
that the entire chain can operate as efficiently as possible.

Fire and Safety Issues:

The expansion should follow all kind of Fire and Safety issues
Abuse and Harassment, grievance, drinking water, machinery safety, use
of safety equipments, electrical safety, conducting fire drill and
evacuation drills etc.

Decreasing Lead Time:

Reduce manufacturing lead times and production cycle times by reducing
waiting time between processing stages, as well as process preparation times
and product or model conversion times.
Serious quality issues, both cosmetic and functional, may sometimes not
be discovered until the later stages of production, or even after the entire
batch is packed. In a situation where a high number of defects are
discovered during the pre-shipment quality inspection, the only wise
decision is to start over from scratch and order a remake. Same goes for
compliance issues, in case the product fails such testing.

Lean Manufacturing:

Reduce defects and unnecessary physical wastage, including excess use of

raw material inputs, preventable defects, costs associated with reprocessing
defective terms, and unnecessary product characteristics which are not
required by the customer.
Improve labor productivity, both by reducing the idle time of workers and
ensuring that when workers are working, they are using their effort as
productively as possible.
Have the ability to produce a more flexible range of products with minimum
changeover costs and changeover time.
Use equipment and space more efficiently by eliminating bottlenecks and
maximizing the rate of production through existing equipment, while
minimizing machine downtime.
