Abstract

The rapid evolution and intensifying competition within the textile industry necessitates production systems that are not only efficient but highly adaptive. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating Lean Manufacturing and Agile Manufacturing principles specifically within the textile printing process, an area that has been less explored. Lean strategies, cantered on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and the Six Big Losses model, were utilized to systematically eliminate inefficiencies. Simultaneously, an Agile Manufacturing framework, structured around Agility Drivers, Capabilities, and Providers, was deployed to boost responsiveness to dynamic market demands, particularly from the fast fashion sector. Addressing the major bottleneck of extended machine setup times and suboptimal equipment performance in conventional operations, the research applied Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) techniques and agile constructs directly on the production floor through a constructive research methodology. The outcomes reveal significant gains in both setup speed and operational flexibility, marking a pioneering step toward transforming traditional textile production into a more agile and competitive model. This work provides a fresh strategic roadmap for adapting legacy systems to the realities of today’s volatile markets.
