what is SMV|| What is SAM|| Uses of SAM/SMV||How SMV is calculated?Standard allowed minute (SAM) or standard minute value (SMV) is used to measure the task or work content of a garment. It can be described as follows: when a normal operator can complete a task within the allowed time (minutes) at his 100% efficiency. For the past many decades, scientists, researchers, and apparel technicians did investigations on how much job has been allowed to do by following the standard method. According to the study, minute value has been defined for each movement needed to accomplish a job. SAM values for basic products, such as T-shirt, formal shirt, formal trouser, or jacket, can be estimated primarily to speed up the line balancing process. An estimated SAM helps in capacity planning of the factory, calculating the requirement of machinery and even helps to estimate CM (cut-and-make) costing of a garment. Like SAM, the efficiency of a production line/batch/section is one of the most important parameters for a factory. Daily line efficiency shows line performance. A cumulative data of every line which are running in the industry will give total production efficiency. Line output varies depending on the line efficiency. When a line performs at lower efficiency than the standard (100%), it will produce fewer units in a day compared to what line could make at 100% efficiency. However, the factory still spends the same amount of money for salary whether the line performs at 100% efficiency or less. Therefore, per unit cost will increase when the line performs at lower efficiency.To overcome this problem and enhance the overall production in the garment industry, an investigation of the correlation between SAM and production ef ciency will provide fruitful results to enhance productivity.
