Research on Scheduling and Optimizing Design in the Upper-making Processes of Men's Shoes

Production efficiency of a sewing machine process has a direct influence on production efficiency of a related shoe factory. Because there are many upper-making processes with complicated techniques, it is essential to arrange and optimize the upper-making process. Through the research on both action and time of these processes, this paper shows examples that illustrate how to analyze the techniques of a sewing machine, ascertain the procedure and order of a process, and finally how to optimize and arrange all processes. The focuses of this study are that, managing the production time around an advantageous mode of production, reasonably arranging the employees, space layout and the performance of machines, putting forward a proposal for improving production efficiency, and further summarizing the upper-making process of men’s shoes with efficient productivity.
