Abstract

PT XYZ is one of the companies in Bandung engaged in the textile industry. The company’s principal product is a plain T-shirt. The issue at PT XYZ is that the production capacity of plain T-shirts is not clearly defined, resulting in inconsistency and inaccuracy in production time. This, in turn, leads to delivery times that do not align with the agreed customer expectations. This research employs a quantitative methodology with a time study approach, to calculate the standard time, determine the production capacity of plain T-shirts, and formulate recommendations to enhance production capacity. The total standard time for each production process can be identified. The standard time is divided by the number of operators, resulting in the system cycle time. The system cycle time for the production of plain T-shirt A allows for the calculation of a capacity of 86 units per hour, while plain T-shirt B has a capacity of 101 units per hour. The research findings indicate that the total standard time required to produce one unit of plain T-shirt A is 398,54 s, and 412,63 s for plain T-shirt B. The production capacity of plain T-shirt A is 689 units per day, while that of plain T-shirt B is 810 units per day. Recommendations to increase capacity can be made in two ways: by adding operators or by increasing working hours.
