dc.description.abstractThis project presents a structured approach to Process Improvement through Lean tools: A case study in the textile sector at Cotton Web limited, a garment manufacturing company. The organization currently faces challenges related to inefficient material handling and outdated methods, leading to process delays and reduced productivity. The primary aim of this study is to enhance operational efficiency and productivity by introducing improved material handling techniques and exploring faster, more effective alternatives to existing practices. Lean tools, particularly Kaizen and the PDCA (Plan – Do- Check –Act) cycle, are applied across three core departments – cutting, stitching, and finishing – to identify and eliminate wastes, optimize workflows, and drive continuous improvement with minimal cost and maximum impact. This project aligns with UN sustainable development goals (UNSDGs), especially Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), Goal 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure), and Goal 12 (Responsible consumption and production). Analytical tools such as MS Excel (for data analysis), Minitab (for control charts and cause – and – effect analysis), MS Visio (for process mapping), and MS Word (for documentation) were utilized to support the research and implementation phases. Overall, the proposed lean interventions have contributed to measurable improvements in process flow, worker efficiency, and waste reduction – ultimately enhancing Cotton Web Limited’s productivity and competitiveness in the textile industry.
