What is SMV (Standard Minute Value)?



Definition: SMV is defined as the time which is taken by a standard worker to perform a specified task in pre-defined condition.

Standard Worker is who, the potential worker who can give maximum output with the best quality & can improve productivity for a specific item & style.

 

SMV Formula = BASIC TIME + (BASIC TIME × ALLOWANCE)

Here, Basic time = Observed time X Rating

For example, suppose a standard operator takes 1 minute to complete an operation. Let put 15% allowance (Men, M/c & Time) and rating 80%

Basic time       = 1*0.80 = 0.80

SMV               = 0.8 + (0.8×.15) Min

= 0.92 Min

Normally it is expressed in minute value. SMV is also known as Standard Allocated Minute (SAM).

SAM and SMV are used interchangeably. Some experts define SMV in different ways. Like - SMV as cost per minute (monitory term) or SMV is used to express individual operation’s SAM and SAM is used to express complete product SAM.

SMV is calculated through two methods-

Method 1- Through Time Study

Method 2- Using synthetic Data-In this method 'predetermined time standard' (PTS) code are used to establish 'Standard Time' of a garment or other sewing products. Study the motions of the operation

 

Factors of SMV Affecting in Garments

Standard Minute Value of garments depends upon a good number of factors. They are as following-

  1. Type of garments
  2. Types of fabrics
  3. Garments size
  4. Garments design
  5. Difficulty of the processes
  6. Types of machine
  7. Types of technology

 

Cutting SMV Calculation 

Finding the SMV for cutting section is little bit difficult. There has to take time study for long time & also has to pass few steps. How to calculate the SMV for cutting section, there is given steps in the below

Lay Prepare SMV

Lay Prepare Time = (Lay prepare cycle time x manpower)/ (Marker pcs x number of lay)

Example: 8 layer men were taking 95 minute for preparing 111 ply lay & marker pcs 4 and rating 80%.

Now calculate lay prepare SMV?

Lay Prepare Time= (95x8)/ (4x111) =1.71 min.

Lay prepare SMV = (Lay prepare time X rating) + 10% Allowance

                                = (1.71x80%) + 10%

                                =1.51

Marker Prepare SMV

Marker Prepare Time = (Marker prepare cycle time x manpower)/ (Marker pcs x number of lay)

Example: 2 layer men were taking 12 minute for marker preparing 111 ply lay & marker pcs 4 and rating 80%.

Now calculate marker prepare SMV?

Marker Prepare Time= (12x2)/ (4x111) =0.054 min.

Marker prepare SMV = (Marker prepare time X rating) + 10% Allowance

                                = (0.054x80%) + 10%

                                =0.0475

Fabric cutting SMV

Cutting Time = (Cutting cycle time x manpower)/ (Marker pcs x number of lay)

Example: 2 cutter men were taking 30 minute for cutting 111 ply lay & marker pcs 4 and rating 80%.

Now calculate cutting SMV?

Cutting Time= (30x2)/ (4x111) =0.135 min.

Fabric Cutting SMV = (Cutting time X rating) + 10% Allowance

                        = (0.135x80%) + 10%

                        =0.12

Numbering/Sticker SMV

Numbering/Sticker Time = (Numbering cycle time x manpower x Body parts)/ (Marker pcs x numbering parts x number of lay) 

Example: 2 Numbering/Sticker men were taking 35 minute for Numbering 111 ply lay & marker pcs 4 and body parts 11, numbering parts 10, rating 80%.

Now calculate Numbering/Sticker SMV?

Numbering/Sticker Time = (35x2x11)/ (4x10x111) =0.17 min.

Numbering/Sticker SMV = (Numbering time X rating) + 10% Allowance

                                             = (0.17x80%) + 10%                                            

                                            =0.15

Shorting & Bundling SMV

Shorting & Bundling Time = (Shorting & Bundling cycle time x manpower)/ (Marker pcs x number of lay)

Example: 2 Shorting & Bundling men were taking 25 minute for Numbering 111 ply lay & marker pcs 4 & rating 80%.

Now calculate Shorting & Bundling SMV?

Shorting & Bundling Time = (25x2)/ (4x111) =0.11 min.

 

Shorting & Bundling SMV = (Shorting & Bundling time X rating) + 10% Allowance

                                             = (0.11x80%) + 10%                                            

                                            =0.10


Total Cutting SMV

Cutting SMV= (Lay prepare SMV+ Marker prepare SMV+ Fabric Cutting SMV+ Numbering SMV+ Shorting & Bundling SMV) + 3% Replace Allowance

                         = (1.51+0.04+0.12+0.15+0.10) + 3%

                       = 1.92 + 3%

                       = 1.98
