<p>                 </p> The garment manufacturing industry faces many global challenges due to various factors including competition, increased production costs, less productivity/efficiency and labor attribution. There is a need to concentrate on identifying the real issues, taking corrective actions suited to the specific industrial center of the unit, empowering the technical and managerial staff by enhancing their knowledge and ability, analyzing orders efficiently and deciding on actions which are viable for the company. <p><I>Industrial engineering in apparel production </i>reviews the techniques for internal correction. The author emphasizes that the industrial engineering concept needs to be imparted to the facilities to increase productivity and calls for a knowledge/technology approach that is system run, rather than people run.</p> <p><BR></p>
