Ms. Barbara Waeschle, garment technician from ESGE&#8217;s quality department, worked closely with the more than one dozen garment factories that are embracing the productivity and technical support offered by the SMART Myanmar project. During this visit, Ms. Waeschle also closely guided and instructed SMART&#8217;s SCP Trainees (nine young Myanmar engineering graduates) on how to assess and support the SMART factories as they work to improve their product quality control in accordance with international standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The main objective of this visit was to\u00a0increase the skills and practical knowledge of production among the garment producers.\u00a0Ms. Waeschle visited and suggested ways to improve sewing techniques in 7 factories, including: Rising White Tiger, Shwe Yee Zabe, Grand Sport, Wa Minn, Tri Sea, Shwe Sakar (2) and Princess Power. After visiting these factories, she &#8211; together with the local SCP Trainees &#8211;\u00a0developed production catalogues for each factory.\u00a0The production catalogues include suggestions about how to correct the less productive and efficient methods of production. Factories which follow these catalogues can\u00a0reduce extra work, increase quality standards of workmanship, reduce waste and energy consumption and enjoy cleaner and safer working environments.\u00a0The catalogues were written in both Myanmar and English to ensure maximum impact and educational cross-sharing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A reference for such catalogues can be downloaded\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.switch-asia.eu\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/Project%20news\/Production_20Improvement_20Catalogue_20General.compressed.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ms. Waeschle also introduced the\u00a0AQL 2.5 (Acceptance Quality Level 2.5)\u00a0which is the production quality inspection method for most consumer goods. Following this, the SCP Trainees developed AQL 2.5 forms both in Myanmar and English and explained to the factories how to utilize them. Ms. Waeschle and the SCP team also visited the factories of: Hall Mark, Myanmar Synergy, Golden Jasmine, Thiri Sandar and Maple for production improvement follow-ups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ESGE&#8217;s visit and support for the SMART Myanmar project is proving to be very fruitful, as their collaboration is increasing the skills and efficiency of local producers, thus leading to cost and efficiency savings. Furthermore, this experience can create\u00a0replaceable\u00a0lessons from which other local factories can learn and benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: switch-asia.eu<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 28th July to 15th August 2014, the German textile company ESGE conducted its third working visit with the\u00a0SMART Myanmar\u00a0team.
