Production system for garments or other products.

摘要

A production system (10) for garments or other products includes a plurality of work stations (12) for performing a series of work operations in which parts of a garment or other product are progressively manufactured. A conveyorized transport system (14 to 24) extends between the various stations (12) and the flow of work between the various stations (12) is regulated by assigning class codes to each operation required for a garment and each operation available at the various work stations (12). The class codes for a given garment order are read sequentially from a data memory and as a requirement for each code or work operation arises in the course of producing the garment, the scheduler searches a second data memory to locate the work stations which offer the work operations corresponding to the class code sought. The scheduler then determines from among the available work stations (12) the specific work station to which the garment pieces are sent for performing the required work operation.
