Machine Layout:
The sewing machine is an essential element in the apparel industry. The performance of the sewing machine is directly related to the sewing operation. Before the sewing operation, we have to ensure the machine layout in a sewing floor. Generally, machine layout depends on order quantity, order style, lead time, etc. Here I am trying to show up basic polo shirt machine layout.
