1. Understanding the Global Apparel Manufacturing Process: PRODUCT ASSEMBLY

2. Product Assembly
Apparel assembly usually involves one of four basic methods:
Whole Garment/Tailoring
Progressive Bundle/Piecework
Unit Production
Modular Manufacturing

3. Whole Garment/Tailoring
One person creates the design, pattern and assembles the garment from start to finish.

4. Progressive Bundle/Piecework
Each operator does different parts of the assembly process

5. Unit Production
This system involves transporting all of the parts of the product together in a carrier through the entire assembly process

6. Modular Production
Multiple operators work together as a team to create the product with each individual performing multiple steps.
