Abstract
Industrial Engineering (IE) is one of the important departments in apparel industry. The aim of this study is to minimize the production time and enhance the efficiency of the work to obtain the actual results monitored by the IE department. In this study, the 'IE Solution' app was developed using a mobile and web application development platform named ‘Firebase’. This app can be installed on android based mobile devices. It was designed in such a way that the IE experts can solve their necessary calculations rapidly and can monitor the production status in the right time. The user application of ‘IE Solution’ consists of the steps as – signing up to create an individual profile of users; logging-in app that redirects users to the calculation and hourly production. Here, target, efficiency and Standard Minute Value (SMV) calculation options. The hourly production form stores the daily production details per hour as well as daily efficiency. Through this app, the users not only can do the calculation, but also can monitor the time-to- time hourly production status and show the line efficiency per day. All the information can be stored in this app and can be accessed conveniently at any time, from anywhere; however, an internet connection is mandatory.
