Time and Action plan

TNA is the process that guides the day-to-day activities of an organization or project.

It is the process of planning • what needs to be done, • when it needs to be done, • by whom it needs to be done, and • what resources or inputs are needed

to do it.

The TNA derived by assuming the order of

10000 pieces of casual top wear, made out of 95% cotton and 5% polyester, plain woven

solid dyed fabric, with embroidery logo on it. The order is for AW 2016, delivery date 31st

SEPTEMBER 2016, shipment at U.K.

Example

The buyer accesses the exporter and his organization on the basis of samples. Therefore it has to be innovative and of optimum quality. By sampling the exporter can estimate the yarn consumption for developing a fabric and get a clear idea on costing and the manufacturing difficulties.

Number of days required for production is decided by capacity allocated to that particular merchandise or number of days of available for actual shipment. For mentioned sample TNA, following assumptions were made while calculating the number of days required completing the production.

Assumptions: • No. of pieces= 10000• SAM of garment= 26.5 min• No. of M/c= 36• Efficiency = 50%

No. of days for production= No. of pieces*SAM*No. of machines*Efficiency%

Available Minutes.

No. of days for production= 10000*26.5*36*50% = 30 days
