How to Track Tailoring Production in a Workshop?

Track tailoring production by organizing garments into a 5-stage digital kanban workflow (Queue, Cutting, Stitching, Finishing, QA). Artisans scan thermal barcode job cards upon completing their operation, updating order status in real time and automatically logging piece-rate payroll earnings.

The 5-Stage Workshop Production Flow

1. Fabric Queue & Bolt Tagging

Fabric is inspected, measured, and assigned an order barcode tag.

2. Master Pattern Drafting & Cutting

Master cutter drafts chalk patterns based on body parameters and bundles cut panels.

3. Assembly & Machine Stitching

Tailor constructs jacket body, attaches canvassing, sleeves, and pockets.

4. Hand Finishing & Iron Pressing

Artisan hand-stitches buttonholes, sews buttons, and presses the garment.

5. QA Inspection & Dispatch

Final check against original measurement specifications before customer pickup.
