Throughput time is investigated for men’s shirt assembly line in garment manufacturing company. The comparison ismade between theoretically calculated and actual throughput time. The theoretical throughput time is calculated viastarting lag times, lag times and bundle times between succeeding pairs of operations of the product flow process gridcritical path. The influence of bundle size on throughput time and work in process is evaluated. The comparison ofpredicted and actual throughput time shows that predicted time was 10% lesser than experimental one. The evaluationof bundle size effect on throughout time and work in process shows that the bundle size can have great influence oncompany flexibility and competiveness.
