Abstract

Abstract
The ready-made garment industry faces many difficulties due to the lack of actual time production data, which can provide the necessary information to track product operations. There is no transparency for management in sharing information between departments. There is also a large gap between the actual production and the production plan established by the management. To overcome these difficulties, the use of automatic identification system and data capture (AIDC) is necessary to support management decision-making systems. (AIDC) is used to identify objects and collect data, as it helps provide direct data entry, without resorting to manual data entry methods. The various systems depend on (AIDC) technology are the Barcode, Quick Response (QR) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems.
This study aims to create a system by collecting and monitoring actual-time product data using AIDC systems. This system was applied to one of the garments factories, and recording product data at the time of entry and exit of product materials automatically in each department and obtaining the necessary reports. Hence, a comparison was made between the actual time of product data in the various departments and the production plan prepared previously. The study reported that there was a significant difference between the production plan and the actual time of the product data. The application of this system helped the management to obtain product flow data in the different factory departments at the actual time. It also built a modern and efficient management to help for making appropriate decisions.
