Abstract
Efficient product development is the cornerstone of the garment industry, where customer satisfaction, quality control, cost-effectiveness and technological advancement converge. The product development department ensures the production of high-quality samples to secure order confirmations. This research explores the implementation of the 5S principles within the sample section of Esquire Knit Composite Ltd, Bangladesh. Using a two-phased case study approach, this research identifies inefficiencies and proposes solutions for a cleaner, more assembled and more efficient workstation. By implementing the 5S principles, i.e. Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, the study demonstrates measurable operational improvements, including a reduction in sample-related defects, shortened equipment and material search time, improved workplace cleanliness and safety conditions, and enhanced workflow organisation. The structured reorganisation of storage, labelling systems and cleaning responsibilities further enabled faster sample dispatch and reduced the risk of mixing buyer-specific materials. These outcomes indicate not only qualitative improvements in employee engagement and workplace discipline but also quantifiable gains in efficiency and productivity within the sample development process. Overall, the findings confirm the transformative potential of 5S principles in improving sample section performance and provide practical evidence for lean implementation in garment product development environments.

Title:Uvajanje načel 5S v oddelku za razvoj izdelkov v oblačilni industriji v Bangladešu
Abstract:
Učinkovit razvoj izdelkov predstavlja temelj oblačilne industrije, kjer se prepletajo zadovoljstvo kupcev, nadzor kakovosti, stroškovna učinkovitost in tehnološki napredek. Oddelek za razvoj izdelkov zagotavlja izdelavo visokokakovostnih vzorcev za pridobitev potrditve naročil. Raziskava obravnava uvajanje načel 5S v vzorčnem oddelku podjetja Esquire Knit Composite Ltd v Bangladešu. Z uporabo dvostopenjskega pristopa študije primera raziskava opredeljuje neučinkovitosti in predlaga rešitve za čistejše, bolj urejeno in učinkovitejše delovno okolje. Z uporabo načel 5S, tj. razvrščanje (Sort), urejanje (Set in Order), čiščenje (Shine), standardizacija (Standardise) in vzdrževanje (Sustain), raziskava prikazuje merljive izboljšave delovanja, vključno z zmanjšanjem napak, povezanih z vzorci, skrajšanjem časa iskanja opreme in materialov, izboljšanjem čistoče in varnosti na delovnem mestu ter boljšo organizacijo delovnih tokov. Strukturirana reorganizacija skladiščenja, sistemov označevanja in odgovornosti za čiščenje je dodatno omogočila hitrejše pošiljanje vzorcev ter zmanjšala tveganje mešanja materialov, namenjenih posameznim kupcem. Rezultati ne kažejo le kvalitativnih izboljšav v zavzetosti zaposlenih in delovni disciplini, temveč tudi kvantitativne pridobitve na področju učinkovitosti in produktivnosti v procesu razvoja vzorcev. Ugotovitve potrjujejo potencial načel 5S za izboljšanje učinkovitosti vzorčnega oddelka ter ponujajo praktične dokaze za uvajanje vitke proizvodnje v okoljih razvoja oblačilnih izdelkov.
