Abstract

Taytay Rizal is known as the “Garment Capital of the Philippines” and is very popular among bargain-hunting shoppers. The garment industry is one of the major contributors to the municipalities’ economic growth. The emergence of fast fashion trends made the garment business in the municipality very lucrative. The industry, however, is highly competitive necessitating efficient management of planning of costs, schedules, and resources. The Critical Path Method (CPM) is an operations research technique that is useful for managers in managing projects and creating accurate project schedules. It is very useful in making optimal decisions in scheduling and determining critical activities to ensure the project’s earliest finish. This research aims to determine the project duration, costs, and critical path for a garment business startup using the POM-QM application for Windows. Descriptive research method was used where data was collected through literature reviews, direct observation, and interviews of garment shop owners and garment sub-contractors. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of critical path method is necessary to complete the garment business project on time. The entire project will require 96 days of completion in normal time and a 15.67 percent increase in the garment business project costs was observed to shorten the project duration to 52 days. This study is limited to the garment shop owners and garment sub-contractors in Taytay Rizal and is further limited to garment business projects for ladies’ blouses and dresses.

Abstract

A sole proprietorship is without a doubt, the simplest form of business organization. Garment business on the other hand is considered as one of the most popular ventures among women entrepreneurs in the Philippines. This study aimed to determine the status, issues and concerns of sole garment business in Taguig City to serve as basis for a proposal towards enhanced operations. It also attempted to determine the issues and concerns encountered in women entrepreneurs and their employees in the course of running the business. The descriptive method of research was used and it involved twelve (12) proprietors and fifty (50) employees as respondents. The data were analyzed and interpreted using the frequency, percentage, weighted mean and t-test. Results revealed that the respondents strongly agree on objective of the sole garment business, personnel, capital investments, operations requirements, wages and benefits, and supply of raw materials as vital factors for enhanced operations of sole garment business. The null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the perceptions of the proprietors and employees on the status of sole garment business was accepted when it came to personnel, capital investments, operations requirements and wages and benefits. However, such null hypothesis was rejected when it came to objectives, raw materials supply, and equipment. As to issues and concerns encountered in sole garment business, the need for technologically advanced equipment came first, management style was ranked second, keeping up with fast fashion trend came in third while supply of raw materials was ranked fourth and inadequacy of business capitals came in the fifth rank.
