Production Engineering.

To paraphrase the last couple months of work at the factory.

Production engineering for a sewing floor is reading a few books by Shigeo Shingo and then watching someone work on a specific task for hours, or some times days. Then make incremental improvements to productivity by streamlining work stations and eliminating waisted actions like moving a pile of jeans from point A to point B.

The result is significantly improved sewing times and consistency.

The increase in productivity allows me to pay my employees more. We have moved from a hourly pay rate to base pay and production bonus. Some folks are taking home 25% more than they were just a few weeks ago. That is huge!

Production is up.

Wages are up.

Consistency is up.

Prices are going down!

Right now I am running the WELCOME20 for 20% off your order at Dearborn Denim.

With the continued support of our customers we are going to build a ol' apparel manufacturer in Chicago.

Thank you for your continued support of ethical apparel manufacturing in the USA.

Best,

Robert McMillan
