Introduction
The human factor has always been one of the issues significantly impacting the manufacturing process and preconditioning a critical deterioration in the quality of final products. For this reason, there are numerous attempts to minimize the negative impact of this factor and achieve better results. The article suggested for the discussion also revolves around the same issue. The fact is that the garment industry becomes especially vulnerable to the pernicious impact of this factor (Day, 2016).
If workers do not have the needed skills or make mistakes some pieces of clothes will be spoiled. The authors suggest one of the possible solutions, which implies additional training for employees to improve their skills and ensure the absence of critical mistakes. The given option can be considered efficient enough as multiple research works show that the explanation of innovative ways to perform essential activities demonstrates appropriate results (Montagna, 2015). For this reason, it can be applied in different conditions.
Discussion
Additionally, the authors assume that the explanation of quality’s significance to workers is a good way to attain better results. However, the suggested quality awareness program can be supported by the introduction of innovative tools to monitor the manufacturing process and admit mistakes preconditioned by the human factor at the early stages (Wright, 2017). It will help to reduce the number of spoiled things and preserve the high quality of garments produced by various companies.
In such a way, the problem of the human factor and its critical importance for all spheres becomes evident, and demands increased attention. One of the solutions presupposes the use of additional training along with the focus on increased workers awareness to ensure that they understand the importance of their contribution to the companys rise.
