(How Shwe Sakar Co. Ltd. managed to overcome bottlenecks in production capacity)

Regular maintenance of machinery and equipment at Shwe Sakar was practically non-existant. Unused sewing machines were stored in the production area and partly in a separate storage room. None of these unused machines were covered to protect them from dirt and dust; nor were they serviced or repaired.

This hampered the production flow and led to bottlenecks and, in the worst case, stopped the entire production.
