Özet
Flexibility in manufacture becomes essential with the shift and variation in consumption trends, with the increase in the number of rivals for the same product, with the need to deliver new goods to the markets, with the rapidly changing fashion styles, with the increase in the number of in-year and seasonal products, with the disintegration of standard product markets, and with the obligation to present diverse products to these segments. Compared with many product groups, the life-span of ready made clothing products is relatively short because of changing fashion trends. As a result of unanticipated and unpredicted demands, the products vary greatly. Consequently, the management of limited sources has become more difficult with the variation and ambiguities in ready made clothing companies. The performance of the system has to a large extent become linked to planning activities so as to rapidly respond to these variations and ambiguities. Flexibility is a concept related to ability of the production system to adapt to the changes in the market rapidly and effectively. The flexibility of a production system can be analyzed from various perspectives. The purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between capacity utilization and flexibility (of product, process and volume) levels by comparing the capacity utilization of ready made clothing producers and their flexibility levels. The findings of the study have been collected from 70 ready-made clothing producers in Turkey with over 100 workers. The data collected were processed statistically, and the relationships between the capacity utilization of companies and product flexibility levels, as well as those between volume flexibility levels and process flexibility levels were established.
