Bangladesh’s garment export to India will continue to grow, says Faruque Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).

Bangladesh garment shipments increased by 58.07 percent to $365.95 million in the July-December period of the current fiscal year from the $231.53 million recorded in the same period a year ago, according to data from the Export Promotion Bureau.

Of the total, knitwear exports surged by 66.46 percent to $161.69 million in value. The shipments of woven garments surged 52 percent to $204.26 million at the same time.

Exporters say the demand for Bangladeshi garment items is rising in India because of the expanding middle-income groups in the world's second-most population nation. Many prefer garment items produced in Bangladesh as they cannot afford expensive Indian high-end garment items.

Apparel production is characterised by labor-intensive manual operations, frequent style changes, seasonal demand, and shortening production lead times.

With fierce competition worldwide, many manufacturers are switching their production from traditional mode to agile mode to shorten their response time to changes.

In a complex mixed-mode production environment, it is very important to allocate job orders to suitable production lines to ensure the effective utilization of production resources and on-time completion of all job orders.
