A COMPUTER-AIDED BONUS SYSTEM MODEL BASED ON PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY IN READY-MADE GARMENT BUSINESSES

Abstract

Today, as in many sectors, there is fierce competition in the ready-made garment sector. In labor-intensive businesses such as ready-made garment businesses, employee performance directly affects business performance and thus the competitiveness of the business. Therefore, bonus systems that build on key performance indicators such as productivity and quality in the ready-made garment sector are important to incentivize increased worker productivity. However, for such bonus systems to work effectively, there is a need for accurate measurement of employee performance and a fair distribution system. For this purpose, it is vital to use a computer-aided system that will receive accurate and timely employee performance data from the production site and make a fair and transparent distribution according to the bonus model. This study proposes a bonus system model based on productivity and quality performance criteria for direct employees in ready-made garment businesses. The model is based on the components of time, piecework and profit sharing. In the model structure, the increase in operator performance increases the profitability of the business, and the increased profit is returned to the operators as an increased bonus. This creates cooperation based on a win-win strategy. In the computer-aided model, the data required for the correct measurement of operator performance is collected from the field in real time, and a fair bonus system is created.
