Garment SAM Calculator

Calculate Garment SAM Through Time Study

Are you struggling to calculate Standard Allowed Minutes (SAM) for your garment production? Do you find manual calculations time-consuming and error-prone? We’ve got you covered! Introducing our free SAM Calculator – a simple, accurate, and efficient tool designed for garment manufacturers, industrial engineers, and production managers.

What is SAM?

SAM (Standard Allowed Minutes) is the time required to complete a specific operation in garment production. It’s a critical metric for:

• Estimating production costs
• Setting production targets
• Improving efficiency

Why Use Our SAM Calculator?

This calculator is based on Time Study, the most widely used method in the industry. Here’s why you’ll love it:

• Easy to Use: Just input your data, and get instant results.
• Accurate: No more manual errors or guesswork.
• Free: No hidden costs or subscriptions.

How to Use the SAM Calculator

Using our calculator is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Enter Cycle Time: How long does it take to complete one cycle of the operation? (in minutes)
2. Enter Performance Rating: What’s the operator’s efficiency level? (in percentage)
3. Add Allowances:
   • Bundle Allowance: Time for handling bundles (in percentage)
   • Personal Allowance: Time for personal needs (in percentage)

Click Calculate SAM! You’ll get the Standard Allowed Minutes in seconds.

Why is SAM Important?

Calculating SAM helps you:

• Plan Production: Set realistic timelines and targets.
• Control Costs: Accurately estimate labor costs.
• Improve Efficiency: Identify bottlenecks and optimize processes.

Example Calculation

Let’s say:

• Cycle Time: 1.5 minutes
• Performance Rating: 80%
• Bundle Allowance: 10%
• Personal Allowance: 20%

SAM Calculation:

1. Basic Time = (1.5 × 80) / 100 = 1.2 minutes
2. Bundle Allowance = (1.2 × 10) / 100 = 0.12 minutes
3. Personal Allowance = (1.2 × 20) / 100 = 0.24 minutes
4. SAM = 1.2 + 0.12 + 0.24 = 1.56 minutes

Our calculator will do this math for you in a flash!
