Industrial
Engineering Sewing Data: IESD details, motion Codes & application- Part: 1
IESD is a database of time values that evolved from MTM-2. There are 31 codes (time values). 7 categories of sewing related human motions. IE + SD = IESD
Common Sequence:
1. Take part (s)
· 1 hand
· 2 hands
2. Position onto presser-foot
3. Sew
· Adjust parts
· Distance and stop precision
4. Trim and cut
· Using scissors
· Using blade,etc.
5. Put away
· 1 hand
· 2 hands
