Frequently Asked Questions
SMV stands for Standard Minute Value. It is the time allowed to complete a specific task under standard working conditions, used in garment manufacturing for production planning and costing.
SMV is calculated by multiplying the basic time (observed time after rating) by (1 + allowance percentage/100). The allowance includes personal, fatigue, and delay allowances.
Allowance percentage typically ranges from 10% to 25%, depending on the nature of the work and company standards. A common value is 15%.
