Production Management and OHS

Efficient production management is crucial for handicraft textile SMEs to optimize workflow, maintain product quality, and meet market demands. Equally important is ensuring a safe working environment, where Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) standards are upheld to protect workers and enhance productivity. In Laos’ handicraft textile industry, where dyeing and weaving often take place in the producers’ homes in the villages, the importance of production management and Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) is even more critical. These practices must be adapted and applied to the specific context of home-based production to ensure both efficiency and worker safety.

This section offers insights into best practices for production management, as well as guidelines for implementing effective OHS measures that promote safer and more efficient handicraft textile production processes.
