How do you calculate SAM of a garment?

To calculate the Standard Allowed Minute (SAM) of a garment, you first break down the garment's production process into individual operations. For each operation, measure the time required to complete it under standard working conditions, considering factors like efficiency and allowances for breaks. Then, sum the time for all operations to determine the total SAM for the garment. This value helps in estimating production capacity and labor costs.
