How to increase productivity by 5-10% and reduce costs!
Rising production costs and pressure to meet increasingly complex order requests mean that digitisation is no longer a nice to have: “the winners in the fashion supply chain will be those businesses that see themselves as technology businesses rather than purely retailers and manufacturers of apparel.” [Gartner]
While there is a push for digitisation at every phase of fashion supply chain, production planning & control is a key area that can deliver a paradigm shift to manufacturers, resulting in productivity improvements of 5-10% without adding any people or machines.
The webinar will discuss:
- Challenges facing the apparel manufacturing industry
- Fundamentals of modern planning operational excellence
- How to plan quicker and more accurately to accelerate production efficiencies
- How a visual plan incorporating critical path and material requirements can help reduce bottlenecks
- Benefits of a robust and dynamic planning solution
- Real examples from the industry with tangible ROI
Developed specifically for fashion manufacturers, Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan is the market leading production planning and control solution configured to reflect industry’s best practices and specific business requirements. Join our webinar to learn about how to reduce lead times, improve OTDP and efficiencies and manage costs more effectively.
