The key challenges for the textile industry:
What to expect:
Inventory reduction
Better synchronization between operations shortens lead times, reducing WIP and allowing you to lower finished goods inventory through faster replenishment. The solution’s agility also enables rapid responses to demand changes, helping you avoid unnecessary inventory.
Increased productivity
The scheduling rules will group items of the same color for painting and automatically create a color gradient to reduce setups. Reductions in this and other areas, combined with decreased waiting times throughout production, can deliver efficiency gains of over 10%.
Reduce delays
Demand in the furniture market is highly variable, and the number of SKUs is very large. Improved visibility, faster scheduling, and greater accuracy in planning help reduce delays and stockouts, as issues are identified in advance, allowing simulations to take preventive actions and eliminate them.
Greater agility
Replanning is even more challenging than planning. A machine breakdown, rework on a component, or a change in demand for an item can create a cascading effect that requires rescheduling the entire plant. Responding quickly with a solid plan allows your team to focus on analysis and decision-making rather than just operational firefighting.
