Collections, color shades, and production timings in apparel manufacturing.

Anyone who works in the textile and apparel industry knows that it is very unique. It's a sector with so many special characteristics that make manufacturing and supply chain management extremely complex. The challenges range from specific processes, such as dyeing in the finishing of knits and fabrics and their machines with different capacities and restrictions on the types of products they produce, to sewing processes that typically rely on a network of outsourced company to perform operations that must be balanced throughout the production chain.

Company in the segment served:

Neo supports the entire planning of your supply chain — from long-term to short-term — addressing industry-specific characteristics such as production and inventory strategies by product life cycle stage, yarn and dyeing batch constraints, balancing subcontracted sewing operations, and ensuring synchronization across the various processes of this vertically integrated chain.

The key challenges for the textile industry:

High inventory levels and demanding customers

The collection cycle is fast, and fabric and knit inventories can easily become unbalanced, leading to both excesses and stockouts.

Synchronization and Outsourcing

Because it is a highly verticalized chain with significant outsourcing, achieving synchronization and visibility across internal and external production is challenging.

Materials and lot management

The need for batch control and traceability, from yarn to weaving and dyeing, is unparalleled. In this industry, 1 + 1 does not always equal 2.

Long setup times and constraints

From dyeing gradients to printing press setups, this inefficiency only tends to grow as the number of SKUs increases, along with machine and labor constraints.

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

Scheduling rules will group similar items together, reducing setup times that do not add value. Better synchronization allows for reduced waiting times, generating more value directly for the product and making better use of company assets.

Reduce delays

Enhanced visibility, faster scheduling, and more accurate planning help reduce delays and stockouts by identifying issues in advance. This allows you to run simulations, take preventive actions, and eliminate problems— all while ensuring product availability without compromising customer service.

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.
