How to boost productivity by 2-8% by improving manufacturing methods-time-cost (SMVs)

The global fashion industry is under cost pressure stemming from high raw material prices, increasing labor costs, combined with fragmented order books and a move to on-demand production. These challenges introduce greater complexities which are negatively impacting profit margins. Adopting GSD, which sets the industry standard benchmarks for SMV calculation, can significantly boost productivity and right first-time percentage.

Join us on October 3rd to learn how fashion manufacturers are improving manufacturing sewing methods and standards to simplify operations as well as drive significant improvements in productivity and profit margins. Gain valuable insights on:

  • Challenges facing the apparel manufacturing industry
  • Improving method-time-cost standards and establishing accurate SMVs
  • Optimising project / proposal costings
  • Building stronger relationship with brands by sharing a common language
  • Effective line balancing with faster delivery
  • Supporting workers motivation, retention, and fair wages
  • Real examples from the industry with tangible ROI
