“In the face of the current complex and changeable external environment at home and abroad, traditional manufacturing companies are facing unprecedented challenges. This has also ushered in a huge window of opportunity for the industry to upgrade its processes accordingly. There is still a lot of room for improvement at a digital level for the footwear industry as a whole, especially with regards the operation mode in production planning management – which is still relatively traditional in its approach. “
Chairman Zhu,
Gold Emperor Group
Chairman Zhu, Gold Emperor, added : “Group management now needs to communicate quickly and have faster access to data so it can seamlessly integrate more in-depth information. Without robust technologies in place, it is difficult to respond quickly and accurately. At present, Gold Emperor is facing demands for more complex and varied order requests from more customers than ever before. The layout of our production bases, both at home and abroad, are developing rapidly, and an accurate planning management solution such as FastReactPlan, is a prerequisite for our expansion and future growth.
The planning department is the production command centre of any manufacturing enterprise. It is therefore essential to build a factory that has a robust precision command system at its very heart, so that management teams can respond quickly and accurately at all times.Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan solution will become the business-critical cornerstone of Gold Emperor’s digital transformation strategy. The solution will provide the dynamic and visual planning of capacity, materials and pre-production preparation; the coordination and control of all production operations, and a seamless and accurate data management flow.”
“Gold Emperor’s Chairman Zhu personally initiated and promoted this project. Following three months of research, Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan solution was eventually selected from many other service providers to serve as the optimum scheduling management tool for our various programme departments.”
