Coats Digital’s GSDCost helps Vietnamese manufacturer
increase efficiency by 10%; on target to reduce manufacturing
production time by 50%
Coats Digital is delighted
to announce that following
the implementation
of its GSDCost, top
Vietnamese leisure and
sportswear manufacturer,
Son Ha Garment Joint
Stock Company, ( JSC) is
on its way to enhance its
efficiency improvement
goal by more 50 per cent.
‘GSDCost’, a well-known
method-time cost solution
for garment costing and
sustainable manufacturing,
initially helped improve
the core style Standard-
Minute-Values (SMV)
of the company by 10 per
cent. The much-talked
about GSDCost offers
accurately recorded SMVs
through helpful, standard
motion digitised codes so
that manufacturers can
optimise the costing process,
enhance manufacturing
efficiencies, introduce
achievable performance
targets and ultimately
increase sales to optimise
profitability.
It is a method analysis and
pre-determined timing
solution that is frequently
used by manufacturers
throughout the world.
With the help of this
new tool, brands and
manufacturers may easily
determine the fair living
wage allowed for a specific
garment in any factory
worldwide as well.
Notably, Coats Digital’s
updated Globalised Fair
Wage Tool incorporates the
International Standard Time
for each individual style
together with the nation’s
fair living wage, contractual
hours and specialised
production efficiency.
With the usage of
GSDCost, the Vietnamese
manufacturer Son Ha
Garment JSC has enhanced
productivity, order and cost
planning visibility, decreased
overtime costs, upgraded
on-time delivery and fair
wage negotiation in costing
proposals.
It has been progressively
integrated throughout the
organisation. The installation
across the unit also saved
hundreds of work hours.
As data and cost planning
reports were only based
on previously manually
obtained data, Son Ha
Garment JSC regularly
battled with productivity
because it was challenging
for team members to find the
information they needed.
Additionally, the lack of
accurate costing information
made it impossible to reach
a definite agreement with
customers, which wasted
crucial time.
Patrick Chau, Customer
Success Manager at Coats
Digital, said, “We are content
that Son Ha Garment JSC
has achieved such remarkable
efficiency results following
its deployment of GSDCost.
The only way that fashion
manufacturers can stay ahead
of the game is to quickly
digitise their processes, as the
industry is going to be more
competitive with constant
pressure to lower costs and
small orders. Standardising
SMV calculations is a surefire
way to boost production
efficiency, bring fact-based,
stable cost negotiations,
lower overtime costs and cut
down on material waste, all
the while motivating staff
with attainable performance
targets and quickly
responding to orders with
more complex requirements.”
