Integrated Solutions Increase Efficiency and Reduce Waste in Clothing Manufacturing - www.microsoft.com
Vigosa Exports wanted to increase the efficiency with which it manufactures clothing for buyers in the United States and Europe. By deploying Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 and a suite of products from Microsoft Certified Partner REACH Technologies, Vigosa has reduced fabric consumption by as much as 5 percent per order. It has decreased the time to resize clothing patterns from 30 hours to 4 and all but eliminated resizing errors. And it has gained the ability to optimize the allocation of pattern layouts to fabric rolls, which has increased the overall yield of fabric rolls by as much as 2 percent. Over the course of a year, these improvements add up to a significant improvement in Vigosa’s profitability.
