Traditional garment production floor involves manually operated labor-intensive processes with a heavy pressure to deliver on time. Due to fierce competition and demand for shorter lead times, sometimes it gets very challenging for garment manufacturers to manually allocate the right job order to the right production line. It is very critical to have an automated production plan in place to deliver produced garments on time and with effective utilization of resources. Automating the entire production planning process can provide a systematic & comprehensive approach on the production floor, eliminating the last-minute firefighting with order processing.
