Cost cutting, increasing efficiency levels and exploring newer markets is the only mantra to sustain ones business in this highly competitive scenario. A few leading export houses implemented lean systems in their factories and today they are happy with the results as their cost of production has dropped drastically because they could arrest wastages and increase efficiency levels at the shop floor.
Sangar Overseas, which has recently adopted lean systems, is already experiencing the benefits. Highly charged up with the results Rajiv Sangar, Director of the company disclosed, “By adopting lean manufacturing systems we have been able to reduce the production cost by 10% and have equally increased our efficiency levels by a similar margin.”
Having a total of 400 machine setup, the company has implemented lean systems on 200 machines and in the next three months lean would be implemented on the remaining 200 machines also. “Normally what we have observed is that lean systems cannot be implemented as per the guidelines “as is”, it has to be customized as per the structure of the company in terms of infrastructure as well as human resource. Even our consultant has customized it as per our need. I can see improvement in all the divisions; from store to shipment,” adds Rajiv.
Sangar Overseas specializes in fashion kidswear with the FOB rates ranging from US $ 7 to US $ 8 and is mainly exporting its garments to retailers in Europe, UK, Brazil and other South American countries. With all these developments, the company is expecting a 25% growth this fiscal.
