Coats Digital, a leading provider of industrial solutions, announced its collaboration with Propper International Inc™, renowned for manufacturing over 120 million garments for the US Department of Defence and various other sectors, has adopted Coats Digital’s cutting-edge GSDCost solution.
This strategic partnership aims to revolutionise Propper’s production operations by introducing accurate, scientific methods. GSDCost promises to optimise efficiencies, streamline balancing, and enhance capacity planning processes in which projections indicate that efficiency improvements ranging from 3 per cent to 7 per cent are anticipated in the first year of implementation.
This transition will eliminate discrepancies in time, cost, and method analyses, ensuring efficient and sustainable production management.
Eric Marambio Engineering Manager, Propper International Inc., said, “The GSDCost implementation is giving Propper a lot of advantages, such as: structured sewing operation methods, achievable production goals, accurate SAMs / SMVs to calculate the correct amount of machine and labour resources required and a solid platform to store and share all this vital information amongst relevant teams.”
He further added, “GSDCost’s user interface is exceptionally intuitive, and I have no doubts that this engineering tool will help us to achieve the next level performance we need to improve all our product ranges quickly and successfully.”
Coats Digital’s GSDCost is recognised globally as an industry-standard solution, promoting collaboration, transparency, and sustainability in the sewn products sector. It facilitates the establishment of ‘International Standard Time Benchmarks,’ fostering accurate cost predictions, fact-based negotiations, and efficient garment manufacturing, all while upholding corporate social responsibility commitments.
