Case Study: Japanese Textile Manufacturer cuts apparel lead times by 70% with Adexa eGPS

Dramatic Reduction Of Greige and Dye Processes by as Much as Two-thirds

Japanese Textile Manufacturer worked with Adexa, Inc. to address long apparel production lead times, poor visibility across yarn, greige, and dye plants, and the resulting inventory buildup and slow customer response. The company needed better coordination and more accurate order commitments in a process where it could take months for products to reach stores.

Using Adexa, Inc.’s eGPS suite, the manufacturer implemented a Quick Response supply chain system to improve planning, synchronization, and real-time data visibility across the extended supply chain. Adexa, Inc. helped cut greige production from 60 to 20 days and dye processing from 30 to 10 days, reducing total apparel lead time from 150 days to 45 days, a 70% improvement, while enabling weekly planning, smaller lot sizes, and faster, more accurate order promising.
