Case Study: General Sportwear achieves 11% efficiency gain and streamlines payroll with CGS BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control

General Sportwear Enhances Production Efficiency And Streamlines Payroll Operations With Bluecherry® Shop Floor Control

General Sportwear Co., Inc., a leading private‑brand woven bottoms manufacturer, faced rapid growth that exposed the need for greater shop‑floor efficiency and a more streamlined, error‑resistant payroll process. To gain real‑time production visibility and improve payroll accuracy, General Sportwear selected CGS’s BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control.

CGS implemented BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control using its proven methodology to deliver real‑time production data, in‑line quality monitoring, and automated time capture (eliminating manual ticket processing). The solution produced measurable gains — an 11% increase in on‑standard efficiency, full payroll transparency, supervisors freed from administrative tasks, and the ability to increase output (up to ~150,000 units/week) while better controlling off‑standard time and absenteeism.
