Case Study: Caribbean apparel manufacturer Grupo M reduces lead times and WIP with Coats Digital's Evolve planning solution

Grupo M introduces Fast React Planning Solution to Support Further Business Growth

Grupo M is a Caribbean-based garment manufacturer operating in the Dominican Republic and Haiti with close to 10,000 employees, producing knits, denim and lingerie plus embellishing and laundry services for major US retailers. With growth accelerating and a co-production model that leverages competitive labour and preferential US import duty, the company needed to reduce bottlenecks, lower WIP and inventory, and improve planning to meet customer demand for shorter lead times.

Grupo M selected Fast React’s Evolve planning solution to provide visual production planning, capacity management, MRP and critical-path control across all facilities. The implementation enables real-time visibility of capacity, materials and critical activities to drive on-time delivery, higher productivity, shorter production lead times and reduced material inventory, with an expected ROI of six months or less.
