Case Study: KDS Garment Industries achieves better scheduling and reduced downtime with Coats Digital's FastReactPlan

KDS Garment Industries in Bangladesh Implement FastReactPlan

KDS Garment Industries, a leading garment exporter in Bangladesh, needed a better way to manage production planning and scheduling as it faced pressure to increase capacity, reduce lead times, improve productivity, and stay in control of a complex operation. Its spreadsheet-based planning was difficult to manage and led to frequent fire-fighting, so KDS turned to Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan, a planning and scheduling solution built for the apparel industry.

Coats Digital implemented FastReactPlan quickly and easily, with KDS reporting it was online within two days of creating the masters. The solution gave the team a clear view of the full plan on one screen, improved scheduling and product allocation, reduced setup time and downtime, and helped planners spot issues earlier. The result was better efficiency, less manual calculation, stronger decision-making, and direct financial gains for KDS Garment Industries.
