Case Study: Ocean Lanka Pvt Ltd achieves 20% productivity gain and 23% capacity increase with Coats Digital's FastReactPlan

Ocean Lanka increase their daily production output through the use of Coats Digital's FastReactPlan

Ocean Lanka (Pvt) Ltd is Sri Lanka’s largest weft-knitted fabric manufacturer, operating a single Biyagama factory with over 250 knitting, 62 dyeing and 5 printing machines and annual output around 24 million lbs. Serving brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Nike and Marks & Spencer, the business faced overwhelming demand, fragmented planning across spreadsheets, poor visibility between departments, high WIP and constrained machine utilisation that limited productivity and on-time decision making.

Implementing Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan gave Ocean Lanka real-time planning visibility and improved cross‑department coordination, reducing response and lead times. The company raised productivity by 20%, increased daily output from 60 lbs to 80 lbs (a 23% capacity improvement), and maintained on-time delivery performance during a 23% sales growth period.
