Case Study: Sae-a Trading Co. Ltd achieves greater cost transparency and production efficiency with Coats Digital GSDCost

Sae-a Trading Co. Ltd rolls out Coats Digital GSDCost across 41 facilities in 10 countries

SAE-A Trading Co. Ltd., a large global apparel manufacturer, faced challenges in standardizing its garment costing and production efficiency processes across 41 facilities in ten countries. Relying on disparate time studies and Excel spreadsheets, the company needed an accurate, unified system to measure labor costs and optimize methods. To address this, SAE-A partnered with vendor Coats Digital to implement its GSDCost method analysis and predetermined times solution.

The solution from Coats Digital provided a common digital language for establishing international standard time benchmarks based on accurate Standard Minute Values (SMVs). This enabled SAE-A to optimize processes, drive efficiency and productivity globally, and offer greater transparency into labor costs to support corporate social responsibility agendas. The implementation was rolled out on schedule across all facilities, equipping SAE-A with fact-based data for significant cost and waste reduction.
