Case Study: Silken Sewing achieves 25% reduction in non-productive time, 4% factory efficiency gain and 10% lower material inventory with Coats Digital's Evolve

Silken Sewing Ltd. implement best practice planning in only 6 months, resulting in 25% reduction of non-productive time, 4% factory efficiency improvement and 10% reduction in material inventory

Silken Sewing Ltd., founded in Dhaka in 2008, is a world-class knit garment manufacturer with 600 machines across 26 sewing lines, a capacity of one million pieces per month and around 1,900 employees. Before implementing Fast React’s Evolve software, the company faced slow, error-prone coordination between merchandising, planning and production, relying on multiple spreadsheets and emails that obscured production status and delayed plan execution.

Silken deployed Evolve’s detailed line-level planning boards and pull-system T&A scheduling, completing implementation quickly (project delivery in three months, with benefits evident within six). The solution gave clear visibility of capacities and weekly loading, cut non-productive time by 25%, improved factory efficiency by 4%, reduced material inventory by 10%, increased plan-vs-actual performance by 5%, and saved management roughly 200 man-hours per month through automated reporting.
