A Coats Digital Case Study
Top Form International, a leading developer and manufacturer of ladies' intimate apparel, faced a challenge with inaccurate and obsolete Standard Minute Value (SMV) calculations. Relying on estimates and historical data for garment costing directly affected their production planning, efficiency, and overall business profitability. They turned to Coats Digital and its GSDCost solution to establish a scientific foundation for their manufacturing standards.
Coats Digital implemented its GSDCost solution, which uses Predetermined Time Standards (PTS) to establish accurate and consistent method-time data. This provided Top Form with a fact-based approach to eliminate guesswork in garment costing, optimize their costing process, and improve productivity. The Coats Digital team conducted comprehensive GSDCost training, resulting in newly licensed practitioners who can now benchmark manufacturing time and costs to drive manufacturing excellence.
