Case Study: Wing Luen achieves 40% capacity growth and reduced delivery delays with Coats Digital's Fast React Evolve

WING LUEN Knitting Factory Ltd uses Fast React to improve capacity utilisation and support strong growth

Wing Luen Knitting Factory Ltd, based in Dongguan, China, is a leading supplier of baby and infant wear producing up to 350,000 pieces a day for international buyers such as Carter’s, Tesco and Target. The company relied on ERP and spreadsheets but lacked clear visibility of capacity, materials availability and pre‑production status—critical for complex children’s wear with multiple styles, embellishments and safety tests—making it hard to shorten lead times or respond quickly to repeat orders.

In 2010 Wing Luen implemented Fast React’s Evolve, gaining single‑screen visibility, dynamic warnings, and apparel‑specific planning that reduced bottlenecks (including snapping) and sped decision‑making. Production staff focused on manufacturing while managers accessed accurate reports; as a result Wing Luen increased capacity by 40% (from 250k to 350k pieces/day), cut production and delivery delays and air freight, and achieved ROI within the first year, later extending the system to material demand and supply control.
