The Problem
The company had to respond to greater demand by increasing production volumes and maintain margins, increased labour and raw material costs placed further challenges on profit margins. Rapid changes in a fashion conscious market meant that demand was volatile, and the company had to be able to respond to customer needs quickly, while effectively managing inventory and fixed costs.
- Client : Private
- Business Area : Production volumes and Profit Margin

We worked with the company to map out the end to end flow of receiving orders and delivering product. Working with key members of the business, we identified areas for improvement from order processing, manufacturing, and fulfilment processes. We worked with a cross functional team to select where we could remove waste, meet quality targets, and reduce cycle times.
