During my time in the Apparel industry I have noticed there is a lack for a particular skill and that is fabric utilization and cutting room management. With this I present myself to you and your company in order to ensure you get the most out of your fabric.
When producing garments in many parts of the world you are looking at 60% to 70% of the cost taken in fabric, so this must be controlled. With the correct systems and procedures ensuring you fully utilize your fabric you can also ensure or improve your shipment performance.
Your fabric and accessories must be controlled, Every single inch of fabric and every single accessory no matter it's a button or label must be accounted for, after all at the end of the day you don't want to be having garments on hand at the end of an order and shipment because you have not got a couple of labels to ship the goods. Good systems and management controls in place will ensure you don’t have these issues. And on another side could increase your shipment performance.
As it stands right now, most buyers will accept over 100% shipment; this is an area that factories need to target because anything past 100% will bring extra revenue to the company without any additional cost because you have already purchased the raw materials (fabric and accessories.
Please browse my site and see how I can help you in this area, after all just a small percentage of saving in fabric together with an increased shipment performance is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars (US$) to your company.
