Are fabric costs eating into your margins? Is raw material waste piling up?

A dedicated Fabric Utilization Department is the missing link in your operations working independently to bridge the gap between merchandising, warehousing, and production.

With over 30 years of industry experience, I’ve seen a recurring issue: companies overlook cut planning and lay planning, leading to excess material costs, inefficient consumption, and warehouse clutter.

      Why Does This Matter?

• Raw materials can make up 80% of your total garment production cost waste isn’t an option.

• Traditional cut planning and marker production often ignore historical data, leading to costly inefficiencies.

• Without structured fabric utilization, BOMs expand unnecessarily, and materials go unused.

      The Solution? A Fabric Utilization Department
   * Data-Driven Cut Plans – Ensure fabric is used to its full potential.
   * Optimized Purchasing – Buy only what you need, reducing excess stock.
   * Warehouse & Merchandising Integration – Connect order quantities with real-time fabric availability.
   * Historical Data Utilization – Leverage past insights to refine future efficiency.

Just as Industrial Engineering departments optimize production times using Standard Minute Values (SMVs), a Fabric Utilization Department dictates precise fabric consumption ensuring every roll is used efficiently.
