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 25 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.
