The challenge
A vertically-integrated textile mill ran yarn, weaving, dyeing, and finishing as separate islands. WIP inventory ballooned because nobody saw the whole cycle.
Our approach
- Single batch ID flows yarn → weaving → dyeing → finishing.
- Per-stage WIP dashboard with bottleneck alerts.
- Shopfloor tablets for stage-completion signoffs.
- Costing rolled up per batch in real time.

−25%
