Textiles and Softgoods

The textile industry is characterised by a complex production network which spans many businesses and usually crosses international boundaries. In addition, sales are highly volatile and seasonal, and order fulfillment windows can be very tight. Good production planning and inventory management is key to a profitable operation.

MJC² offers a new approach to this problem using our e-enabled manufacturing scheduling toolsets. We take an integrated approach which spans stock balancing & inventory management, production planning and distribution scheduling.

Production Planning and Distribution

Flow of information between business partners, and the ability to respond to this information is vital in the textile industry. Our e-Stock toolset uses internet technology to transfer orders or stock details automatically between business systems in remote sites. Production planning systems respond dynamically to new orders, adjusting production schedules optimally and automatically creating requests for raw materials or transport resources, based on a synchronised distribution schedule.

Our approach ensures that there are no 'rough edges' or mismatches between production and distribution, and more importantly that customer demand is anticipated and met. Collaboration between business partners is facilitated by our e-Stock system, allowing suppliers to manage customer stocks and replenishment orders, while customers have automatic access to product availability and lead-times.
