Azim group, a garment manufacturer from Bangladesh, has selected Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan solution. FastReactPlan software solution will play a crucial role in ensuring that Azim group is able to navigate through the COVID-19 crisis and lead the digital transformation. Coats Digital specialise in technology based solutions for the fashion industry.
As the global economy and the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) sector recovers from the COVID-19 crisis, the need for fast, detailed, and accurate planning and control of manufacturing processes is more acute than ever before. Coats Digital’s market-leading FastReactPlan software solution will play a crucial role in ensuring that the Azim group is able to navigate through the COVID-19 crisis and emerge stronger by responding quickly, efficiently, and sustainably to customer demands.
With a firm belief that digitalisation has an important role to play in the sustainable and efficient use of key resources including people and materials, Azim group will utilise FastReactPlan from Coats Digital to optimise capacity planning, with materials and pre-production activities dynamically driven by the latest plan on a JIT, LEAN basis, according to a press release by Coats Digital.
FastReactPlan is developed exclusively for the fashion, textile and apparel industry and can be configured in multiple ways to reflect industry best practice and specific business requirements. The Azim group project will include detailed planning of the sewing lines as well as the scheduling of cutting, laundry and finishing processes within its denim specialised subsidiary, Global Outerwear, using the highly visual, sophisticated tools of the FastReactPlan planning board.
“Our response to the challenges arising from the COVID-19 crisis is key for the sustainability of the RMG sector in Bangladesh. After ensuring the health and safety of our people, we must drive forward with innovative strategies which will enable us to operate more efficiently and flexibly. FastReactPlan will allow us to optimise our planning with a highly visual and sophisticated system across multiple processes, and solve the major challenge of drastically shrinking delivery lead times,” Farhan Azim, deputy managing director at Azim group said.
“Azim group is a pioneer in the Bangladesh RMG Industry and we are delighted to work with its world-class team to support the company on its journey of digital transformation. Their journey will start with digitalising production planning and control, and then we will look for further opportunities to support the team with the Coats Digital ecosystem of connected solutions, driving increased visibility, flexibility, speed and cost-efficiency. In the face of unprecedented pressures within the global apparel industry such as increased speed to market, growing product complexity and order fragmentation, increased cost and most recently COVID-19, we look forward to supporting Azim group in digitalising their key business processes and helping them emerge from this worldwide crisis stronger than ever,” Ayan Barua, business development manager at Coats Digital said.
