How made to order improves resource efficiency and cost savings
Fashion companies that produce products only after receiving an order reduces its environmental impact and operational costs. By integrating consumer demand data and production metrics, fashion companies gain significant improvements in material efficiency. This in turn reduces energy use, water consumption and eliminates the economic risks common to over production practices such as stockouts and textile waste. The result is a decrease in material throughput and production costs while maintaining or improving product consistency and quality standards.
Why the right technology is important to achieving made to order success
Made to order is an easy and, in many cases, simple production strategy to implement when using digital solutions. Fashion companies that take advantage of digital technology to optimize their processes with performance data and SMART KPIs avoid disruptions to their existing workflows—from order reception to the final cutting stages—and reduce the amount of effort needed to upskill employees. The right digital and automation technology enables fashion companies to increase operational agility, speed to market and realize cost savings without complicating existing production processes.
