Global Garment Manufacturer  Drives Fashion Planning, a leading garment manufacturer based in Hong Kong, successfully implemented the Lawson M3 Fashion Planning Workbench and the Supply Chain Order solutions. As two key components of the Lawson solution for the fashion industry, these enterprise applications are designed to help for achieving shorter planning and production lead times, respond faster to market trends and improve inventory management.

The Lawson M3 Enterprise Management System has been using since 2007 in its factories in seven countries to help minimize production peaks and valleys. To achieve that, the company identified medium- to long-term planning as one of the critical processes for its operation, because it needs to match production capacities across all factories with orders that it expects six to nine months in advance. To achieve higher visibility in material requirements planning, because most of the company’s products are made-to-order, requiring specific materials for specific orders. The company selected the Lawson Fashion Planning Workbench and Supply Chain Order solutions to help improve production and material requirements planning.

The Lawson M3 Fashion Planning Workbench  balanced production load across its multiple sites and assists with planning at the style/color level. This is a better plan capacity across the company’s various production sites and simulate load based on possible operational and business changes.

“With Fashion Planning Workbench, whether it is the sales team loading orders or the planners balancing capacity, all changes are immediately updated for everyone to see. We also saved time. For 200,000 orders, we used to take eight hours to download and sort date with Excel, but it can be done in 30 minutes now.”

The Lawson M3 Supply Chain Order solution helps  plan and manage order chains by linking orders with supply chain data. This helps the company manage issues related to changes along the supply chain. The solution is designed to help improve delivery accuracy, reduce inventories, eliminate manual work and allow more agile management of supply chain issues.

While requirements and expectations in the garment manufacturing industry have increased, one thing that hasn’t changed is the drive for lower costs and increased efficiency in Asia and Japan. “With Lawson M3 Fashion Planning Workbench and Supply Chain Order, garment manufacturers have a great deal of flexibility and automation that allows them to become more efficient, more responsive to market trends, and to reduce total costs.”
