Remaining competitive is perhaps the biggest challenge for the industry today…
more so as the uncertainties that impact global trade is aplenty and not all of them
are in the control of the manufacturer.
Among the ‘un-controllable’ factors that affect business is ‘currency fluctuation’. While the rupee has remained largely stable against the dollar in recent times, other currencies have weakened sharply, making such countries more competitive. But these and similar such situations will continue to impact the exports from time to time.
What manufacturers can do is rework their internal systems and rely on technology to improve productivity, worker’s efficiency and bring down cost of production so as to offer more competitive prices. It is a continuous process for progress and to safeguard against any future uncertainties and adverse situations.
Identifying technology that can help achieve determined goals is critical…, and it’s the reason we have reviewed the recently concluded GTE, New Delhi edition in a new and more meaningful format, seeking to help the industry to find the right fit for their requirements among the maze of technologies available in the market.
Each new feature in a machine enhances performance, and for industry it is not always easy to search out what serves them the best. With the new format, StitchWorld has segregated the showcased machines under five broad categories ‘Thread’ on the basis of the defining features of the machines, going through and searching technology is more productive.
The five ‘Threads’ are – Productivity Improvement, Innovation, Value Addition, The Compliance Influence and Automation in Jeans Manufacturing. All these factors are major thrust areas for the industry and while each manufacturer looks for technology which best suits his setup, the quest to stay competitive is the driver. New brands and updated features of old versions are highlighted separately for easy reference.
SW takes its role of a facilitator to enhance performance of factories very seriously…, and another effort in that direction is the series of workshops that we have initiated. The upcoming topics include – Implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in Apparel Industry, and Implementing Lean Sigma in Textile and Apparel Industry. We all also plan to have another session on Implementing Total Quality Management (TQM) in Textile and Apparel Industry on popular demand. Details of the workshops will be announced soon. After the positive response to the first workshop, we are determined to give more such interactive and useful workshops.
Taking the growing interest in the TQM concept a step further, the next issue of SW will feature the first article in a series developed by the highly skilled Team of SW on TQM implementation. With many combined years of shopfloor and consulting experience in implementing QMS system, the experts in the three-article series will describe implementation procedure of different QMS systems, viz. TQM, ISO System and Six
Sigma in textile and apparel sector.
