Lectra solution helps dancewear manufacturer expand
18/06/2015
The US-based company requires a quick turnaround time for its 800 styles, 600 of which change yearly.
Ashley Stone, vice-president of operations, said: “Manufacturing dance attire can be tricky; each design uses four to eight fabrics, some of which are challenging such as brocade, which tends to ravel easily.
“The nature of our business calls for a certain level of flexibility and responsiveness in our manufacturing process. We rely on shorter production runs but still need to operate in a cost effective manner to keep our current price point even in the face of rising fabric expenses.”
The time savings will enable the company to focus on increasing market share and expanding its presence in Europe, Asia and Australia.
