Denimville, a prominent global jeans and sportswear manufacturer based in Guatemala City, is poised to elevate its production capabilities by integrating Coats Digital's GSDCost into its operational framework. The move is expected to optimize production efficiency, reduce costs, and standardize cost-to-make processes for the company. Denimville, renowned for manufacturing high-quality fashion jeans for premier global brands like Abercrombie, Hollister, and Loft, aims to boost its method-time-cost efficiencies by 4% to 7% following extensive GSDCost training.
With 1300 employees and an annual production of over 35 million pieces, Denimville specializes in unique dry and wet processes, emphasizing meticulous attention to detail and the use of premium materials. The adoption of GSDCost will enable them to deploy accurate, scientific methods across their production, streamline line balancing, reduce costs, and set realistic performance targets while ensuring fair wages for machine operators.
Denimville's commitment to modernizing its processes is evident, having previously implemented Coats Digital's FastReactPlan and VisionPLM solutions. GSDCost, a recognized international standard in the sewn products industry, facilitates a collaborative and transparent supply chain by establishing 'International Standard Time Benchmarks.' This common language and standardized approach support cost prediction, fact-based negotiation, and an efficient manufacturing process while aligning with CSR commitments.
Georgina Vazquez, Project Manager at Coats Digital, expressed excitement about the partnership, foreseeing substantial improvements in Standard Minute Values (SMV) within a year. Denimville's CEO, Daniel Hernandez, believes that GSDCost will further solidify their commitment to innovation and industry best practices, ensuring their competitive edge in the global market.
