Uniteks, one of Turkiye’s premier ready-made clothing manufacturers, has taken a significant stride towards enhancing its operational efficiency and profitability. The company has announced the adoption of Coats Digital’s GSDCost solution, aimed at revolutionizing its production operations.
With a keen focus on optimizing efficiencies, streamlining line balancing, and improving capacity planning processes, Uniteks seeks to ensure seamless alignment with customer expectations. This strategic move is anticipated to bring substantial improvements, ultimately boosting profits and solidifying its position in the market.
Uniteks, founded in 1990 and based in Izmir, Turkiye, is renowned for its intricately designed knitwear products, catering to esteemed global brands such as H&M, Zara, and Primark. Boasting an annual production capacity exceeding 40 million units and an annual turnover of $185 million, Uniteks consistently maintains its leadership position in the industry.
The decision to embrace GSDCost stems from the company's challenges with varied costings, inaccurate historical data, and inconsistent time studies. Ayhan Vatansever, Uniteks’ Productivity & Investment Manager, highlighted the need for standardized methods to address these issues effectively.
Coats Digital’s GSDCost solution, recognized as the international standard in the sewn products industry, offers a scientific approach to method analysis and time determination. This not only facilitates transparent garment costing but also fosters a more collaborative and sustainable supply chain.
In the words of Nejat Erdogan, Uniteks’ General Manager, the adoption of GSDCost will streamline cost planning processes, leading to more realistic pricing and improved customer service. Furthermore, it is poised to optimize production efficiencies and support the company’s digital transformation journey.
Coats Digital expressed enthusiasm in supporting Uniteks through seamless implementation and comprehensive training programs. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to embracing digital solutions for enhanced competitiveness and sustainability in the global market landscape.
