QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH focused on delivering in-depth industry insights through critical thinking applied to the latest production and manufacturing concepts from advanced industries and evaluating their applicability to the apparel and garment sector. This approach combines structured interviews, an understanding of human experiences, and rigorous production data analysis to identify meaningful patterns and trends. These insights are then validated through practical experiments to establish proof of concept across process and organizational improvement initiatives, total quality management practices, the introduction of advanced manufacturing concepts, and operational waste reduction. The research also emphasizes understanding human challenges, skill gaps, and organizational development opportunities, ultimately enabling skill enhancement, process optimization, and sustained profitability within the industry.
Goal alignment is the process of ensuring that the goals of individuals and separate departments are clearly connected and aligned with the overall objectives of the organization. When everyone works toward a shared common goal, it not only enhances efficiency and productivity but also strengthens unity and collaboration across teams. This alignment brings greater clarity, sharper focus, improved cooperation among members, and stronger motivation within the workforce. According to the principles of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), each department typically concentrates on achieving its own departmental targets. However, in many organizations, this can lead to interdepartmental competition, where teams prioritize their own interests rather than the company’s overall objective. For example, the sales department may emphasize customer satisfaction through shorter lead times and lower costs, while production may prefer more comfortable lead times, larger batch sizes, and repeated styles for operational ease. Developing decision-making reports that objectively evaluate both perspectives and align them with the organization’s common goal enables better strategic alignment and smoother overall functioning.
Industry 4.0: At IGAIT, we have developed solutions to digitize operations through video recording, which leads to more accurate target setting and improved planning. Digital OB charts for sewing, cutting, finishing, and washing contribute to better planning, enhanced capacity utilization, and stronger decision-making through structured reports. When OB charts are digitally shared and discussed, they support improved achievement of production targets. Digital OB is particularly beneficial in finishing, cutting, and washing operations. Once digitized, the data can be easily shared across multiple locations, fostering stronger team collaboration and helping uncover hidden capacities within the organization.
TOC solutions help identify hidden capacities within factories, and many organizations have reported capacity improvements ranging from 20% to 50%. Lead times have been reduced by nearly half, and inventory levels have significantly decreased as a result of applying these principles. At IGAIT, we conduct pilot studies to uncover hidden capacities and enhance output by 20% to 50% through structured implementation of TOC methodologies. If you are interested in conducting a pilot study, please connect with us to explore the opportunity.
