Indonesian garment manufacturer, PT. Eratex Djaja implements FastReactPlan to increase production efficiency

Having two factories in Probolinggo, Eastern Java, Eratex produces 1,000,000 pieces of woven fashion garments per month. With customers such as Ann Taylor, Polo Ralph Lauren, VF Jeanswear, Billabong, Nautica, Vans, DKNY, Express, Guess and Perry Ellis, they pride themselves on providing in-house washing and finishing to deliver a competitive service and turnaround time.

Managing pre-production activities for numerous customers with different rules is currently challenging when trying to identify priorities. Having no clear visibility can delay production when materials are late due to a late purchase orders placed with their supplier. Eratex realise this won’t be sustainable when trying to grow their business and retain a high quality service. Implementing FastReactPlan will allow Eratex’s employees to plan and track production efficiently and effectively.

Yunanto Herlaksono, Project Manager, Coats Digital said “Many businesses that I meet are still struggling with the control of pre-production activities. We tend to focus on the last few weeks chasing for material delivery to keep the factory flowing and pushing production to make sure delivery is met. Even though this is the “normal” situation for many businesses, it’s not sustainable.”
