Thai Sock Picks Coats’ FastReactPlan To Unify Systems
Thai Sock has chosen Coats Digital’s FastReactPlan to connect and consolidate capacity planning information across disparate sources into one highly visual and unified system.
By streamlining business critical information into a single digitised source, FastReactPlan will optimise data visibility across the yarn and knitting plan teams to increase production efficiencies and accelerate risk assessment and overall decision making
FastReactPlan will enable the company to effectively synchronise its yarn and knitting capacity plans so it can accurately track sock production on the factory floor, assess and mitigate challenges quickly and improve decision making.
Thai Sock is one of the leading Asian sock suppliers to well-known global brands, including Nike, Paul Smith, Converse, M&S. Charles Tyrwhitt, Oakley and Bloch, among many others. As well as socks, the company also manufactures headbands, wristbands and textured nylon and polyester yarns.
“The main challenge we faced was with planning & visibility of capacity plans across our yarn and knitting teams. We had multiple disconnected spreadsheets, which were time consuming to create and complex to compare and assess,” Alisara Vichaiwatanapanich, Deputy MD at Thai Sock said.
“FastReactPlan will enable us to greatly increase the speed and accuracy of production planning, tracking and order confirmation processes, make informed decisions effectively and ensure we can capitalise on greater demand for smaller, more complex orders,” she added.
