Increased Efficiency

“With Will and his teams support we have increased productivity per person by 50% and reduced the time to produce a garment from five days to less than one day. We have also eliminated 100% final inspection while sustaining 0% defects found during the final audit process. The impact on the sewing team members has also been dramatic as we have experienced 0% turnover in the affected areas and most impressive of all, the team members are taking on much of the daily decision making traditionally conducted by a supervisor.”
