 Manufacturing Management Sail - Garments - Upholstery  

Technical:

  • Coordination of material use, ordering and pattern cutting.

  • Consolidation and integration of project parameters within inter-related fabrication departments, regarding material design and usage to maximize profit margin and minimize wastage as far as possible, in alignment with the Materials Sourcing Strategy. (Stripes and patterns normally require high attention to detail).

  • Develop patterns with the shortest production lead-time, digitize and clean physical templates. Commercial Strategy, highest production quality, client satisfaction and best price.

  • Coordinate the approval of materials (certification and regulatory compliance) to meet performance and quality standard for client requirements during the development and production stages.

  • Manage the materials database in PLM and cross reference client orders and pattern database.

  • Work with the Production team to solve any material's related production-line issues and co-ordinate / liaise with clients therefore.

  • Incorporate sustainability initiatives into all materials and product development without compromising the material's functional requirements.
