More information regarding Bonneterie's Success Story using PPS
Company Background
Bonneterie, a Brazilian luxury knitwear manufacturer, is renowned for its timeless, high-quality garments that blend comfort, durability, and classic style. Their wide product range, from elegant knitwear to versatile basics, sets them apart from competitors. Their craftsmanship and customer satisfaction have earned them a strong reputation.
Challenge
As Bonneterie expanded, the company faced operational inefficiencies. Machine operators relied on
manual notes for production and yarn management, leading to frequent miscommunication, errors, and increased setup times. With operators managing
multiple machines, tracking production was time-
consuming and prone to human error. As a result, downtime increased, and productivity decreased.
Solution
Bonneterie implemented the PPS alongside their ERP system to streamline and digitalize production processes. PPS provided real-time insights and automation, eliminating the need for manual notes, improving organization, and enhancing operational efficiency.
Results
- Improved Organization: PPS replaced manual inputs, organizing production data in real time. Operators no longer needed to walk around as much or take notes; they could view production data directly on their screens, allowing them to better manage timelines and machine assignments.
- Efficiency Gains: The PPS led to a 20 % increase in efficiency. Operators now manage more machines with ease, and reduced setup time and errors contributed to a significant productivity boost.
- Data-Driven Control: PPS offered comprehensive reports on key machine and production data at both the micro and macro levels, helping Bonneterie pinpoint inefficiencies and identify stop causes.
- Data-Driven Planning: Access to historical data improved decision-making and planning.
- Streamlined Production: With better timeline management, the system reduced stockpiling and aligned production more closely with demand. The system tracks when machines are running out of tickets, allowing for better workflow management.
Impact
Bonneterie saw remarkable improvements in production efficiency, organization, and overall control.
Real-time data and in-depth reporting transformed their operational approach, enabling faster decisions and reducing delays. PPS gave the company remote access to production data, empowering operators and managers to oversee the entire process from anywhere. The support and collaboration with STOLL have further empowered Bonneterie to continue delivering high-
quality knitwear with precision and confidence.
