Cost savings:

Company losses 2% of its sales value in discounts, which are the result of surplus production, implementing quality management system can help to bring down excess production, as management will be assured of the quality right from the raw material itself. Supplier developer module would be useful in proper selection of suppliers, which can focus on quality, cost and delivery aspects of supplier.

Reduction in machinery downtime:

5 % machinery downtime is attributed to non-availability of raw material in the stores. This is due to absence of proper planning system and due to communication delays at every place because of information recompiling. Prompt communication coupled with effective supplier selection module and planning system would be useful in bringing down the machinery downtime.

Improvement in sales:

75 % customers place repeat orders. Three factors-price, order and delivery affect orders. Integrated system will definitely be useful on this account. Price is one of the causes of losing customers; there is ample scope for cost reduction and therefore company can offer lower prices and incentives to attract customers through integrated information management solution.

Customer satisfaction:

Current system is ineffective in tracking problems related to customers. The response regarding effectiveness falls in unsatisfactory category. Capacity planning for received order also falls in average category. Efficient capacity management system can bring down the delivery time for execution of the order and improve customer satisfaction. This management scheme can be very useful in maintaining better customer relations with prompt response and by knowing their past history. Well formulated procedures for customer dialog will be useful in having better customer relations. It takes approximately 3 days to answer any of customers queries. This period can be brought down to a day, which will have very good impact on customers perception of the oganisation.

CONCLUSION:

Thus, due to the globalisation information Technology has become a very important asset to the textile industry. With the development of the data management system for production and on-line data monitoring systems on the latest machines, the textile industry will flourish with all the glory to it.
