The planning boards with Fastreact Evolution provide immediate visibility of the status of all orders, allowing the planners to monitor the load that these orders place on each supplier compared to planned capacity. The software also gives Simon Jersey remote supplier collaboration that is the ability to automatically email suppliers who can then respond quickly and efficiently with updates.
Fastreact has given Simon Jersey the opportunity to improve the management of its suppliers by understanding their available capacity at any point in time and use this information to reduce lead times for delivery. In addition, the new product development process is now managed through Fastreact critical path enabling the business to monitor events more closely and identify quickly when tasks have not been completed or are completed late and the impact this will have on its suppliers to meet the required delivery date.
"Fastreact is giving us increased visibility of our supply chain and the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to issues. We are anticipating that Fastreact will reduce our supply lead times by 40% and that this will have a similar effect on our stock holding. The ability to schedule exceptional demand quickly and have a clear understanding of any additional costs incurred can only be of benefit to our customers and the business in the future". Colette Parry, Supply Chain Manager.
Andrew Brown, Managing Director, Fast React Systems comments "We understand the garment industry at a ground level and have consequently built very flexible planning solutions, which meet the needs of a wide variety of garment businesses.
