Introduction to Methods Apparel Consultancy India

Methods Apparel Consultancy. Based in Gurugram, NCR Delhi, we have been serving the Sewn Product Industries for 42 years. Our expertise includes setting up new units, re-engineering existing ones, and offering training across all management levels. We also provide software solutions for Standard Minute Value (SMV) setting and real-time tracking of various production processes.

Our Key Products:

• Pro-SMV: Establishes Ethical Standard Times, improves line balancing, monitors efficiency, and enhances production planning.

Accurate SMV is a valuable tool for both manufacturers and brands. For manufacturers, it enhances operational efficiency and profitability, while for brands, it offers cost transparency, better supply chain coordination, and informed decision-making in product development. Here is how it benefits the buyers or brands:

1. Cost Transparency: Brands and buying houses use SMV to gain a clear understanding of the cost breakdown from manufacturers. This transparency helps in negotiating fair prices and avoiding overpayment.
2. Supply Chain Efficiency: With accurate SMV data, brands can better coordinate with manufacturers to ensure timely delivery, which is crucial for meeting market demands and seasonal trends.
3. Product Development: During the design and development phase, brands can use SMV to assess the feasibility of new designs in terms of production time and cost, allowing them to make informed decisions about which products to bring to market.
4. Vendor Comparison: SMV allows brands to compare different vendors' efficiency and cost structures, enabling them to select the most suitable manufacturing partners.
5. Sustainability and Compliance: Brands focused on sustainability and ethical production can use SMV to ensure that labour practices are fair and that production processes align with their standards.

Pro-X 4.0: Our Pro-X 4.0 is a cloud-based app designed to monitor all garment production processes, offering modules for Fabric Inspection, Cutting, Sampling, Production, Quality with TLS & Audit, and Maintenance. Customers can choose complete or specific modules based on their needs.

The Sampling Module streamlines the sampling process, enhancing efficiency and collaboration. The Cutting Module improves cutting room efficiency, reduces waste, and optimizes material utilization as well as fabric reconciliation. The Production Module increases production efficiency, reduces downtime, and enhances overall quality. The Quality Modules, coupled with the Audit Module and Traffic Light System, provide real-time quality tracking and support continuous improvement. The Maintenance Module optimizes maintenance efficiency, reduces equipment downtime, and enhances preventive practices. A comprehensive Line & Management Dashboard consolidates data, enabling informed decision-making to improve processes and outcomes. In summary, each module in Pro-X 4.0 is designed to improve efficiency, reduce waste, enhance quality, and support data-driven decision-making.
