Introduction
Planning and coordinating textile production through the various processes of fabric production (knitting/weaving), dye house and numerous finishing operations means that manufacture has to be tightly controlled.
In a business that typically operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, bottlenecks occur and options are limited. Managing capacity and inventory is often a challenge due to the seasonal and spiked nature of customer demand.
The textile sector has so far managed all this complexity using spread sheets and manual methods, very little else exists other than a few, short term machine schedulers that only look a few days ahead. Align provides a much needed alternative.
