Though we had an established plan on spread sheets etc., it was not so user friendly and to manage the plan was extremely difficult leading to a lot of fire fighting. We were looking for a system to capture the critical events and to have something which will give the glimpse of the whole plan in one window. When we saw the demo of the FastReact system, one most prominent thing we noticed was that, unlike other (planning modules in) ERP systems, this is specifically made for production planning & scheduling (for the apparel industry). The planning board is very easy to read, understand and manage. With the FastReact we don’t need computer experts to do the scheduling, just someone who follows basic planning disciplines.

We are aiming for a transparent critical path and total visibility of all orders in real time across our complicated supply chain. We have been working with FR since 2005 and I am convinced that they are the right partners to move forward with in order to achieve our supply chain goals

FastReact was surprisingly easy to install, and we have been very impressed with robustness and functionality provided by the software. Given the FastReact pedigree we expected a good planning system, but the flexibility and control provided by the FastReact Critical Path system was an unexpected bonus.

Our internal supply chain has reduced from 7 weeks to 4 weeks and will reduce by a further week in the near future. We could not have achieved this reduction without FastReact. The savings to date include 1.5M fewer garments in work in progress alone. FastReact paid for itself in a few months and will continue to add considerable value to the business.

Implementing FastReact has allowed us MUCH greater visibility of our overseas manufacturing, working collaboratively with our UK operation. Improved control through FR allowed a rapid reduction in excess costs, including a significant reduction in air freight, yet also allowed increased flexibility. We could not have achieved our recent strong business growth and ‘still maintained control’ without FR.
