Shanghai Jiale has reduced Its Standard-Minute-Values (SMVs) on core styles by over 30 per cent with Coats Digital’s GSDCost.

Following a rigorous training program from GSDCost experts, Jiale has established its own robust SMV library for core styles, which has also benefitted cost management, capacity planning, production planning, and employee payroll accounting teams across the business. Following the implementation of GSDCost, Shanghai Jiale was able to establish international standard time benchmarks based on standard motion codes and predetermined times. This enabled the sales, costing, planning and manufacturing teams to communicate efficiently using the same language, based on a scientific method for correctly analysing manufacturing costs.The success of the implementation has resulted in the solution being adopted by Jiale’s production base across Indonesia.
