Fakir Fashion Limited, one of Bangladesh’s largest vertically integrated garment manufacturers, has implemented Coats Digital’s GSDCost solution to standardise production, enhance cost management, and optimise resources.
Based in Narayanganj, Fakir Fashion produces 300,000 garments daily with over 18,000 employees. It supplies top global brands like H&M, Zara, Guess, and Tom Tailor and has earned accolades such as Best Supplier in Bangladesh by Inditex and Top Global Supplier by Esprit.
Despite its advanced infrastructure, Fakir Fashion faced challenges like inconsistent Standard Minute Values (SMVs), skill gaps, and reliance on manual Excel-based processes. GSDCost will help streamline operations, improve cost accuracy, and reduce inefficiencies.
Managing Director Fakir Kamruzzaman Nahid stated: “As a leading supplier, we continuously invest in innovation to enhance efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability. GSDCost will standardise our processes, minimise manual dependency, and improve cost predictions, reinforcing our commitment to excellence.”
Coats Digital’s GSDCost solution provides scientifically validated time benchmarks to optimise production, improve line balancing, and cut inefficiencies. Fakir Fashion anticipates at least a 2 per cent productivity boost in the initial phase, alongside cost savings and reduced overtime.
Md Anisur Rahman Bhuiyan, Senior Sales Manager at Coats Digital, welcomed Fakir Fashion’s adoption of GSDCost, emphasizing its role in enhancing efficiency and competitiveness in the apparel sector.
Fakir Fashion plans to integrate GSDCost with its ERP system to enable real-time data insights, ensuring better decision-making and operational transparency. This investment aligns with the company’s strategy to adopt sustainable, tech-driven solutions that support growth while maintaining quality and cost efficiency.
