Project Objectives

We operate at the luxury end of the sector and over time our work has become more bespoke to cater for the expectations of a demanding clientele.  This has created a top-heavy production process with increased processes and staffing before a piece of fabric is cut.  We use a production database to process orders and a CAD system for pattern production.

The prime questions for this internship project are:

Are we using the software to their fullest extent?

Can we streamline our processes from order receipt to garment production?
