Business-to-Business (B2B) manufacturing and supply chain automation companies Centric PLM, Intent 360 and Groyyo Consulting have organised a panel discussion titled ‘Latest Buyer Trends & Manufacturing Technological Advancements' exclusively for apparel manufacturers to transform the manufacturing sector with technology and standardization.
The panel discussion took place on Monday at the Crowne Plaza in Dhaka, hosted by Mr Rifath Noweid, MES expert and country director of BD at Intent 360.
The inaugural session delves deeper into how technology bridges the gap between buyers and manufacturers from the design to the pre-production stage facilitated by product lifecycle management (PLM). The use of PLM for Buyers has evolved in recent times. This session also explored the need for focused technology injections for automated, scalable and profitable apparel production to drive the pivotal shift in meeting dynamic buyer demands.
Senior Sales Director at Centric Softwares Mr Nick Wei said, “Traditionally, use of PLM started from the buyers, and now has extended to the manufacturers due to the working model have been advanced, buyers look for collaboration, agile, transparency, and PLM is a connection between buyers and suppliers.
“Some of the best manufacturers such as MAS holdings, Brandix, and Crystal have adopted PLM to improve the knot with their buyers.”
The second session on “key differentiators” witnessed a detailed case study demonstration about how Centric PLM, Intent 360 and Groyyo Consulting have innovated and changed the game for apparel manufacturing in Bangladesh.
Associate Director at Intent 360 Mr Srajan Saxena said, “Bangladesh apparel manufacturing setups need focused deep technology solutions for their automation and process re-design needs. With 7.9 per cent of global RMG trade and export volume of $45b last year, Bangladesh apparel manufacturing needs a fresh boost of technology innovations to sustain and support the rocketing business growth.”
Being part of the panel, Director of Manufacturing Excellence at Groyyo Consulting Mr Abhishek Yugal shares his thoughts, “It is time for the Bangladesh RMG market to pivot from standard process setups to impactful sustainable innovations and best practices.
