Li & Fung is supporting its Indian vendors through technical training and effective production systems like the lean manufacturing concept. Technical experts from Li & Fung’s Bangalore office and Hong Kong trained production team members, supervisors and operators of apparel manufacturing units and export houses at Delhi NCR.
Earlier checkers at export houses would submit a manual report but now after this training and with the use of a tab the report is online and action can be taken immediately on this report. It gives effective results as far as alteration or rejection are concerned.
Though these factories already use the best production practices the training is focused on various areas of improvement as well as minute things, besides emphasizing on energy saving.
Global trading house Li & Fung uses gadgets with specific software to provide training on the above-mentioned subjects and the initiative is expected to boost the efficiency of apparel shop floor and play a key role in increasing apparel sourcing capabilities of Li & Fung as it is associated with renowned apparel exporters of India.
Li & Fung is among the top sourcing and supply chain companies in the world. In April the company divested its three product verticals–furniture, beauty and sweaters–to simplify its business and allow senior management to focus resources on growing the core business of supply chain solutions.
