Nyan Kids, a leading Singapore-based babywear manufacturer and subsidiary of NK Group, has adopted Coats Digital’s GSDCost solution to streamline production, improve cost accuracy, and enhance global competitiveness. The move aims to tackle operational inefficiencies, including cycle time inaccuracies, inefficient Standard Minute Value (SMV) settings, and excessive overtime costs.
With three factories in Cambodia, over 4,000 workers, and 3,500 sewing machines, Nyan Kids produces more than 3.1 million garments monthly for major brands such as Gap, Old Navy, and Carter’s. The adoption of GSDCost marks a strategic step towards eliminating inefficiencies caused by manual processes.
“Adopting GSDCost is a transformative move for Nyan Kids. The solution provides accurate benchmarks for planning and costing, significantly reducing inefficiencies. We are confident this will boost productivity, improve pricing, and strengthen customer alignment,” said Norman S Sorizo, IE Supervisor, Nyan Kids.
By leveraging GSDCost, the company will gain data-driven insights to optimise production, identify unnecessary motions, and ensure precise scheduling. This transition is expected to reduce unplanned overtime, enhance efficiency, and improve overall output quality.
Coats Digital’s GSDCost is an industry-recognized solution that enables brands and manufacturers to establish 'International Standard Time Benchmarks' using predefined motion codes. It fosters a transparent, collaborative, and sustainable supply chain by supporting accurate cost predictions and data-driven negotiations.
Noemi Echague, Training & Productivity Consultant at Coats Digital, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are thrilled to support Nyan Kids in achieving operational excellence. GSDCost will empower its teams with a structured approach to productivity improvement, delivering tangible benefits such as cost savings and on-time deliveries. We look forward to working closely with Nyan Kids to ensure its continued leadership in the global babywear industry.”
