Cutting Room Management
Cutting Room Manager does what no human being can do, it takes care of all the multitude of calculations, considerations and rules that have to be observed to run an economical cutting room. It does this flawlessly and without falter.
- Setup Marker types, table lengths, size curves, end loss and loss allowances.
- Generate Automatic marker plans to ensure optimum fabric utilisation, Minimise marking, Laying and Cutting time.
- Combine colours for linings / inter-linings and combine sizes for pocketing to plan markers for these items.
- Proportionally allocate additional fabric on orders.
- Total work in progress control.
- Establish cutting room savings by day, week, month or year to date.
- Account for every Inch/cm issued and report on fabric suppliers by quality, width, length and delivery promises.
- Step lay planning for savings on end loss and laying time.
- Compare costed consumption and establish to marker consumption and establish fabric profit or loss before authorising markers and issue of fabric.
- Automatically calculate standard times for all cutting room functions and link to Production Control to print work tickets to monitor cutting room performances.
- Manipulate lay planning to maximise garments per lay, reduce number of markers and maximise lay height.
- Automatic generation of laying up sheets.
- Fabric reconciliation, report for all fabric types, orders and year to date.
- Monitor consumption throughout large orders, calculating average marker efficiencies as the order progresses.
- Use Touch-screen, Palm top computer, or conventional laying up sheets for the recording of laying up details, giving "LIVE" fabric utilisation.
