Abstract

Silver Spark Apparel Ltd. is a fully owned subsidiary of Raymonds Ltd. and produces some of the best-known apparel brands in India. The company owns and runs three apparel plants in Bengaluru. The head of the “SILVER SPARK” plant, Ashish Grover, feels that despite all the successes achieved in the past, the plant needs improvement.The production lead times were longer than required and the factory seemed to lack a smooth production flow. At this time, he met Andy Dey, a LEAN specialist. Ashish invited Andy to his factory and asked him for his opinion on improving the process using LEAN tools and techniques. After listening to the quick assessment, Ashish engaged Andy as a LEAN consultant and requested a detailed assessment of each department. Based on the assessment, Ashish plans to implement the LEAN process in the production facility.
