Product Data Management (PDM)

Data management system that integrates all aspects of manufacturing from the production to the marketing of the product.

1 of 8

Electronic Product Definition (EPD)

Software in which all the product and process data is generated once and stored electronically on a data base. Evolves as new product is developed.

2 of 8

Advantages of PDM

Organise and communicate accurate, up to date information in a data base, monitor production and enable fast, efficient and cost effective textiles manufacturing on a global scale.

Real time processing

The updating of data at the time the event is happening. includes information such as: work in progress - data about contract, customer, style, order, size, colour, bundle and delivery date & labour cost control -attended time, overtime, efficiency,

JIT Just in Time

aims to meet customer orders quickly, at the required level of quality, in the right quanitity and with minimum waste of raw materials, time and resources.
