A summer teaser. Everyone talks about speed…
What holds you back from becoming faster? Well, yes… endless color development cycles and bad color matching efficiency in both lab processes and bulk production.
Leading supply chains experience another reality. Their designer’s ideas go straight from the drawing board to production. This gives them 4-6 weeks reduced color development and up to 70% savings on fewer re-dyeing and physical submissions.
Their secret? They have transformed their bosses into leaders and changed from the old way of thinking to the new way:
| Bosses & The old way of thinking Implement fear Says “I” Uses people |
| Leaders & The new way of thinking Generates enthusiasm Says “we” Develops people |
Working close with your supply chain partners is a crucial part in realizing a designer’s idea to get the colors right. Sounds reasonable? So now what?
On-line systems + On-site training = An ultrafast supply chain
Island solutions in supply chains are limited in what they can achieve, but when they are linked together the outcome is a powerful change.
Advanced digital color technology and know-how has made it possible for all supply chain partners to connect and transition to a smart color supply chain.
A corner stone is training and supporting your supply chain. We asked natific’s auditors what they see as the most crucial for a mill to be able to control. This is what they said…
Train your mill to control the following and they will be the dye house of the century. In other words, they will be very very very good.
- H2O2 bleaching
- R/C
- Wet-on-wet
- Thermo-migration
- Metamerism
- Fastness
- Color centered over the digital standard
What does this mean and how can you collaborate with your mill to control this? We will be back with details and action steps during the fall.
Until then, happy summer!
Sincerely,
your natific team
