Waste Reduction in Fabric Printing

A continuous-improvement programme cutting waste across fabric printing — with SPC keeping the gains in place long after the project closed.

The challenge

Waste in the fabric printing line was variable, hard to attribute, and the previous improvement projects didn't hold once the consultants left.

Our approach

How we structured the work, end to end.

01
Instrumented the printing line so the waste signals were measurable in near-real-time.
02
Built SPC charts against the actual process variation, not the textbook one.
03
Ran DMAIC cycles against the biggest contributors and codified the control plans.
04
Stood up continuous reporting in Power BI so the gains stay visible after the project.

The architecture

From source to insight, in one governed flow.

Outcome

What changed
Waste is down and stays down. SPC keeps the process in control, and the team sees the trend before it becomes a problem.
