KWGS Case Study | Assembly Build

Business Requirements and Key Pain Points

The client operates as a textile wholesaler, acquires large raw fabric sizes, and processes these through "slitting" to create various sizes for retail, striving to reduce scrap.

The client has requirements to include a seamless transformation of raw fabric into different SKUs efficiently, ensure accurate cost allocation among the output sizes, and implement effective scrap management by tracking scrap quantity and estimated costs for future decisions on selling or writing off the scrap.

From Solution Design to Seamless Implementation

Process Designed and Configuration Implemented:

• Raw Fabric as Assembly Item:

  Treated raw fabric as a purchasable assembly item.

  Set up a Bill of Material (BOM) to include each size output and scrap as components.

• Tracking Units:

  Assigned a quantity of 1 for each component in the BOM.

  Used a unit of measure (UOM) table to convert the raw fabric into the required sizes.

• Processing

  Received the raw fabric through a standard purchase order (PO).

  When slitting was done, unbuild the assembly to record the output quantities of each size and scrap.
