Leadtec is a real-time production control system that provides powerful

comprehensive plant management system available, Leadtec increases
productivity by automating payroll, controlling work-in-progress, and
improving supervisor and management effectiveness. The results are
improvements in quality, customer service, employee morale, and
increased profits. The Leadtec Shop Floor Control system is more than
just software – it utilizes a special operator terminal to track the
operator’s time, as well as productivity. An operator starts the day by
swiping an ID card through the terminal, which effectively starts the
clock for the day. As each bundle is worked, the bundle-tracking card is
swiped through the same terminal allowing the system to capture how many
units, by what operation, and completed by whom.

years experience in sewn products operations, business, and product
marketing, and technology implementation to provide actionable advice
and measurable results for a global client base. For many companies,
charting and maintaining a course is harder than anytime in recent
history. Small and mid-size companies with innovative products and
services find it difficult to grow in a market where large competitors
enjoy brand recognition, efficient global operations, and technological
advantages. Large companies are challenged to develop their value
proposition for new market segments and geographic locations while
maintaining their relevance in existing markets. Strategies that once
worked no longer produce desired results.
