Fabric represents 55% to 70% of total garment manufacturing cost. Cut Order Planning (COP) translates customer order size ratios into optimal marker combinations, fabric plies, and table lays. Werkora integrates marker efficiency data with real-time fabric roll inventories to eliminate end-bit waste and lower fabric costs by 3% to 6%.
In a textile factory consuming ₹5 crore worth of fabric annually, a 3% improvement in cutting room yield delivers ₹15 lakh straight to operating profit. Traditional cutting rooms rely on manual table plans that generate excessive end-bits and surplus cut pieces that never get packed.
Werkora evaluates order quantities across sizes, maximum cutting table lengths, and fabric ply limits to calculate the mathematical combination of markers that minimizes total linear meter consumption while producing exact cut-to-pack ratios.
The system matches lay lengths against specific roll lengths in stock. When a roll has 42 meters and a lay requires 10 meters, the system schedules 4 plies and assigns the 2-meter remnant to a short-ply marker, eliminating unrecorded floor scrap.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
