The Challenge
Industrias Haber’s, a leading Mexican manufacturer of suits and uniforms, faced the challenge of managing the production of 130,000 garments per month efficiently. The company needed to reduce its time to market and keep its offerings cost-competitive without sacrificing quality. With increasing competition and the need to deliver orders on shorter turnaround times, Haber’s was under pressure to make its operations more cost-efficient while maintaining high standards of fit and quality.
About The Customer
Industrias Haber’s is a 100% Mexican company that designs, manufactures, and retails suits and uniforms for men and women. The company operates its own brands, including High Life, Robert’s, and Men’s Fashion, and collaborates with renowned brands such as Hugo Boss, Ermenegildo Zegna, Canali, Valentino, and Armani. With a strong presence in Mexico, the company exports to Canada, the US, and Mexico. Starting as a small family operation producing 20 suits a day, Industrias Haber’s has grown to become one of the largest suit and uniform manufacturers in Mexico, with 120 retail stores across the country.
The Solution
Industrias Haber’s partnered with Lectra to automate its patternmaking process and later decided to revamp its cutting room. The company implemented Lectra’s marker making and cut-order planning technology, combined with high-speed Vector cutting machines. This automation allowed Haber’s to reduce fabric waste by 3-4%, improve product quality by 20-25%, boost production efficiency by 10%, and cut the manufacturing process from 15 to 10 days. The new system enabled the company to compete on speed while maintaining superior quality and service. Additionally, the use of Optiplan technology allowed for simulations of different production scenarios, making the manufacturing process more flexible and agile.
