LEAN and MCSS uniforms Goals
  • Eliminate waste in uniform process

  • Remove processes the customer will not pay extra
    for or wait longer for
  • Create pull inventory control instead of push
  • Reduce cycle time for all uniforms

Lean Solutions
  • Multi Tier approach
  • DSCP
  • Off the rack
  • Semi custom
  • Full Custom
  • Each Customer can decide by three factors
  • Price
  • Time
  • Fit / Appearance

16
LEAN off the rack
  • MCSS stores would stock a entry price point
    uniform in addition to the DSCP uniform
  • Customers could buy these off the rack and have
    them altered to fit.
  • This would be relatively inexpensive probably
    poly uniform

17
LEAN Semi Custom
  • This uniform would be semi custom
  • The manufacturer would stock a unfinished uniform
    (sleeves, hem, sides)
  • Stores would send in the order with the customers
    measurements and the manufacturer would complete
    the uniform to the size required
  • This would be a mid priced uniform

18
LEAN Custom
  • Full custom uniform
  • The store would measure the customer enter the
    order via a web application
  • The manufacturer would batch the orders and make
    them in a production run
  • Customers would wait longer and get a full custom
    uniform at a reasonable cost

19
