Discrete / line
ERP for Garment Manufacturers
Everything is a size-colour matrix, cutting waste is decided at the marker, and end-line AQL either holds the shipment or it does not.

Your process
The stages, already mapped.
Cut-make-trim with size-set approvals. These are the stages the template ships with — machines and checks included. Yours will differ in detail; that is configuration, not development.

Who is it for
Not all garment manufacturers work the same way.
The template is the same; what it has to answer for is not. Find the one that sounds like you — if none of them do, say so on the call and we will tell you honestly whether this is the right fit.
Export garment units
Style-wise costing, size ratios and buyer-wise compliance packs.
Domestic brand manufacturers
Season-wise ranges, MRP labels and returns.
CMT & job-work stitching units
Fabric received free-issue, paid per piece.
MANUPRIME AI
Ask it about this floor, in your own words.
The AI reads the same records this template creates — so on a garment manufacturer floor the questions it can actually answer are the ones you already ask at the morning meeting.
Questions it answers here
- “Why has line efficiency moved this week?” — currently 62% in the demo data
- “Why has dhu moved this week?” — currently 4.8 in the demo data
- “Why has cut-to-ship ratio moved this week?” — currently 98.2% in the demo data
- “Where is my wastage going?” — cutting waste, seconds, costed back to the batch that caused it
- “What am I short of in the next 14 days?” — with the covering purchase order drafted for approval
And what it is not allowed to do
It shows its working, or it does not answer
It drafts. A person releases
It sees only what the person asking can see
Quality
What quality control looks like here.
Checks that hold a dispatch, at the frequency this trade actually inspects.
| Parameter | Method | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Inline defects (DHU) | Hourly line audit | Hourly |
| End-line AQL | AQL 2.5 sampling | Per lot |
| Measurement spec | Size-set check | Per size set |
Wastage and recovery
The part generic ERPs get wrong.
Most systems can only write material off. In this trade that is the difference between a costing you believe and one you argue with.
Rules that ship with this template
- Cutting waste standard by marker efficiency (target 85%)
- Seconds sold via factory outlet ledger
- Thread & trims issued against bundle tickets
What drives your cost per unit
- SAM-based labour cost per style
- Fabric consumption per marker
- Washing cost per piece
In short:Cutting waste, seconds.
Compliance
What this trade has to prove.
Configured, not bolted on afterwards — the records come out of the same transactions your floor is already entering.

Questions
Questions we get asked first.
Does it handle size and colour as a matrix?
Yes. Orders, cutting, stitching and packing all work on the size-colour grid rather than forcing one item per combination into a flat list.
Can we track cutting efficiency?
Fabric issued against garments cut gives marker efficiency per lay, so a bad marker shows up the same day rather than at month-end costing.
How is AQL inspection recorded?
Inline and end-line inspections record sample size, defects and the AQL decision. A failed lot cannot be packed without a recorded re-inspection.
