G.S.D.

General Sewing Data
The Worldwide Industry Leader in Standard Data and Methods Engineering

GSD - General Sewing Data - is the ultimate in standard data. 
GSD is so effective, the system is the accepted international standard for methods - time measurement for the needle industry. 

In the sewn-products industry, some 80% of the cost is committed at the design sampling stage. GSD gives your facility a costing tool that allows you to accurately predict the best known methods of manufacturing prior to production. The system provides for the management of all operation standards and the basis of rapid labor cost estimating. 

GSD creates a "discipline" for your facility – a common standard language for engineering, pre-costing, and productivity applicable to every phase of your operation. 
The Result: Unsurpassed accuracy, efficiency and cost savings.
 
Cost Benefits That Begin Immediately 
For hundreds of clients, GSD has delivered immediate productivity improvement and cost savings. Our results show: 
Productivity improvement averaging a substantial, measurable of the direct labor payroll. 
Return of investment: six to eight month, based on a 100-operator plant Enhanced engineering productivity with same or reduced staffing Improved pre costing through GSD's unique "skeleton" costing process
Independent industry tests have proven in hundreds of scenarios: 

With GSD, pay back begins immediately.

Simplicity and Accuracy with GSD 

GSD is a computerized standard data system developed specifically for the sewn-products industry. The statistically validated elemental codes, constructed from a unique MTM™ (Methods Time Measurement) CORE DATA, represents a simple, universal language which is easy to learn and communicate. 

The same simple codes can be fine-tuned to meet with any level of engineered methods, thus ensuring fast, consistent application with MTM-level accuracy. This is true whether the system is used in high-fashion or large volume/repetitive manufacturing environments. 
 

Payback in Six Month …. Or Less 

Used as a predictive management tool, GSD provides the "Just in Time" (JIT) technology so critical in today's highly charged manufacturing environment. 
In case after case, GSD has helped facilities realize payback/return on investment (ROI) as soon as the system is installed. In fact, GSD's cost  - savings have been measured up to 26 percent. (Realization of a six-month payback requires only a three-percent saving in direct labor payroll.) An intangible benefit is the "awareness" that management, supervisors and operators gain due to changes in design, material, volume, technique and quality, all of which can be quantified in the GSD specification. 

GSD Delivers: 
  

Substantial time reduction for style costing and style introduction.    Rapid quantification of changes in design, materials, volume, technique and quality. 
Improvement in overall consistency rates.    Reduction of off-standard/average payments. 
Evaluation and justification of new equipment methods.    Setting and pre-engineering of consistent and accurate rates. 
Elimination of lost business caused by overpricing of jobs.    Elimination of lost income caused by underpricing of jobs. 
Overall management of manufacturing standards data base.   Data transfer capabilities to other systems. 
Efficiency of operator training via method specification.    Reduction of clerical time. 
GSD: Ultimate Costing System 

Efficient methods, accurate labor standards and preseason style costing are fundamental to the success of a sewn-products facility. 
GSD provides fast, accurate rates in a fraction of the time compared with other systems. For every facility and style change option, GSD allows pre-costing of various stages of manufacturing. The system provides reliable, measurable information on: 
  

Optimum Standard Allowed Minute values 
Production-run efficiency (overall & component) 
Costing per style 
Performance related indices 
"Right the First Time" Technology

GSD allows your facility to manage and manipulate data and obtain "right the first time" decisions for any phase of a production run. 
The system is also exceptionally easy to use – with no loss of accuracy. 
 
  

Further  Benefits of 
GSD: 
Customization – GSD is designed to "talk the language" of your production facility, regardless of size, product type or production configuration. Each GSD installation is tailored to the needs and specifications of the facility. 

Flexibility - GSD was designed to accommodate the unique production requirements of each sewn product facility. Installation of the system includes free adjustment of menus, result and printout configurations. There is no limit to the number or complexity of changes. 

Modem support - GSD was one of the first companies in the industry to provide a " help desk", the modem support package, online help. These communication features permit modifications of the program, renewals and assistance by modem, internet, and telephone.

THE SYSTEM

 

GSD graphics technology allows in-progress job analysis and costing of component parts and workplace activities. 
 

Graphics, MPG and AVI compatible - GSD interfaces with Autocad (®) and Autosketch (®) as well as with any graphic Program that can produce "Bitmap" or WMF files, in order to produce work place layouts, part enlargements, quality specifications and style profiles.
In addition, GSD can save MPG and AVI movies of operations for future reference

Production-responsive - The Quick Response "style" environment demands that sewn-products technology match the pace of today's frantically changing production runs. GSD allows your facility company to anticipate, test and respond to hundreds of production  variations - and to pre-engineer and pre-cost each variation with unequaled accuracy. 
 

Networking - The system allows sharing of information throughout a facility: Engineers, costing, management and the production-line can access for same information at the same time. 

Computer-Integrated Manufacturing - GSD interfaces with other technology, including shop floor control systems, Unit Production Systems and company mainframes, making GSD ideal for current and future CIM scenarios. 

Add-On Modules - optional modules which interact with the GSD data base address cutting and spreading activities, capacity planning and ticket printing 
 

Operator Training - GSD believes that the optimization of the operator is the key to superior productivity. The GSD method specification is the first means of communication. The G.O.L.D.Bar System (General Operator Learning Data) option helps improve work efficiency by projecting training time for new, transferred or retrained workers. Adaptable to client data base. 
 

Languages - GSD is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Potuguese, Russian, Arabic and Hebrew, a feature invaluable to 807 and offshore contractors.
