NGC today announced that Aalfs Uno, S.A. has chosen NGC’s Shop Floor
Control platform for its denim and twill manufacturing plant in
Nicaragua. Established in 1892 in Sioux City, Iowa, Aalfs is a
family-owned business that is known for its high quality standards, fast
turnaround and strong partnerships with leading brands. The company
employs 5,500 people worldwide, with company-owned manufacturing
facilities in Mexico and Nicaragua in addition to its U.S. offices.
Aalfs is committed to providing its customers with high-quality,
low-cost twill and denim. That commitment carries over to the Shop Floor
Control software they are implementing from NGC; Aalfs chose NGC’s
software, based on the depth of NGC’s solution as well as the company’s
extensive knowledge of the apparel manufacturing process.
NGC’s Shop Floor Control is a configurable system for any manufacturing
business. Shop Floor Control provides real-time labor and production
reporting throughout the entire factory network. The system optimizes
on-time completions, evaluates plant workload, determines capacity
needs, tracks employee performance, calculates complex incentive
payroll, and more. The system is available in English, Spanish and
simplified Chinese.
“Aalfs has a proud heritage of quality and innovation in apparel
manufacturing, and NGC is helping them continue that tradition by
implementing our Shop Floor Control solution,” said Mark Burstein,
president of sales, marketing and R&D, NGC Software.
