Track and analyze key cost drivers, operational efficiency metrics, and quality indicators across textile and leather goods manufacturing operations to identify cost optimization opportunities and maintain production standards.
Report Objective
Monitor and evaluate quarterly manufacturing costs, production efficiency, and quality metrics for textile and leather goods operations. Identify trends in material costs, labor productivity, and waste reduction while maintaining quality standards. Focus on cost per unit metrics, operational efficiency, and quality indicators to support strategic decision-making.
