This system assures compliance with defined environmental criteria and requirements in all relevant production steps within complete supply chain by auditing, documentation and evaluation of all materials and processes in use. The eco-monitoring system is based on a Begin-of-Pipe System, which evaluates and verifies the fulfillment of the requirements in all relevant steps of supply chain correcting and improving the errors at its point of origin. The definition of supply chain is a backward chain of production beginning from fiber cultivation to spinning, fabric, processing, CMT, packaging, storage, transport up-to the Point of Sale. In terms of environmental requirements, this system covers all processes and input products allowing an immediate weak-point analysis and offering the necessary assistance whenever corrective actions are needed to reach a Cleaner Production (CP). Practically fulfilling and verifying the environmental requirements (of national and international legislation & customer specific requirements) in a complete production chain helps the apparel manufacturers to massively reduce inspection and testing at the end stage of the finished product. This system gives both producers and buyers added value, green production, cost saving and environmental improvement on sustainable basis. Benefits • Cost savings to producers and buyers through good compliance
management practice This system assures compliance with social, health & safety requirements by pre-assessment, auditing, evaluation and installation of improvement and optimization plans on a sustainable basis. The system provides a complete guidance in the form of suggestions to fulfill the requirements and defines the corrective action plans in the areas of non-conformities. The audit is aimed to check the implementation of measures, corrective actions and optimizations. Optimization plans for corrective actions and improvements with time frames are monitored on continuous basis. Rating of performance is provided. An independent and neutral complaint and grievance facility for the workers is included in the monitoring system. Benefits • Cost savings to producers and buyers through good compliance
management practice This system assures compliance with quality requirements of individual buyers and producers. The quality criteria are defined according to the requirements of different product groups. Like Eco-Monitoring system, this system is based on the principle of Begin-of-Pipe System which allows the producers to screen out all core components, materials and processes in use in backward supply chain and it allows to verify the implementation of measures right in the beginning in all materials and components to fulfil the defined quality requirements as per customer’s demand. This system provides a practical and pragmatic management approach in optimization of quality processes as well as systematic documentation of whole process. This begin-of-pipe approach with a management platform leads compliance to quality requirements and quality standard on a sustainable basis. While managing and maintaining the quality requirements in various components and materials used in production chain at early stage leads the producers in making quality testing of only relevant criteria and avoids unnecessary and irrelevant quality testing. This system also helps the producers in integrating ecological criteria and requirements in the same processes. Managing the quality requirements in all steps of the production chain
and reducing the testing only to relevant quality criteria results in
reduction of the cost and time loss. Checking and fulfilling the quality
criteria at early stage of production with complete documentation results
in reduction of inspections at final product and thus cost saving. This
brings the quality inspection cost for the business parties from 100
& 10 dollars down to 1 dollar. Integrated Management System - A global solution CSM 2000 is an integrated performance management system (Compliance
& Supply Chain Management System) covering requirements of quality,
environment, social responsibility and occupational health & safety
(OHS) into one single system. This system gives apparel/textile manufacturers
and suppliers a practical tool to prove and communicate compliance with
all defined requirements within quality assurance, environmental performance,
social accountability and OHS in the entire supply chain. This system
gives apparel buyers on the international level the overall security
that all requirements on quality, environment, social responsibility
and ethical values are well understood and met by their suppliers. Benefits • Cost savings to producers and buyers through good compliance
