SINGAPORE and LONDON, UK – 19th March 2025 – Coats Digital is delighted to announce that Nyan Kids, a leading manufacturer of high-quality babywear has adopted Coats Digital’s GSDCost solution to revolutionise its production processes and enhance its global competitiveness. GSDCost will enable Nyan Kids to achieve precise costings, enhance efficiency and maximise its production potential. The decision to implement GSDCost marks a significant step forward for Nyan Kids in the bid to overcome a series of operational challenges, including cycle time inaccuracies, inefficiencies in Standard Minute Value (SMV) establishment, and excessive overtime costs.
Headquartered in Singapore, Nyan Kids, a subsidiary of NK Group, specialises in producing premium babywear, including children’s sleepwear, newborn bodysuits, dresses, rompers and knitwear. The company has three factories in Cambodia and employs over 4,000 workers. Nyan Kids boasts 3,500 sewing machines and produces over 3.1 million garments monthly for major brands such as Gap, Old Navy, and Carter’s.
Norman S. Sorizo, IE Supervisor, Nyan Kids, said: “Adopting GSDCost is a transformative move for Nyan Kids. The solution provides accurate and scientific benchmarks for planning and costing, which helps to significantly eliminate inefficiencies caused by manual processes. We’re confident this will lead to better productivity, competitive pricing, and stronger alignment with our customers’ expectations.”
Key challenges such as underutilisation of machinery, inaccuracies in cycle time calculations, and inefficient SMV settings have historically impacted Nyan Kids’ ability to meet tight delivery schedules. By transitioning to GSDCost, the company will harness data-driven insights to identify unnecessary motions, accurately plan production targets, and reduce wasteful practices.
Norman S. Sorizo, IE Supervisor, Nyan Kids, said: “We anticipate that the adoption of GSDCost will significantly boost efficiency rates, reduce unplanned overtime, and ensure precise production scheduling, helping us continue to maintain our commitment to high-quality output.”
Coats Digital’s GSDCost method analysis and pre-determined times solution is widely acknowledged as the de-facto international standard across the sewn products industry. The solution supports a more collaborative, transparent and sustainable supply chain, in which brands and manufacturers establish and optimise ‘International Standard Time Benchmarks’ using standard motion codes and predetermined times. This use of a common language and standards supports accurate cost prediction, fact-based negotiation, and a more efficient garment manufacturing process, while concurrently delivering on CSR commitments.
Noemi Echague, Training & Productivity Consultant, Coats Digital, said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Nyan Kids on its journey towards operational excellence. GSDCost will empower its teams with a structured approach to productivity improvement, delivering tangible benefits like enhanced efficiency, cost savings, and on-time deliveries. Nyan Kids remains committed to investing in and adopting innovative and robust fashion technology solutions and we look forward to working closely with them to ensure the company remains a leading player in the global babywear industry for years to come.”
