Delta Galil Implements PTC®'s FlexPLM™ Solution

Israel-based apparel manufacturer Delta Galil Ltd. has selected Needham, Mass.-based Parametric Technology Corp.’s (PTC®’s) FlexPLM™ (product lifecycle management) Web-based solution for retail, footwear and apparel for implementation across its manufacturing enterprise. Delta Galil — which employs 10,500 associates at locations in North and Central America, Europe, Africa and Asia — will implement the solution in order to cut lead time and optimize product development efficiency across all locations.

FlexPLM offers a central product repository through which product information may be shared and controlled, calendar management and event tracking, streamlined process management and approval routings, and view and mark-up capabilities via computer-aided design tools, among other features.

“Since Delta became a more global-focused company, there was a growing need in managing the complete product lifecycle from concept through to the consumer,” said Avi Pinhas, CIO, Delta Galil. “We needed to reduce the development time and automate processes to cut the lead time. In parallel, we wanted to improve and better control the extended supply chain, thus making it more transparent.”

Pinhas added that the company expects FlexPLM to improve collaboration with customers; help to increase product margins; and improve data accuracy, product quality and operational efficiency. PTC’s Global Service Organization will assist Delta Galil in implementing the solution and customize it to meet specific customer needs.
