Project Objectives
Equipping the Postal Workforce with Functional and Precise Uniforms
The primary objective for the Polish Postal Service was to procure a substantial quantity of high-quality work uniforms and hats. Key requirements included: 1. Extensive Sizing: Each garment type (short sleeve T-shirt, long sleeve T-shirt, polo shirt, hat) needed to be available in 36 distinct sizes (SKUs) to ensure a proper fit for all employees. 2. Custom Material Specifications: The client required specific fabric compositions, custom colors, and precise weight (GSM) for all apparel. 3. Budgetary Constraints: The project had a strict budget, necessitating cost-effective manufacturing and sourcing solutions. 4. Urgent Delivery: The order needed to be fulfilled rapidly, with a tight deadline immediately following the Chinese New Year holiday.

Challenges
Navigating Timelines, SKUs, and Customization
1. Chinese New Year Timeline: The order was placed during the critical Chinese New Year period, posing significant challenges due to factory shutdowns and reduced workforce availability, requiring meticulous planning to meet the post-holiday deadline. 2. High SKU Count: Producing 36 unique sizes for each of the four product types (T-shirts, polos, hats) resulted in a very high SKU count, with some individual sizes falling below standard Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). 3. Custom Fabric Development: The requirement for specific fabric colors, compositions, and weights meant that materials needed to be custom-developed and tested, adding complexity and lead time to the sourcing phase. 4. Cost Sensitivity: Balancing the complex customization and tight timeline with the client's limited budget required highly efficient operations and strategic cost management.

Solutions
Strategic Production and Quality Assurance
Gahumi implemented a multi-faceted approach to address the client's demanding requirements. We initiated immediate material sourcing and development for custom fabric colors, compositions, and weights, ensuring compliance with client specifications. Pre-production samples for all 36 SKUs per item were meticulously produced and submitted for client approval, confirming precise fit and quality standards. To overcome the tight timeline and high SKU volume, Gahumi optimized its production schedule by leveraging flexible manufacturing capabilities and coordinating with its supply chain partners. Special arrangements were made to manage the sub-MOQ sizes efficiently. Throughout the process, rigorous quality control measures were maintained, ensuring all 80,000+ units met the highest standards before dispatch, all managed within the client's budget.
