IPSA Consortium (Cariaggi)

The objective

Cariaggi lanificio spa is a top quality yarn producer in Cagli (PU, Italy), with a turnover of about 100M€ and 260 employees; its specialities are yarn made of worsted and woollen cashmere yarns, mainly for knitwear productions that sells to international top level brands (like Prada, Hermes, Ralp Laureen, Loro Piana, Calzedonia, ...).

The yarn production in Cariaggi shows a seasonal pattern and there is a period when the plant capacity is saturated and any new short-term order requires a production planning with finite capacity, even for the operations that are outsourced, and often a renegotiation of the delivery dates, depending on the needs and priorities of the market and on the company’s policies.

The objective of Cariaggi and the IPSA consortium has been, USING eBIZ, to build a tool for the interoperability of the supply-chain able to display in real time the production planning and activities at the subcontractor’s plant as they were part of the company’s information system, so to enable flexible and continuous monitoring and rescheduling of the production processes.
