Kawader ERP — Dyeing & Finishing
Dyeing is the step in a textile chain that a general system gets most wrong, because its output is not fully known until it is finished. The lot is the unit of cost, and the shade decides where the lot can go.
What a general system gets wrong here
The dye lot is the costing unit
A recipe is mixed for a batch of a given weight, and its cost belongs to that lot. Two lots of the same colour are not interchangeable on a customer's order, so the lot has to survive on the stock record all the way to the cutting table.
A re-dye is not a rework
A shade that fails matching is corrected with a second recipe. It consumes more chemistry, takes longer, and often comes out a darker colour that is sold to somebody else. The system has to allow the output to differ from the one that was planned.
Shade bands travel with the roll
Rolls are sorted into bands because no two lots match exactly. A garment cut across two bands shows it in daylight, so the band is part of the stock identity, not a note in a quality file.
Weight in, weight out, and the loss between
Greige weight against finished weight is the yield, and the shrinkage and pick-up in between are where the price is decided. Quoted per kilo, settled per kilo, and the difference is real.
