A critical element of the CCTC’s drive to upgrade firm-level efficiency is weekly coaching by Lean manufacturing experts. Building on the opportunities identified in the annual performance benchmark conducted by the CCTC at each firm, the role of these experts is to support the implementation of Lean Thinking at factory level and develop the management capacity to sustain and expand such interventions into the future. This support has been made available to the following 11 CCTC manufacturers over the three-year period 2017-2019 through the DTI-funded/IDC-administered Competitiveness Improvement Programme (CIP):

1. Cotton Traders
2. K-Way Manufacturers
3. Keedo
4. Linen Drawer
5. Pep Clothing
6. Prestige
7. Radeen Fashions
8. Rotex
9. Sheraton Textiles
10. Alligator Manufacturing (from 2019)
11. Luomo Atlantis Manufacturing (from 2019)
