The name Mysore silk is a befitting tribute to its ancestry.

They are in the business of manufacturing quality silk products of varied designs for end user consumption.

The silk Products are manufactured in their factories located in Mysore district of Karnataka state, INDIA. The silk weaving factory in Mysore, presently owned by KSIC, was established in the year 1912. What makes Mysore Silk different from other silk fabrics available in India? It is made of the finest quality of natural silk yarn obtained from cocoons reared in the old Mysore areas of Karnataka. This gives it an extra ordinary lustre, more so, a geographical flavour to the fabric. The texture of Silk Sarees is made out of 26-28 denier with high speed twist. The KSIC- Silk Weaving Factory, at Mysore has completed 100 Years during 2012 and it is the first Govt. Industry in Karnataka to celebrate Centenary Year.

The Situation

KSIC Managing Director, GM-Procurement and GM-Production realized that they needed an ERP system if they have to continue growing. Being a government organization, they need to have control on overall process and keep a track of minutest details.

They were facing lot of wastage issues. They use pure gold zaris in their saris and other silk products. Wastage of gold zaris was a huge expense for them. It was becoming difficult for them to track the wastage which was resulting in huge cost and reduced profit margins.

They were also facing problems in managing and planning their inventory. They kept on procuring the items without knowing that the items are already available in plenty in their stocks.

They were using old legacy system to manage their process and most of these were controlled manually on paper sheets and card. The management team went on the hunt for a quality ERP solution that would fit their company’s custom needs at a fair price. KSIC also required a system that would integrate well with their existing process and could bring best practices to their process.
