Improving Productivity and Profitability
Through a LeanSigma™ Transformation
Client
Gokaldas Exports Ltd. (GEX) is India’s largest apparel exporter. It is a “one-stop shop” for the world’s most
preferred apparel brands, including major casual and sports clothing lines. In 2008, GEX had US $250
million in sales and employed 45,000 people working in 45 factories. The company has the capacity to
produce 2.5 million garments a month. The Blackstone Group recently became a partner in GEX, which
had been an entirely family-owned business since its founding in 1970.

GEX had to improve worker productivity without adding
resources to grow profits and remain competitive in the

methodology. This included the training of three COOs – (U.S.A.-based private equity firm with
Ashwin Hinduja, Vivek Hinduja and Gaurav D. Hinduja all a majority investment stake in GEX)
of whom have undergone four weeks of lean training and have
received lean certification.
Results
Lean has become a key enabler for GEX and its future continued success in driving revenue, quality, and
profitability. While the retail-clothing sector was devastated by a global recession, GEX made significant
strides in on-time delivery, firstpass yield, and productivity—even growing sales by two percent in spite
of a dreadful economic downturn. Key improvements are helping to significantly improve its competitive
position within the industry: lead time, employee absenteeism and attrition.
