Research & Development

Viari boasts of an extremely active R&D facility with skilled craftsmen and designers. This facility is constantly in touch with internationally reputed technicians that helps us keep abreast of the latest trends from the fashion industry worldwide.

Digital tracking of production:

A system of QR coding and scanning has been put in place on our production lines which helps in monitoring deliveries, quality and efficiency.

Benefits:

• Favorable Quality KPIs from clients.
• On Time In Full (OTIF) achieved over the last 4-5 years.
• Improved efficiency resulting in cost benefits which were passed on to clients.
• We have also implemented a SAP based ERP system to monitor and streamline operations in every single department of Viari.

Manufacturing mantra:

One of the unique features of our manufacturing process is the ‘Single Piece Flow System’ which not only ensures optimum productivity but also standardization in quality systems. The ‘Cut-Assemble-Sew-Check-Pack’ routine ensures that the lag time between completion of production and the ready-to-dispatch stage is almost zero, enabling us to achieve on-time deliveries at all times.

Sourcing Expertise:

Over the last 33 years, we have fine-tuned the process of sourcing raw materials. This helps us meet every demand of our discerning clients. Whether it is high quality vegetable tanned hides from Europe and South America from LWG certified tanneries or the best fabrics and metal hardware from Italy and Asia, we have it all covered. We also make sure our products conform to all the testing norms as required by our clients and also ensure that our vendors are socially compliant as per the requirement of our clients. This helps in quick turn around times to client requirements.

Lean Management:

At Viari, we have put in place the 5S and Lean organisation method.This method of Sorting, Simplifying, Systematic Cleaning, Standardising and Sustaining increases productivity and streamlines our manufacturing process.

Workforce with a focus on Women Empowerment:

Team Viari comprises of experienced and skilled employees across all product lines and manufacturing facilities. A unique feature of our team is that most of our work force, to the extent of almost 75%, are women. Providing employment especially to women and others from less privileged sections of society has been a prime focus and a CSR initiative at Viari over the years and the results have definitely been heartening.

System Audit & Compliance:

Many of our clients have their own audit processes and terms of engagement and assess our capabilities and systems individually.
Viari has also been audited and certified by SEDEX/SMETA, an internationally accepted certification which means our new clients can directly take our products into their supply chain without having to double check on our compliance standards and manufacturing processes.

Green Initiatives:

The expanded manufacturing facility will be an LEED certified building which would mean healthier, more productive work space with reduced stress on the environment by encouraging energy and resource-efficiency. This will translate into savings from increased building value and decreased utility cost.
A proposal to generate Solar Power from the abundantly available sunlight is also on the anvil which will not only be cost efficient but also a step in eco friendly and “Green” direction.
Even in the manufacturing process we have begun moving to water based Glues, Edge painting inks, Dye solutions etc. and this in the long run will mean elimination of the health hazardous solvent based products.

Our Philosophy:

In a world of changing fashion trends, dynamic business and fast-paced client demands, we believe in never compromising on quality and brand ethos.

Closer to home

Once the ongoing expansion plans are completed by end 2024, Viari‘s capacities will increase exponentially.
