that were selling best, senior Vuitton executives say. The "zero defect policy" of the car makers all problems are supposed to be corrected before cars left the factory also seemed appealing.But Vuitton's manufacturing procedures weren't conducive to such flexibility. Each factory had about 250 employees, and each worker specialized in one skill such as cutting leather and canvas; preparing, gluing and sewing it; making pockets and stitching the lining; and assembling the bag.Specialists worked on one batch of bags at a time. Half completed purses would sit on carts until someone wheeled them to the next section of the assembly line. Because craftsmen were specialized, it was nearly impossible for Vuitton to quickly switch workers from one type of handbag to another.In early 2005, Vuitton hired consultants from McKinsey to help, according to people familiar with the matter. After visiting several factories and measuring lag times between production phases, the consultants arrived at a simple conclusion: there was too much wasted time.The consultants helped Vuitton draft its Pegase plan, which the company began to roll out in factories in November 2005, these people say. The first step was to train workers to handle multiple parts of the assembly process. Gluing, stitching and finishing the edges of a pocket flap, for example, became the job of one worker, not three. To minimize wasted time, the production process for each product was divided so that each worker would need the same amount of time to complete his or her allotted tasks.Louis Vuitton to open store in BangaloreBANGALORE: Louis Vuitton, the leading name in the world of haute couture, on Tuesday said that by 2008 it would open its first store here and has plans to open additional stores in Mumbai and New Delhi.The Bangalore store would be opened at the upcoming retail project, 'UB City The Collection' here.Louis Vuitton was also considering to make a foray in Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad, Tikka Shatrujit Singh, Advisor to the Chairman, Louis Vuitton said.The French company which produces luxury leather goods, fashion accessories, pret a porter and jewellery, was looking at India as a fast emerging
