Garment Industry Productivity Center - Cambodia

Industry experts at the Garment Industry Productivity Center help our Cambodian clients to solve problems and to create new processes and management tools. With the support of USAID, GIPC’s engineers and advisors are an affordable and an effective source of assistance.

Consulting is conducted on a fee-for-service basis; after assessing the need and the options GIPC will offer a proposal that focuses on time and work, and outcome.

The projects are undertaken to meet the client’s needs so they take many forms, as reflected in the profiles of recent engagements described below.

Services include tailor-made expertise to solve specific problems, diagnostic assessments to identify opportunities for improvement, and the training and in-factory coaching to integrate new methods and ensure good results. They include also:
