M A Mohiemen Tanim Industrial Engineer

Dhaka, Bangladesh. Available for innovation programmes.

Eleven years measuring how factories actually run.

I am an industrial engineer. I have spent my career inside textile, apparel and leather mills, planning production, cutting utility consumption and rebuilding the systems those factories depend on. I am now building Intelactory.

Where the time went

11years
2014 to 2026
2014 to 2017

Industrial and production engineering

Entering the floor. Method study, line balancing, the measurement habits everything since has been built on.

One of Bangladesh's early e-commerce ventures. Business development, marketing and operations.

2019 to 2023

Production Planner, then Executive, Industrial and Production Engineering

Bitopi Group, Baridhi Garments Ltd., Cumilla EPZ

Built data-driven planning systems and real-time dashboards joining plant capacity, order status and resource availability. Implemented IE tools and quick changeover across sewing, cutting and finishing, and led operator skill training.

2023 to present

Head of Operations and Innovation

Textile Today Innovation Hub, Amin and Jahan Corporation Ltd.

Leading and coordinating more than twenty industrial innovation projects with factories and academic institutions. Managing Editor, TexSPACE Today.

2026, now

Founder, Intelactory

Writing eleven years of manual practice down as software.

What I keep being called in to fix

22projects, one register

The same failures, in different mills, over and over.

Every project below was scoped, run and closed by hand. What matters is not any single one of them. It is that the same failure classes kept recurring across unrelated factories, which is the point at which a problem stops being a job and starts being worth building software for.

Recurrence across the project register, 2017 to 2026.
Failure classProjects
Water, steam and energy consumption per shade depth6
Neps and yarn quality upstream of the dyehouse3
Dimensional variation: dia, GSM, shrinkage, lycra dropout3
Right first time, lab to bulk and bulk to bulk2
Denim wash defects: shrinkage and elastane breakage2
Store and inventory synchronisation2
Chemical management and wastewater, ZDHC1
Pre-consumer waste returned to fabric1
Production planning without live data1
Changeover time and operator capability1

Read the full register

I cannot publish my clients' numbers. Here is the arithmetic instead.

Every consulting figure I hold belongs to the mill that paid for it. So rather than ask you to trust a case study, put your own lot in. This is the same dyehouse arithmetic I have used on site for eleven years, and the same maths that runs inside Intelactory.

Water drawn per lot 2,400litres
At 1 : 8 2,400 L
At 1 : 5 1,500 L
Per year at this ratio, all lots 4,205 m³

Water per lot is fabric weight multiplied by the liquor ratio. Nothing more. Dropping a 300 kg lot from 1:8 to 1:5 takes 900 litres out of every batch, and the heat that went with it.

Formula: water (L) = fabric (kg) × liquor ratio. Annual figure assumes 292 working days. Check it against your own utility meter, not against me.

Why I am building Intelactory

1platform

Every mill I have worked in has the same gap. Planning, quality and sustainability reporting live in spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and somebody's memory. I have built the manual version of the fix many times: the dashboards, the SOPs, the innovation registers. It works, and it does not survive me leaving the site.

Intelactory is that fix written once, as software. Planning, production, quality, traceability and sustainability in one operating layer, built from the problems in the table above rather than from a product roadmap.

I am not the obvious person to build manufacturing software. I am the person who has already built it by hand, badly and then well, inside real factories, and who knows exactly which parts a mill will refuse to use.
