Ever since the “fast fashion” model emerged two decades ago, supply chains have become a key driver of success for apparel companies. Today, they are more strategically important than ever before, due to the added pressures brought about by several trends.
Leading fashion retailers are building a competitive advantage by redesigning and adapting their supply chains to best meet their individual strategies. This approach delivers—among other benefits—significantly reduced production costs by cutting development, manufacturing, and logistics costs. It also reduces the amount of time it takes a company to move from concept development to in-store placement.
Fashion Retail Supply Chain Best Practices training course is intended to introduce the delegates to the vital challenges facing logisticians in managing an increasingly complicated fashion retail supply chain. SCM issues especially in retailing area, the course covers international sourcing, merchandising, planning and forecasting, business models, operating strategies, and design distribution models.
