| Abstract: | The consumer market is changing very fast, from mass product to customization. Apparel market is sensitive and highly affected by fashion and seasonal change, is a typical custom market. Due to the constantly changing of demand, the garment brand supplier forces to provide wide variety of product at small quantity, to fulfill the unique customer needs. To catch the selling season, entire garment chain is working on deadline basis, all partners will be suffered if any part of the chain is failed to perform. Fabric producers, downstream supplies of garments, most of them are volume producer that reluctant to work on small order. The continuous shrinkage of order forces them to produce goods beyond optimal production quantity at high cost. With facility constraint, it leads to longer production lead time and higher defect rate. This makes downstream garment factory working at more tighten timeline to catch the season. It is understood that today battlefield is supply chain competition instead of company base. Every company has own constraint or core capability. To survive in the ever-changing market, it is necessary to reform the supply chain, leverage the core capability of each partner, to deliver more value to end customer. Subject to the fabric indigenous characteristic and facility constraint of each producer, this project target to work out a flexible manufacturing network, link up the manufacturers with different capacities, to overcome the resources limitation, thus maximize the fabric value to brand customer and consumer as well. |
