In order to earn good profits, the apparel industry must bring adequate change in its supply chain system. Managing the supply chain requires a balancing act, meeting multiple needs.
Retailers must focus on delivering high service levels, and also keep low costs so as to remain competitive. Since the supply chain involves a hefty expenditure, remodeling, or modifying their existing networks will help the business to reduce their inventory costs, and increase operating efficiencies, thereby ultimately gain more profits.
