| Apparel & Footwear Sector (AFS) |
| |
| Companies in the apparel and footwear sector are constantly under pressure to deal with changing trends and shifting market conditions. Fashions change quickly, and manufacturers are expected to respond to people’s changing tastes with speed and agility. There is constant pressure to reduce time to market and reduce cost. Also, the companies can have their work spread across vast and complex value chains that are unwieldy and difficult to manage. Companies must plan and prepare for seasonal variations in demand, with very little information to go on, uncertain forecasts, etc. Any shortfalls in stock can cost them dearly and have a huge impact on revenues. |
| |
| Companies attempting to deal effectively with all these factors usually end up struggling just to plan and coordinate their activities with logistics service providers, manufacturers, contractors, agents, etc, all the time. This leaves them with no time to focus on core competencies. Full scale automation of the production of clothing and shoes is also usually not possible, and most manufacturers are unwilling to explore savings potential through such initiatives. Having branches in different countries makes coordination activities an even bigger challenge. |
