Garment industry
In the garment industry a short product life cycle, with each season a new collection, is a fact and extreme flexibility in production is required to meet the preferences of the end user. It is a typical consignment business. With both fabric manufacturers, clothing manufacturers and retailers, operating in different countries, a collaborative value chain has to be established. This also includes frequent transactions, an automated supply chain and inventory at the customer site.
