The challenges for the Apparel Industry include increased global competition, the need to
target new markets and create new revenue streams, customer demands
for more innovative products, and pressures to reduce new product
development costs.
In order to respond to these pressures, companies in the fashion industry are
looking to differentiate themselves and create a competitive advantage by:
- Aligning and coordinating design, procurement, and suppliers early in
the design process to accelerate time-consuming product sample review
iterations and placement decisions.
- Standardizing product development procedures on an enterprisewide
basis.
- Establishing common metrics and procedures for measuring product
development milestones and performance.
- Improving the ability to capture and align industry trends, product
features, and customer requirements with aftermarket performance data
to support seasonal product line planning decisions.
- Creating an information infrastructure that automates and integrates
product data, business processes, and development workflows across the
product life cycle.
