The Dynamics of Planning in the Footwear industry are ever changing and footwear businesses face an increasing number of challenges. In order for a Footwear business to be effective in todayâ??s difficult trading environment, it is imperative that the key planning criteria are fully understood and effectively monitored.
The elimination of quotas will invariably provide buyers with more freedom in where they place their orders. However, will, as many fear, price be the key determining factor for buyers, propelling low labour cost countries such as China, India and Vietnam as the only sources for apparel?
Most manufacturing businesses, even in low-cost countries, are increasingly faced with the problems of rising costs and competition for skilled labour. These factors are rapidly eroding any labour cost advantage and long-term survival and profitability are increasingly dependant on improvements in productivity.
Fast React are specialist providers of Planning, Sourcing and Critical Path Management solutions specifically developed for the Apparel, Textiles and Footwear sectors where tight margins and short lead-times are commonplace.
