STREAMLINING THE INDUSTRY: DIGITAL SUPPLY CHAIN.

Azoulay, Julia Fein
- Abstract
This article focuses on digitized supply chains for apparel and textile production. Maintaining a digital format for the apparel and textile production supply chain makes it easier to manage, revise, customize, and modify a product line and plan restock. Digitized supply chains keep costs down, speed time to market and enable manufacturers to tailor their line to consumer preferences. Another important benefit is flexibility. The product in the early stages of the supply chain could be the design, the color, the pattern, the assortment, the fabric, the trim or later, the finished product. Being able to change quickly at any stage of the supply chain offers opportunity for increased sales. Many technology companies serving the apparel and textiles trades are focusing software that keeps everyone looped in. New Generation Computing, for example, offers a suite of software that facilitates keeping every link in the chain communicating. Pre-production, specifications, sourcing, quotes and bidding, production event management, production tracking, label and pack instructions, and packing and shipping for remote plants can all be coordinated and integrated with software developed by New Generation Computing.
