Under the Banyan Tree: IAF Report on Reducing Overproduction in Fashion Retail
With increasing cost pressures applied by geopolitical uncertainty and economic turmoil, retailers are being challenged to move beyond cost mitigation and unlock value creation.
While the fashion industry is structured to incentivize over-production, new approaches to supply flexibility, enabled by technology provided by Syrup, can help brands, suppliers, and manufacturers thrive.
Manufacturing 10 to only sell 3 at full price just doesn't make sense. Make more by making less.
This IAF report is sponsored by the UN and authored by famed fashion industry strategist John Thorbeck.
Inside the report:
- Practical guidance on how to align incentives across the supply chain
- Case studies on successful implementation of lead time optimization and postponement
- Details on the technologies that make this novel approach possible
- A feature on how Syrup is enabling stronger supply chain alignment with shared forecasts
