How to Implement Quick Reaction Time in Your Company?

Textile and apparel industry is one of the fastest-growing industries, employing millions of people worldwide. Therefore, it is important for organisations to make the interface between supplier & retailer as efficient as possible in order to tackle the challenges of a volatile global market. Quick reaction has become one of the core aspects of competitiveness for contemporary companies.

First, let’s understand what Quick Reaction Time means.

Quick Reaction has a great impact on the fashion industry both at the retail level and the manufacturing level. The fashion apparel industry has significantly evolved, particularly over the last 20 years. The changing dynamics of the fashion industry have forced retailers to desire low cost, flexibility in design, quality and speed to market to maintain a profitable position in the increasingly demanding market.

Today’s fashion market is highly competitive with a constant need to ‘refresh’ product ranges, which means that there is an inevitable move by many retailers to extend the number of ‘seasons’, that is, the frequency with which the entire merchandise within a store or at the manufacturer level is changed. Retailers have moved on to smaller collections to encourage customers to visit the store more frequently with the idea of Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. This has certainly put an added pressure on the manufacturers/suppliers to constantly change the collection according to the market’s demand.

In a nutshell, that’s what quick reaction is. It intends to shorten the lead time from receiving an order to delivery of the products.

Main Problems That Occur While Implementing Quick Reaction Time

Fragmented Process Chains– Process chain fragmentation occurs when critical processes aren’t managed as an integrated system. When organizations become fragmented, it requires more work to deliver value to the customer.

Production Scales– Designers must carefully consider the scale of production against the economic viability of the product. Else it becomes a wastage of money and resources.

Missing Standards of Communications Interfaces– Improper communication within the company may lead to hampering and delay in production.

Small Profit Margins– Setting the right cost and price for your product is crucial to run a profitable business.

Longer Lead Time– Longer lead time negatively affect sales and manufacturing processes, reducing lead time can improve productivity, output, and revenue.
