市场洞察 | 服装行业的供应链管理

通常来说供应链包括了原材料采购、半成品生产，最终变为成品并通过分销网络将产品交付客户的过程。与食品生产或建筑材料制造不同，服装行业供应链冗长且复杂。纺织品和服装生产包括大量的加工环节，如纤维生产、纺纱、机织/针织、精加工、裁剪和缝纫，以及营销规划、批发/零售、购买和回收/处理等。

In general supply chain is a network of facilities that procure raw materials, transform them into intermediate goods and then final products and deliver the products to customers through a distribution system. Unlike value-added chains for food or building materials, supply chain of textile industry is long and complicated. Textiles and apparel include a great number of process stages, e.g. fiber production, spinning, weaving/knitting, finishing, cutting and sewing, merchandising, wholesale/retail, consumption, and disposal/recycling.

服装行业的规模巨大且至关重要，大量的服装制造商们持续为市场生产服装，其中工业流水线大规模生产的服装更多用于出口。中国、孟加拉国和印度等国都在努力向海外的服装采购商们提供更优的价格，以争取更大的市场份额。通过供应链管理的优化，您可以真正降低业务成本，以获得超越竞争对手的优势。这就是为什么供应链管理对服装行业很重要的原因。

The right solution is to optimize supply chain management, by which you can really cut down on your direct and indirect cost of business to gain an advantage over your competitors. This is the motivation behind why supply chain management is significant for the apparel industry.
