Abstract: As apparel and textile
companies move to outsourcing production—relinquishing direct control in favor of a more cost-effective manufacturing model—a lean
supply chain may appear to be the next logical step for further implementing cost and operational improvement. Not so, however. You can’t have a lean
supply chain without lean manufacturing. Regardless of whether you or your partners engage in production, lean manufacturing is the lean engine that drives lean
supply chain efficiencies. Accordingly, the business requirement for stability in a constantly changing demand environment motivates the fashion industry’s search for lean
supply chain management principles and practices. Intentia, in cooperation with industry experts, have written a series of thought leadership white papers on the concept of implementing lean
supply chain in the fashion industry. The second of this series, From Lean Manufacturing to Lean
Supply Chain explains how lean manufacturing relates to lean
supply chain management and where it differs and sometimes conflicts.
