“A supply chain consists of all stages involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request. The supply chain not only includes the manufacturer and suppliers, but also transporters, warehouses, retailers and customers themselves.” This course will use this framework to link these concepts to the apparel, footwear and accessories markets also known as the “fashion industry.” Learners will look at how products are created from the design concept to the consumer while paying particular attention to the relationship between various departments (design, production, sourcing, costing) within an individual organization.
