Garment Supply Chain Management Based on Product Life Cycle

Abstract

Garment supply chain management covers all the nodes of the enterprises, from fabric to end customers, with the purpose of better meeting customer needs, reducing the operation cost of the whole supply chain, and improving corporate efficiency. Garment products have the characteristics of multiple varieties, small batches, fast product update, and the bullwhip effect is obvious. The whole life cycle of clothing covers a series of links such as garment design, garment manufacturing, garment sales and after-sales service, and the whole process is considered and managed as a whole. From a systematic point of view, the concept of product life cycle is adopted to manage the clothing supply chain and achieve the coordinated management among enterprises in the chain, which can better solve the problems of information asymmetry and high inventory of clothing enterprises.
