The ways in which we design, make, transport and then discard
clothes has a huge social and environmental impact. This book
covers responsible business practices and sustainability in the
fashion industry from the raw fibre stage, through production, to
the point of customer consumption. The concepts of responsibility
and sustainability are fast becoming essential factors in business
decisions and Supply Chain Management and Logistics in the Global
Fashion Sector leads the reader through the multiple stages in the
supply chain that can impact on business strategy. A perfect
resource for students studying fashion and for those working in the
sector who wish to identify the latest thinking as they plan
sustainability strategies, the book is divided into four clear
sections. Part I of the book examines sustainability in the supply
chain by identifying the three pillars of sustainability (social,
economic and environmental) and considers how fashion brands are
innovating in this area. Part II looks at fashion logistics and
supply chain operations by assessing fibre, yarn and fabric
considerations, logistical issues for both garment production, and
service delivery, stock control, transportation, barriers and
risks. Part III develops the logistics theme further by identifying
recent trends and case studies that highlight agility and lean
management structures, and the application of transparency
enhancing radio frequency identification (RFID). This section
further applies modelling and simulation techniques from the
automotive and pharmaceutical industries to the fashion sector.
Part IV considers how sustainability can be embedded into the
multi-tiered fashion supply chain and its selling environment.
