Finding the manufacturing sweet spot in an expensive economy. Local production can be competitive for high-margin fashion products and they can provide a foundation for a responsive supply chain. Producing locally also enables greatly improved sustainability and increases potential for innovation.
When to produce locally and invest into manufacturing flexibility? How to make a competitive strategy for local manufacturing? What are the sustainability benefits and how to make use of the innovation opportunities? These questions will be addressed by this talk. We will make a case for faster, more sustainable and profitable future garment supply chains.
