The 2030 Supply Chain Vision
Goals of Summit: Plan development for pilot of Supply Chain 2030 Vision/Eco Fashion Park to meet industry needs.
What:
- To revolutionize the manufacturing process of the fashion industry, with On-Shore Manufacturers, Academia, NGO's, and Interest Groups working together to create a shared vision with Global Manufactures, Advanced Machine Manufactures, Banks/Funds and Brands/Retailers working together on a shared profitability model across the supply network, with dynamic optimization to service real time consumer demand.
Why:
- Today inventories are overflowing and billions of dollars of clothing waste per year.
- Markdowns cost retailers.
- Waste is a huge problem: 92 million tons of textiles waste is created each year. Only 15% of material used for clothing ends up being recycled.
- To create a sustainable manufacturing process.
- Governments introducing litigation and legislation.
Forecasted Outcome:
- Program profitability via 100% full price sell through, reduced waste, and optimized inventory.
