How Digital Supply Chains Enhance Transparency and Trust to Protect Your Brand
How do we ensure that every thread, every fabric, and every product not only claim to be sustainable but truly embody responsible sourcing and environmental care?
The value of a “Materials-First” philosophy resides in the certainty that the materials flowing through a supply chain exhibit an acceptable level of risk before the rest of the company is dependent on them. Doing so has been proven to minimize The Risk of Being Reactive.
Materials-First is all about engineering quality and compliance into your raw materials before they are adopted into your product line. It is, however, easier said than done. It takes organizational discipline with steadfast, top-down managerial commitment combined with an efficient process that must deliver operational excellence.
The challenge is that our industry is plagued with the seemingly incompatible balance between ‘shorter lead times with lower costs’ and ‘maximizing innovation while maintaining quality’. Not to mention the drive for design creativity that is often at odds with the realities of a continually changing supply chain!
Is it easy? No.
Is it worth it? Absolutely. Just ask our customers.
