 INTRODUCTION

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Supply chain management, inventory management, and logistics management are critical

components of the fashion industry, as they are essential for ensuring that products are manufactured,

stored, and delivered to customers in a timely and efficient manner.

Supply chain management refers to the coordination and management of activities involved in the

production and distribution of products. This includes managing suppliers, logistics providers, and

retailers, as well as coordinating the movement of products from the manufacturer to the end

consumer.

Inventory management is the process of overseeing the stock levels of products, including raw

materials, work in progress, and finished goods. This involves tracking inventory levels, forecasting

demand, and ensuring that there is sufficient stock available to meet customer demand.

Distribution management is the process of managing the flow of products from the manufacturer to

the end consumer. This includes determining the optimal distribution channels, such as brick-and-

mortar stores, online marketplaces, or wholesale partnerships, and managing the logistics of product

transportation and delivery.

Logistics management involves the planning, execution, and monitoring of the movement of

products throughout the supply chain. This includes transportation, warehousing, and inventory

management, as well as coordination with suppliers and customers.

In the fashion industry, these processes are particularly important due to the fast-paced and ever-

changing nature of fashion trends. Fashion brands must be able to quickly respond to changes in

demand, while also maintaining quality and managing costs. Effective supply chain management,

inventory management, and logistics management are critical for achieving these goals and

maintaining a competitive edge in the industry.

India, with the goal of creating a market for the handcrafted products of Indian artisans. Today,

Fabindia is a popular brand that sells a wide range of products, including clothing, accessories, home

furnishings, and personal care items, all of which are made using traditional techniques and

materials. Fabindia connects over 55,000+ rural craft producers to modern metropolitan markets,

building a foundation for skilled, long-term rural employment while preserving India's traditional

crafts. Their products are natural, handcrafted, and modern. They celebrate India at Fabindia, and

strive to offer all that they admire about their country to customers all around the world, which has

made Fabindia one of the finest shopping destinations.

Fabindia is known for its commitment to sustainability and fair trade, and the company works closely

with local artisans and farmers to ensure that its products are made using environmentally friendly

and socially responsible methods. Fabindia also operates a number of rural development initiatives,

including education and healthcare programs, to support the communities that produce its products.

 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Cho, D., & Pucik, V. (2005). Supply chain management in the US fashion industry.

International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management, 35(2), 87-103.

"The fashion industry is characterized by a high level of demand uncertainty, short life cycle of

products, and high volatility of demand patterns. These characteristics lead to complexities in supply

chain management, which include increased lead times, inventory costs, and the need for flexible

production systems. The fashion industry requires a responsive and efficient supply chain to respond

to the dynamic market changes, short product life cycles, and volatile demand patterns. This requires

close coordination between different supply chain partners, including suppliers, manufacturers,

distributors, and retailers, to minimize the uncertainties and risks in the supply chain. To achieve this,

fashion firms need to adopt a collaborative approach with their supply chain partners and develop

robust supply chain management strategies that can handle the uncertainties and complexities of the

fashion industry."

Christopher, M., & Peck, H. (2003). Building the resilient supply chain. International Journal

of Logistics Management, 14(1), 1-13.

"The fashion industry has traditionally operated with relatively long and inflexible supply chains,

with little transparency or information sharing among supply chain partners. This has led to increased

risk and uncertainty in the supply chain, as well as increased inventory costs and poor customer

service. To address these issues, fashion firms need to build more resilient supply chains that are

flexible, responsive, and collaborative. This requires a shift in mindset from a focus on efficiency and

cost reduction to a focus on flexibility and risk management. Fashion firms also need to invest in

information technology and data analytics to improve visibility and transparency across the supply

chain."

Kansal, M., & Singh, S. (2018). Fabindia’s retail supply chain management: A case study.

International Journal of Applied Engineering Research, 13(3), 1747-1756.

"Fabindia's supply chain management strategy is based on a 'backward integration' approach, which

involves the company sourcing raw materials directly from artisans and weavers in rural India. This

enables the company to maintain a direct relationship with its suppliers and ensure the quality and

authenticity of its products. Fabindia also uses a 'pull-based' inventory management system, which is

driven by customer demand rather than production forecasts. This enables the company to minimize

inventory costs and reduce wastage. In terms of distribution, Fabindia operates a network of over 240

retail stores across India, as well as an online store, which enables it to reach a wide customer base.

Fabindia also uses a range of logistics providers to manage its transportation and warehousing

operations."
