Abstract

The apparel supply chain today is driven by risk based forecasting and planned over production at every link and has been discussed as unsustainable. Even though number of researchers and commercial technology companies has attempted to address this issue, up until now, there was no viable alternative to this overstock, discount, and wasteful retail cycle. With the availability of digital communication, retail, and production technologies the modern consumers demand more customized and personalized apparel products that need to be supplied quickly. Considering these dynamics a team consisting of educators and technology companies is developing a demand driven virtual inventory manufacturing system for Purchase Activated Manufacturing business named AM4U. This embrace ecommerce solutions and business integration systems with latest digital technologies to color fabrics and produce apparel on demand. The team is currently developing its first Integrated Mini Factory that can demonstrate this strategy under one roof.
