Book Description
Fashion Supply Chain Management (FSCM) is an important topic in the modern fashion industry. In addition to the traditional functions of logistics management in fashion companies, which include inventory management, transportation management, and facility control, FSCM places a strong emphasis on collaboration and partnership among channel members along the fashion supply chain. Obviously, FSCM provides a very strong area for establishing a competitive edge for fashion companies. Fashion Supply Chain Management: Industry and Business Analysis focuses on reporting both quantitative research on FSCM and exploratory studies on emerging supply chain management issues in the fashion industry. This reference will help both academicians and practitioners understand more about the latest development and solution schemes in FSCM, as it is a pioneering text which reports many important research results in quantitative FSCM.
Editorial Reviews
Review
The fashion and textiles industry is an ever-green global industry. Without controversy, it is always among the top three most important industries in the world. […] It is therefore gratifying to see Jason focusing his volume on fashion supply chain management with an emphasis on quantitative research and exploratory studies on various timely issues in the fashion industry. The featured articles cover nearly all aspects of the fashion supply chains and offer many innovative solutions and significant findings. I am sure that this handbook will stimulate new research and industrial analysis on fashion supply chain management and readers will find it a valuable text on this important subject. –Professor Xiao-Ming Tao, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
