Abstract

In an Apparel Manufacturing Industry and in case of factory merchandising, the role of the Sample Section is really very important. Whatever may be the quality or productivity of the production floors, the factory merchandising section will not be able to build up a good business relationship with the buyer if they fail to timely dispatch quality samples to buyers. The samples produced at the sample section, are vital parameters through which the buyers judge the highlighting performances of the factory. When they do not receive samples timely and without adequate quality, they get frustrated with the factory or with the factory merchandising team, which results to the cancellation of the orders or the declination in rewarding future orders to that factory. These can really affect the overall factory economy. The goal of these articles is to find out the Sample Section dilemma and formulate possible as well as applicable solutions, which will save the factory from loosing potential orders from renowned customers (buyers).
