As industry attitudes and consumer behaviors change, so does the challenge of sustaining a business in the fashion industry. Despite new industry dynamics, fashion companies big and small still can turn these challenges into channels of transformation.

Food, beverage, and other consumer packaged goods (CPGs) manufacturers are keenly aware that food quality issues often result in costly recalls, missed sales, and lost customers. What manufacturers need to be mindful of is that the definition of high quality is not limited to the taste and texture of the product. Quality affects virtually every corner of a manufacturing company, and when the quality of processes suffers, so ultimately does the finished product—whether it’s the result of poor scheduling, labeling errors, or inadequate equipment management. When an entire organization embraces a culture of quality and integrates that into its core competencies, a true transformation happens. The organization stops trying to prevent quality-related issues from happening, and instead focuses on building its reputation on quality. Following are several critical areas manufacturers can focus on to take a more holistic approach to quality

It’s no secret that the fashion industry is one of the most waste producing and polluting industries in the world, but did you know that all efforts towards sustainability only made very little progress over the last few years? Emissions are still going up, circularity remains elusive, next-gen textiles have yet to scale, and countless garment workers are going hungry, reports Vogue Business. Still, many brands claim to be sustainable, ethical, or climate neutral but are they really? Can they prove it? Or is it all just greenwashing?

Successful manufacturers have weathered a series of tectonic shifts in operations with the continued introduction of new technology and optimised processes, but none have amassed the transformative power of Industry 4.0.

As customer demands continue to evolve in a challenging landscape, applying a human touch with the use of technology will be crucial for distributors to build a responsive and comprehensive customer experience, not simply customer service.
