Overview
An end-to-end value-chain study: tracing a fashion business from raw fibre and supplier tier through manufacturing, distribution, retail and post-sale — and flagging where margin, sustainability and brand value are actually created or lost.
Context
Brands tend to talk sustainability at the marketing layer, but the leverage sits much earlier. The brief was to find and name those real intervention points — supplier selection, MOQ design, transport mode, packaging spec.
Approach
- 01
Mapped primary and support activities across the chain.
- 02
Identified margin-killing handovers and overproduction risks.
- 03
Proposed concrete interventions: supplier consolidation, batch sizing, take-back loops.
Outcome
→ An end-to-end value-chain diagnosis with concrete intervention points: supplier consolidation, batch sizing, take-back loops.
