Manufacturing
Processes, costs, quality control, factory technology and the decisions behind getting clothing made.
Manufacturing is where a design becomes a liability or a product. This section covers the production sequence stage by stage, where cost actually accumulates, what quality control can and cannot catch, and how factory technology changes the economics of an order.
Processes and production
The sequence from approved sample to shipped order.
Process pages are being written to the platform standard: each step is described so that a buyer can hold a supplier to it, with sources for any figure quoted.
Cost
How garment cost is built up, and which parts of it move.
