FBUY3000 Sourcing and Supply

Overview:  To remain competitive fashion retailers need to ensure they not only develop

commercial product, but ensure they deliver to the right place at the right time, profitably.

To achieve this, retailers must develop an effective, sustainable supply chain for each product.

Task:  You will assume the role of a Buyer for a named fashion retailer, your task is to source a new product (e.g. A printed shirt-dress from Next) and analyse the sourcing processes required to bring the product to market in a sustainable manner.

Write a report to demonstrate your understanding of your garment’s supply chain giving evidence of your research and critical analysis which will inform your sourcing decision-making processes.

 

Part one: Product Sourcing

You should include:

  • Your retailer introduction
  • Your retailer’s position within the market and target customer
  • Your retailer’s competitors
  • Your Product – include a visual picture/ spec including details such as fabrication and selling price and volume of order.
  • A SWOT analysis of 3 countries that you could source the product from (add to your appendix)
  • Critical analysis of these 3 countries, with clear reasoning as to why you chose the final country to source your product, including any advantages of any relevant trade agreements.
  • Costing sheet, including currency rate, duty rates and Vat
  • Critical path
  • Garment Care code/ washing instructions
  • Packaging considerations
  • Logistics
  • PLM discussion – how the product will be managed from design to launch, including quality management and how the retailer will communicate with the supplier.

Part Two: Sustainable Sourcing Strategies and good practice

You should include:

  • A critical analysis or your retailer’s CSR policies Vs a competitor
  • Recommendations to improve sustainable sourcing strategies including improved technologies, new sustainable fabrics, new sourcing destinations and circular fashion models.
  • Recommendations for improved efficiencies within sourcing product to help save cost in innovative ways.

 

Consider:

  • Where is the sourcing destination of your product? What are the risks and rewards?
  • Recommend an improved sourcing strategy which would optimize efficiencies across the supply chain. E.g. in terms of cost, quality management, logistics, sustainability, speed to market, reacting to sales. This could be using new technologies or systems.
  • Business models or theories to support your view (e.g. Iceberg and TBL, vertical integration and quick response). Consider how can TBL be achieved?
  • What are the current challenges on modern retail today and within the next 10 years, which may conflict with CSR principles and affect your retailers sourcing decisions?
  • Primary research from Store Visits, Industry Visits, Interviews and Questionnaires

Marking Criteria:

Grading will be in accordance with the Fashion & Textiles mark descriptors (see attached sheets) and will be based on the following:

Research – 25%

As detailed above, appropriate use of referenced primary and secondary research from a variety of academic sources such as recommended books, journals, reputable websites, industry opinion pieces and guest lecturers. Work experience may provide useful primary research discussion.

Discussion of Sourcing Procedures – 30%

Demonstrating evidence of background reading supported by your own discussion including critical analysis.

CSR critical analysis and Recommendations – 35%

Illustrating your perceptive judgement and decision-making process for the justification of your creative recommendations.

Structure – 10%

The report is written in an academic style with correct spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Late work:

It is imperative that you stick to the given deadline.  If you are unable to meet the deadline, due to e.g. illness, you may apply for an extension to the hand in date however this must be done prior to the deadline. Note that problems with information technology (loss of data, printer failure, etc.) will not be accepted as justification for an extension. It is essential you get into good and ‘safe’ habits with regard to computer work by ensuring you make regular back-ups of work and by ensuring that you do not leave printing until the last moment; note that printer queues become very large prior to assessments – inability to print work by published deadlines is not a valid reason for a coursework deadline extension.

The following penalties will be applied to late work.

  • Unauthorized late work submitted up to 14 calendar days after the published deadline will be subject to a cap of 40%; this will be noted in the tutor feedback on your work.
  • Unauthorized late work submitted more than 14 days after the deadline will receive a mark of 0%; this will be noted in the tutor feedback on your work.

Where hardcopy work is received on time, but the work is received after the deadline date and time via Turnitin, then the whole submission will incur a ‘late submission penalty’ as follows

  • Unauthorized late work submitted via Turnitin up to midnight 1 calendar day after the published Turnitin deadline will be accepted without penalty;
  • Unauthorized late work submitted via Turnitin more than 1 calendar day after the published Turnitin deadline up to 14 calendar days after the published deadline will be subject to a cap of 40% applied to the whole submission; this will be noted in the tutor feedback on your work
  • Unauthorized late work submitted via Turnitin more than 14 days after the deadline will receive a mark of 0% applied to the whole submission; this will be noted in the tutor feedback on your work.

Feedback date(s)

You will receive feedback on this project Wednesday April 22nd, 2020 (week 30)   This is in accordance with University regulations which states that you will receive written feedback within 4 weeks of the hand in date (excluding Christmas and Easter vacation weeks). Please note unforeseen circumstances such as staff illness may mean that this date must change.

Formative feedback will also be given verbally throughout the module, through e.g. group and one on one tutorial sessions providing an opportunity for questions & to gain feedback on your progress.  Ensure you take advantage of these opportunities to get the most out of this module

Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Scenario

“Mo’s Meals” is a small company, providing prep meals, the company has been in operation for the last 4 years. They have enjoyed a significant rise in orders and profit in the last two years but are now getting towards the limit of capacity for their current organizational structure and systems. They work very closely with numerous catering companies as well as supermarkets and are starting to have to turn away some orders due to their inability to supply the goods within the timescale required by clients.

Their current organization and systems have been in place since they started when the company was founded and had a total of 8 employees, they have since expanded and now employ 20 people and are looking to expand further. The Managing Director runs the production and packaging side, which employs 12 cooks and assistants. The Finance Director manages the admin side, which also includes delivery and logistics and employs 8 people who tend to perform all the required functions dependant on demand.

In the current system, the orders come into the admin section by phone and email, they are then transferred onto the company order forms which are in triplicate. The top form goes to the production section, the middle form goes to accounts and the bottom form stays in admin. Production will collect the forms as and when they have time, which can be as infrequent as once a week. They then see how the order fits in with their production schedule and mark up a wall planner with the required deadlines. The required raw materials are identified for the orders received and the delivery schedule is created. Once these procedures have been completed the order is acknowledged and a confirmation is sent by admin with a proposed delivery date to the customer by post. Accounts are then sent a costing by production for labour and materials and machine usage and the total cost of the order is again confirmed to the customer.

Once the orders start processing the production department notify admin and they contact the distribution company by phone and arrange collection and delivery of the goods to the customer. On receipt of the signed delivery note the accounts department then sends the invoice for the goods to the customer.

Task 1

Apply a range of analytical tools and techniques to the current business systems that “Mo’s Meals” currently operate. Analyze whether they are effective and efficient and suitable to sustain the company over the next 5 years.

Task 2

Following on from the analysis the existing systems currently used by “Mo’s Meals” make some recommendations as to how they can make improvements in their organizational processes and systems based upon the findings of your analysis.
