This module will address the future challenges facing fashion companies with their offshore sourcing and global supply chain management strategies. The digital revolution has had a dramatic impact on the flow of information throughout the supply chain, from inventory management to the need to effectively process big data. There is increasing demand for more sustainable sources and the need to ‘green’ supply chain and logistical activities by developing environmental management systems. Increasing segmentation of the global market has resulted in a wide range of needs in outsourcing from the lean and agile requirements of the fast-fashion sector to the rapid growth of the luxury market. The module will prepare students for the industry by giving them a greater understanding of the increasing complexities of fashion retail supply chain.
