SCS Industry Discussion

Quote from H&M "Demographics and geography also influence the distribution of products: high-fashion garments produced in limited quantities are sold mainly in big cities while basics are ordered in larger volumes and more widely distributed."
Rio seem to focus only on fast fashion everywhere not just in big cities which is an interesting difference between them and H&M. Rio make their basics in their Eastern European factory.
I'm not quite sure how Rio produce 40% of goods in Asia on a fast fashion model as these fashions will take many months before arrival in Europe. Something doesn't quite stack up there - probably something the examiner missed rather than something she wanted you to pick up on.
