Sportswear and Outdoor Clothing Quality Management

Quality management challenges

There is not an endless supply of skilled factories for certain lines of products or techniques

Technical know-how is a valuable asset that needs to be developed and protected, generating sourcing risks

The acute impact of seasonality for collections, and of the weather on specific products e.g. skiwear, requiring you to receive the right product at the right time

Distribution to global markets requires products that are compliant with each country's safety and security standards

Brands are exposed to customs, authorities, NGOs (e.g. Greenpeace Detox campaign), consumer associations, etc.

Consumers expect the products they buy to be non-toxic, durable, and harmless to the environment
