Introduction: Where is Money Lost in the Light Industry?
Textile and apparel companies often operate with low margins, high competition, and volatile demand. The key sources of losses include:
- inefficient procurement management;
- overproduction and excess inventory in warehouses;
- manual order processing and logistics errors;
- lack of transparency in costing and discounts;
- data duplication across different systems.
Implementing JD Edwards allows closing these “gaps” and building a system where all processes are connected and manageable.
