The apparel industry stands out as one of the most globalized industries in the world and it is a supply driven commodity chain led by a combination of retailers, contractors, subcontractors, merchandisers, buyers, and suppliers; each plays an important role in a network of supply chains that spans from fibers to yarn, to fabrics, to accessories, to garments, to trading, and to marketing. So Apparel Supply Chain is denoted as a system with the full range of activities that are required to bring a cloth from conception (i.e. product design and development), through the different phases of production (i.e. the physical transformation of raw materials to finished product outputs), delivery to final consumers (i.e. sales and distribution), and final disposal after use (i.e. consumption / recycling).

In maximum case apparel manufacturing organization is harassed to make the downy supply chain in order to deliver garments to the buyer on time as well as gain the profit margin by reducing unnecessary waste from chain. In this regard depth knowledge on Apparel Supply Chain will help an individual, a firm or a country to analyze and identify its core competencies. An individual, a firm or a country can also plan holistically on an industry by locating what to do and what not to do. Clear understanding of the complexities of Apparel Supply Chain would build confidence among the people working in different stages of the supply chain. And this would help the whole sector grow together by maintaining harmony reducing risk.
