In today’s competitive apparel industry, the product development lifecycle—from concept to finished garments—often takes longer than necessary, with a significant amount of time consumed in the development process up to customer approval. Buyers face constant pressure to accelerate their collections and deliver them to consumers in a timely manner. To meet these demands, many are heavily investing in reducing product development lead times to better respond to market needs. As a result, this has become a crucial area of competitiveness for apparel factories, which must focus on optimizing and streamlining their processes to stay ahead.
