Learn how to bring together the model, material, sample, approval, production and delivery steps into a realistic shirt production plan.

01

The plan does not consist only of the production start date

Shirt production plan; It is an interconnected calendar of product information preparation, fabric and accessory decisions, sample development, approvals, mass production, final inspection and shipment preparation.

The plan should be established with responsibilities and approval dates, as a missing decision at one stage may affect subsequent actions.

02

See order scope in one table

Model, color, size and quantity distribution are the basic input of the production plan. Differences in materials and packaging should also be noted in the same context.

  • Model and color list
  • Size-quantity distribution
  • Fabric and accessory direction
  • Labelling and packaging requirements
Review the order and delivery process
03

Add sample and approval times to the plan

Sample preparation, brand evaluation and revisions are not independent of production. Waiting times will be more visible if it is determined from the beginning who will give feedback and on what date.

04

Make risks visible early

Decisions such as special fabric, new pattern, multiple models or special accessories can affect the plan. These topics should be shared at the beginning of the interview; The exact schedule should be created after verifying the product and scope of supply.

05

Manage the plan with decision gates

Not only the start and end date of each stage, but also the information or approval with which it will be completed should be defined. Decision doors such as fabric approval, production basis samples and packaging instructions ensure that the next process begins safely.

  • Material approval
  • Sample based on production
  • Order distribution verification
  • Packaging and shipping information

Save the calendar impact of changes
