Abstract

Shipment delay is a major problem that affects the relationship between buyer and manufacturer and also affects the transportation cost. This leads to reduce demand, loss of clients, and decline in sales and also create a negative impact on the manufacturer. In this study, corrective measures have been framed and implemented in the industry to overcome the shipment delay. The analysis has been done for 6 different styles of garment production starting from order receiving to shipment delivery. The valuable suggestion have been given to overcome the shipment delay by recruiting junior merchandiser after that the results have been analysed.
