"Demand now rules"

Suspeito que por detrás destes inventários em crescendo "Heavy Inventories Threaten to Squeeze Clothing Stores" está, em parte, a obsolescência das cadeias de fornecimento baseadas na eficiência mas demasiado rígidas para um mundo cada vez mais acelerado:

"Retailers constantly have to balance the risks of running lean inventories and missing sales with overbuying and having to liquidate. Retailers that opted to run a little heavy may now regret it, Mr. Johnson said.
...
Also working against apparel retailers is a shift toward bringing the coming season's goods into stores earlier in an effort to capture more sales. It used to be the spring goods would hit stores in early January, but now they are arriving as soon as Dec. 21, Customer Growth's Mr. Johnson said. That means new goods will collide with old fall and winter merchandise still hanging on the racks."

Recordar ""Demand now rules" e isso faz toda a diferença!"
