The pre-production and production process has many steps that need to be carefully followed in order to manage the timely production of apparel, footwear, or accessories.  Garment companies that wish to avoid buyer cancelations or chargebacks, need to make certain to ship product on the agreed upon dates.  In order to make this happen, clothes companies need to manage the schedule for 1^st patterns, fabric purchases, trim delivery deadlines, etc.  If you are a fashion designer and plan on presenting your collection at Fashion Week, you better make 100% certain that the clothing needed to be worn by the models arrives on time.  If you are planning a trade show event, line launch, or if you have a order from a buyer, you must make sure everything rungs smoothly and on time.  Stay on track, stay organized, and make sure you have enough time to complete each of the required stages of design, production, and delivery.
