What is Lead Time in The Garment Industry and Factors Affecting It?

 At Thygesen Textile Vietnam, we recognize that lead time—the period between placing an order and receiving the final garments—is a critical factor in the garment industry. Efficient management of lead time ensures timely delivery and customer satisfaction.

Several factors influence lead time, including:

• Fabric sourcing: Availability and procurement of materials can significantly affect timelines.

• Sample development: Creating and approving samples is essential before mass production.

• Production scheduling: Efficient planning ensures optimal use of resources and time.

• Shipping logistics: Transportation and customs processes can introduce delays.

By understanding and optimizing these elements, we aim to reduce lead times, enhancing efficiency and reliability for our clients.
