Read the case study and answer the questions below.
Zara International: Fashion at the Speed of Light
Zara’s parent company Inditex is known for year-on-year strong sales gains. Low prices and a rapid response to fashion trends
have pushed it into the top ranks of global clothing vendors. The chain specialises in lightning-quick turnarounds of the latest
designer trends at prices tailored to the young—about $27 an item. Louis Vuitton fashion director Daniel Piette has described
Zara as “possibly the most innovative and devastating retailer in the world.”
Inditex shortens the time from order to arrival using a complex system of just-in-time production and inventory management that
keeps Zara ahead of the competition. Its distribution centres can have items in European stores within 24 hours of receiving an
order, and in North American and Asian stores in under 48 hours. “They’re a fantastic case study in terms of how they manage
to get product to their stores so quick,” said Stacey Cartwright, executive vice president and CFO of Burberry Group PLC. “We
are mindful of their techniques.”
The firm carefully controls design, production, distribution, and retail sales to optimise the flow of goods, without having to share
profits with wholesalers or intermediary partners. Customers win with access to new fashions while they are still fresh off the
runway. Twice a week Zara’s finished garments are shipped to physical distribution centres that all simultaneously distribute
products to stores worldwide. These small production batches help the company avoid the risk of oversupply. Because batches
always contain new products, Zara’s stores perpetually energize their inventories. Most clothing lines are not replenished.
Instead, they are replaced with new designs to create scarcity value—shoppers cannot be sure that designs in stores one day
will be available the next day.
Store managers track sales data with handheld devices. They can reorder hot items in less than an hour. This lets Zara knows
what is selling and what is not. When a look does not pan out, designers promptly put together new products. New arrivals are
rushed to store sales floors still on the black plastic hangers used in shipping. Shoppers who are in the know recognise these
designs as the newest of the new; soon after, any items left over are rotated to Zara’s standard wood hangers.
