Zara has developed a highly responsive supply chain that enables it to deliver new fashion items to stores within 2 weeks. This allows Zara to respond rapidly to emerging trends. Key aspects of Zara's supply chain include closing the communication loop between customers and designers, maintaining a consistent rhythm across the entire chain, and leveraging its production and distribution facilities for flexibility. While very effective for Zara, its model may not work for all retailers as it relies on Zara's expertise in fast fashion and ability to quickly change products based on customer feedback.

22. Zara has overturned the tables of supply change management by
following the three principles – closing the communication loop, sticking
to the rhythm across the entire chain and leveraging their capital assets
to increase supply chain flexibility (Ferdows, Lewis & Machuca, 2004).
These three principles work wonders at their individual levels. They do so
by making the data transfer easy and transparent from shoppers to
designers and production staff thus continually evolving their designs and
keeping with the latest trends. Their production efficiency is next to
none as they are able to bring the product to market shelf in 15 days
which other retailers cannot match. They have also been able to control
production and distribution facilities which results in high efficiency in
the supply chain responsiveness thus able to deliver new products at very
fast rates and hence taking caring of the ever changing market around
the world. This is something which is very difficult for other retailers to
emulate and hence Zara’s model will be difficult to implement at these
retailers.

23. I believe that Zara’s model do not work for all retailers. In order for
some retailers to use Zara’s model, they would need to match Zara’s
fashion expertise and have the ability to change their product. For
example when customers say they don’t like this one certain product,
Zara would pull out the product and wound not sell it anymore. Zara’s
fashion is quick and adapts to their customers demands. Zara’s model
focuses on low advertising because they create that store
atmosphere where everything is trendy, limited amount of each
products which helps them reduce risk, and loyal customer feedback
that comes to the store. Regular retailers are rapidly improving their
skill for demand forecasting, merchandise selection, stock control,
space allocation, and display Regular retail and Zara are different
because Zara takes customer feedbacks seriously
