In this article, we will discuss the Top 4 production challenges. There are wholesale suppliers of garments, clothing providing you T Shirts, Over sized T Shirts, Polo T Shirts, Hoodies and Sweatshirts.

We at The Cloth Craft as one of the best manufacturer and supplier of wholesale fabrics (Fleece, French Terry and Single Jersey), we can supply you the premium fabrics and also get the customization done for your specific needs.
Challenges with Production:
Quality control: Maintaining consistent quality control throughout the production process can be difficult, especially when working with new manufacturers. This might involve frequent inspections and communication.
While starting a new relationship, you may be promised the best quality but the reality can be different. To cut costs, manufacturers compromise on quality of production and stitching. Agree the quality aspects in detail and in writing is crucial. Starting with small trial order is always advisable. Always see pre-production samples. Ask the manufacturer for the process they have for quality control and inspection. Agree terms in case of quality issues (the manufacturer should refund or provide you replacement garments within specified time).
Production delays: Delays in production due to unforeseen circumstances like material shortages, labor issues, or logistical problems can disrupt launch schedules and impact sales. To get your order, many times the manufacturer will over promise on the timelines. However, in reality, many things can go wrong or take time. Thus, always be clear with the manufacturer on the timelines, provide him your feedback on pre-production samples in time, monitor progress regularly and always keep extra time in hand for unexpected delays.
Limited control over production process: New brands may have less control over the production process compared to established brands, making it harder to ensure specific requirements are met. It is better for small brands to work with sourcing agent or buying agent or professional companies like The Cloth Craft that understand the needs of a new clothing brand. The supplier should support you in your journey as you take small steps.
Limited understanding of production costs: New brands might struggle with accurately estimating production costs, leading to budget overruns or underestimating the true cost of their garments. Building in all costs including the fixed cost and value of your time are important. Include cost of product, transportation, warehousing, etc. as variable cost of the product. At the same time, allocate all fixed costs to the volume that you sell to arrive at the per unit fixed cost. Cost of manpower, office rent, office cost, marketing, website, travel, accounting, trade license cost and also the value of your time.
