Sourcing-expert David Birnbaum answers these questions and more in his new cutting-edge text:

How can your factory move from being just one more garment maker to be becoming an irreplaceable asset in your customer?s supply chain?

How can you the importer reduce costs and at the same time gain greater speed-to-market by transferring the processes to your overseas supplier?

70% of FOB price is material: How do you find the materials you need, for the delivery you need, and at the price you want?
