The Vendor Compliance Handbook
with Forms and Data Templates
2nd Edition!
Reference: 222

This book outlines everything a designer or a garment manufacturer needs to know about producing a garment from start to finish. The book includes all the steps they can perform to avoid disconcerting incidents, such as chargebacks and late deliveries. 

This book illustrates what it is that makes a designer succeed, as well as ways to make a production office run more smoothly. It outlines the way to manufacture a garment from the development of a sales sample to shipping the finished garment on time, and all of the "how to's" in between. The book demonstrates how to apply these ideas to an existing organization or to a start-up company. The book is ideal for the young designer, who is looking to begin a business, or for an existing company, that is having trouble with anything from poor or inconsistent fit to late shipping and charge backs. 
Included in the book are examples of forms and templates that you can compare to your existing ones. Together with this, it gives you a sample plan and action calendar that will help with your organization of all the development stages. All these forms will be useful when comparing them with your existing ones to see where you may be going wrong.

This book answers the questions of any new designer: "How do I produce a garment?", "Where do I start?", and "What standards should I use?" The book should help all those that are beginning in the fashion industry, and also facilitate those with existing loopholes that have been making their daily jobs grueling and hurting their businesses over time.

The Vendor Compliance Forms and Data Templates are frequently used in product development. These forms will save valuable time in "getting it right"!
