US apparel manufacturing missed Industry 3.0…Leapfrogging to 4.0 and beyond requires breakthrough thinking outside the industry…
Apparel manufacturing hasn’t been addressed in the US for 40+ years. The significant disrupting factor that hastened apparel manufacturing’s precipitous decline is outsourcing, resulting in 1,000,000 jobs lost and strategic business lock-in, the inability to innovate. Today, 98% of the apparel is imported into the US every year. The apparel industry has been attempting to re-engineer their business models over the past few years, a recognition of the consumer’s new market leverage. A business model has been defined and embraced: "sustainable fast fashion", a market differentiation model, defined by retailers and fashion experts, but very difficult to implement without fundamentally restructuring supply. Faster new product development, continuous innovation responding to ever changing fashion trends, requires a strong PLM backbone and a better supply model. With PLM and a Digital Twin at its core, Pleneri’s* virtual value streams, modern factories and an integrating/enabling platform transforms the global apparel manufacturing industry starting in the US.
