Logistic and Supply Chain 3
Introduction
Logistics consider those activities that happen within the range of the single company and supply
chain considers those networks of companies that work together and manage their actions to
provide a product to market (Christopher, 2016). The focus of traditional logistics is on
distribution, maintenance and inventory management. The role of the supply chain management
covers all traditional logistics along with the activities like a new product, finance, and new
product development and consumer service. For this assignment, Men’s Shirt will be considered
to elaborate on the importance of supply chain management in a concise manner. The process
will be emphasized from raw material to finished goods of men’s shirt. This assignment will also
provide effective knowledge regarding logistic and supply chain management as the process of
making shirt entails various steps and missing of one step can destroy entire efforts of the

1. Procurement and Inspection of raw material
The apparel manufacture process starts with the procurement of raw material and examination of
the same. It involves the trims and fabrics such as buttons, labels, zippers and interlinings. The
inspection of fabric is done within the company in order to find defects in the fabric. Supremely
100% of fabric should be examined before it is cut. On the other hand, when the fabric is
procured from a genuine resource or the status of fabric is fault free by the manufacturer of
fabric; in such case, the sample quantities are inspected (Fernie & Sparks, 2018). The defects in
the fabric can be categorized on the basis of the source of the fault as:
(a) Yarn faults
