8. Lean as a Strategy The American textile industry has moved much of its operations offshore in the pursuit of lower labor costs. Textile imports have risen from 2% of all textile production in the early 1960s to over 70%. Offshore manufacturers make long runs of standard mass-market apparel items. These are then brought to the United States in container ships, requiring significant time between original order and delivery. As a result, retail customers must accurately forecast market demands for imported apparel items. Rather than competing with the offshore manufacturers on price in the textile industry, some U.S companies are: a.providing smaller quantities with much faster delivery. b.producing much larger batches with a strategy of flooding the market. c.making large order commitments to control the fashion market. d."providing smaller quantities with much faster delivery", "producing much larger batches with a strategy of flooding the market", and "making large order…
