A novel apparel-supply system is described that is compatible with Quick Response retailing of apparel with a finite shelf life. The system is driven by a retail point-of-sale procedure, which regularly re-estimates customer demand and generates frequent reorders on the manufacturer and fabric supplier. The system is shown to come close to perfect supply over a range of operating conditions and thus allow greatly improved retail performance when compared with traditional retailing procedures.
