Abstract

The rapid changing consumers' taste has rendered seasonal sale forecasts in retailing more difficult. Quick Response System(QRS) has been considered as a new business strategy to meet various consumers' needs. Shortening the cycle time of production and distribution chain is the goal of QRS. The purpose of this study was to identify the adoption of QRS at casual wear apparel manufacturers. The research was conducted to 38 apparel manufacturers by questionnaire survey. The results of study run as follows. 1. Most manufacturers adopted the inventory control technology to keep the stock balance. The least adopted QR technology was flexible manufacturing including short cycle production and computer aided manufacturing technologies. 2. The need of QRS was related to the response production rate of the manufacturer. The manufacturers run production system with low response production rate perceived that the use of POS data and production planning according to the customers' trend are significantly important technology. 3. The lead time of the manufacturer with high response production rate was 40% shorter than the manufacturers with low response production rate.
