Abstract
This paper reviews four factors involved in apparel and textile manufacturing procedures under international economic fluctuation. This work will be helpful to evaluate the efficiency of global manufacturing systems. Production costs including direct costs related to material and labor costs, and indirect costs associated with manufacturing running ones are significantly correlated to diverse visible and invisible elements such as infrastructure and the labor skills of foreign manufacturing areas, which might create an apparent difference in production costs. Manufacturers can consider how to improve the efficiency of manufacturing systems through a review of the co-relationship between manufacturing procedures and four factors such as manufacturing systems, production outsourcing types, manufacturing locations, and production costs in detail. In addition, the four factors are the core parameters of determining or contributing to the efficiency of a production schedule that is ultimately associated with the supply chain management (SCM) to efficiently conduct Quick Response (QR).
