Operational Risk Management in International Apparel Manufacturing Networks

International apparel production relies on coordination among suppliers, logistics providers, and sourcing offices. Operational disruptions may arise from production delays, transportation interruptions, or supplier instability. This research examines risk management approaches used in global apparel manufacturing networks. The study analyzes supplier reliability indicators, logistics coordination practices, and contingency sourcing strategies. Results show that diversified supplier networks and structured monitoring systems reduce production disruptions and delivery delays. The findings contribute to improved operational planning within distributed garment manufacturing systems.
