Optimize your supply chain with this specialized Makigami template tailored for the fashion and retail industry.
In the fast-paced world of fashion, time-to-market is everything. This template helps Project Managers, Product Developers, and Sourcing teams to visualize the entire lifecycle of a collection – from the first design sketch to the final shop launch.
Unlike standard process maps, this Makigami focuses on Efficiency Analysis. By distinguishing between Process Time (PT) (actual work) and Lead Time (LT) (total duration), you can instantly spot where your collection gets stuck.
Key Features:
🧥 Tailored for Fashion: Pre-filled swimlanes for Design, Product Management (PM), Sourcing, Production, and Sales/E-Commerce.
⏱️ Efficiency KPIs: Built-in slots to calculate and compare "Active Work" vs. "Waiting Time".
🚦 Traffic Light System: A visual guide to identify waste:
🔴 Red: Critical Waiting / Stops
🟡 Yellow: Transport / Administrative Delays
🟢 Green: Value Add (Actual creation)
🛍️ Hybrid Launch Ready: Includes a specific workflow for managing parallel launches in Online Shops and physical Pop-up Stores (Nomadic Retail).
How to use this template:
Map your Process: Use the swimlanes to define your actors and project phases.
Measure Time: Estimate the PT and LT for every step to reveal the true "Cost of Delay".
Spot the Waste: Use the Red/Yellow/Green dots to highlight bottlenecks.
Connect the Dots: Draw lines to visualize the handover between departments (e.g., Sourcing to PM).
