Coronavirus is redefining 'fast fashion.' Here are 2 fashion industry supply chain organizations that are helping get needed medical 'fashion' to hospitals fast:
“We have established command central to keep supply moving in real time to meet rapidly shifting demand,” she says.Americas Apparel Producers’ NetworkManaging director Mike Todaro explains, “We’re a textile/apparel supply chain network with 200 member companies in all 30 links for the apparel supply chain , from the ‘dirt to the shirt.’”
This past Sunday morning, the AAPN opened an online Sourcing Center to tie its network of 1,600 industry owners, managers, and executives together and keep their businesses rolling. In only 12 hours, 800 people had logged on and the number is over 3,000 contacts as of this morning. It worked overnight for one textile mill in N.C. that closed up last Friday only to open again on Monday to begin producing hospital masks.Last Friday we made a few samples of masks to see if we could. By Monday we began making 8,000 masks a day and this will double next week.
While the APPN members don’t carry the needed medical gear in their inventory, they make every component that goes into the strict compliance requirements for masks and other medical sewn products.Note: The previous version of this story incorrectly stated The Worldwide Supply Chain Federation was started last Thursday. Rather, its COVID-19 response initiative launched then. Updated at 1:50 p.m., March 26, 2020.
