Different Cotton canResult in substantial
difference in Quality and Cost

Let’s look at the opportunities in supply chain thinking..

Key fiber properties most impact on fabric performance
Short Fiber Content Fiber shorter than ½ inch
Micronaire Fiber finess
Fiber StrengthMeasured in grams/Tex
Fiber LengthMeasured in millimeters, Upper Quartile

Conclusions• When offering consumers cotton products which you want to implement
sustainable practices, you must establish relationships from fiber forward.• We must work with our suppliers to improve quality and share the true
cost with retailers. Allow retailers the opportunity to accept or deny the impact on the final product price.
• Often times correct cost are not calculated because we do not assume efficiency gains along the supply chain. But, we know that every weaving, knitting, cutter, and sewing operator recognizes good quality fabric. Therefore, the factors used for risk and waste are over exaggerated.
• As a supplier, knowing that we play a major role in the success of the final product, we must continuously improve the process and increase the value the final consumer is receiving.
• We must communicate to the final consumer the value which he has purchased.
