Lead time reductionLead time reduction
• Fabric dyer lead time of several months
• Dyer has long lead time on greige goods and needed to keep their capacity utilized year round but can change colors overnight
• Obermeyer can predict total annual sales and sales of basic colors, but can’t predict fashion colors
