Learn the B2B approach that evaluates the minimum production quantity together with model, fabric, color, size distribution and production structure.
A single quantity figure does not explain all projects
Minimum production quantity; The structure of the product, number of models, fabric supply, colors, size distribution and accessory customizations are evaluated together. For this reason, it is necessary to share the order distribution instead of just asking the total quantity.
Order fragmentation affects production availability
Even if the total quantity seems sufficient, a large number of models, colors or small size distributions may change the production plan.
- pieces per model
- pieces per color
- Size distribution
- Use of common or different fabrics
- Special accessories and packaging
Separate sample and mass production quantity
The product development and sample phase is not the mass order itself. Sample purpose and mass production target should be explained separately in the first meeting.
Ask the right question
In addition to the question 'How many units will you produce at least?', the question 'With what production structure can this collection distribution be implemented?' creates a healthier plan.
Total quantity and producible distribution are not the same thing
The fact that the order consists of hundreds of parts does not provide sufficient information on its own. Dividing the same total into multiple model, color and small size groups changes the cut, material and production plan.
If it is possible to use common fabric or accessories in similar models, the order can be planned more balanced. For this reason, the collection distribution should be shared in a tabular form before the offer.
- Pieces per model and color
- Size distribution
- Common fabric and accessories
- Packaging or label differences
Evaluate order size together with business target
An initial order, sales test, or follow-on collection creates different planning needs. Instead of excessively increasing product diversity, focusing on product groups that are meaningful to the target customer can provide a more controlled start.
If there is a possibility of reordering, material continuity, measurement standard and preservation of approved sample records should also be discussed.
See the same in the table before deciding.
Pieces per model, color and size
Supply structure of fabric and special accessories
Number of common and different production decisions
Expectation of repeat orders and material continuity
How do we approach this issue at Erten?
Order suitability is evaluated not only by the total quantity, but also by considering the manufacturable distribution of the collection and material decisions together.
Content control area: Purchasing and production planning approach. Commercial suitability is also evaluated based on product and order information.Frequently asked questions about this topic

Production suitability is evaluated according to product and order structure. You must share the model, color, size and approximate quantity distribution for your current order.
Let's evaluate your production needs together.
Sharing your product group, approximate quantity and target date is enough to get started.
It is not necessary to have all the details ready at the first meeting.
