- 2. • Simplify (non-branded) trim sourcing process • Organize Trims • Emphasize importance of short/long lead times, base qualities, and cost-effective options • Create “PINK Trim Fact Sheet” protocol for go forward
- 3. • Consolidated non-branded trims across Yoga, LA, and Lounge categories • Created Trim Library for Design and Pre- Production use – Binder per trim type – Within binder, separated by region • Helped work towards prioritized objectives • Addressed cost issues from a customer perspective
- 4. • Disorganized • Yoga, Lounge, LA may be using the same trim from different vendors • Categories using trims that are minimally different from each other • Lead times are unclear and long • Importing most trims and paying to air them
- 5. • Easy access to Trims that are in development, currently being used, etc. • All categories aligned and aware of what other categories are using • Cost-effective trim options • Reduced amount of options • Utilizing same base qualities so we won’t have to re-negotiate lead times • Shorter lead times • Organized
- 6. • Use what is already in house or what can be locally sourced • Use what another category is using / what has already been approved • Be flexible and open to factory options
- 7. • Costing Example • We can use a Poly Spun Draw Cord over a Cotton Draw Cord because it is more cost effective – Consumer would not notice the difference – Poly absorbs color better
- 8. • Consolidation Example • LA is currently using a specific draw cord with Brandix • Lounge is looking to source the same draw cord and lands sourcing it with Lee’s but has to go through approval process • Solution: Lounge would be able to go through books and see that LA is already using the same Draw Cord and then proceed from there
- 9. • Trim Library is located on the 4th Floor (Owned by Pre- Production) • Trim Fact Sheet can be found: • In Live Link under the PINK PREPRODUCTION folder: https://inknowledge.limitedbrands.com:443/livelink/livelink.e xe/overview/161525975 • In the G Drive: G:EVERYONE# Pink Pre ProductionTrim

- While working on this project I recognized clear objectives that I focused on and used as a guideline throughout my work. The main objective of this project was to simplify the sourcing process. I worked on the non-branded trims that we source; organizing and simplifying the process in order to make it easier for future use. Our teams want to know important information such as lead times, what the base qualities of trims are, and costs but easy access to this information would make the whole process faster. So, when I was going through already existing trims I noticed that the sheets they were on were all different from each other; nothing was aligned, and most were not entirely filled out with all of the necessary information. So, I created this Trim Fact Sheet for go forward. This sheet will act like a protocol. When we get a new trim from region that we are developing we can go out and request that they fill out the information on this form, or we can do it ourselves. My hope is that all trims will be on this sheet with all of the information for east access, so that the teams do not have to scramble around looking around for missing information. So far, I had one factory from Vietnam fill out this hseet and they came back to me quickly and were happy to work with this.
- I spent a lot of time going through all of the existing trims we had on file. Teammates would hand me trims they found along the way, knowing I was working on this project. I organized trims across Yoga, Lounge, and LA categories which was another main goal of this project; consolidating across categories. After going through the many trims, I created a Trim Library for Design and Pre-Production use. Here is the library: Each binder has its own trim type and within the binder, the trims are separated by region. I helped work towards the team objectives mentioned earlier and addressed cost issues from a consumer perspective considering that I am a part of the PINK target demographic.
- The current situation of the trim sourcing process is that it is a bit disorganized in that Yoga, Lounge, and LA are not aligned. Categories may be using the same trims or trims that are barely different from each other and sourcing these from different vendors. Additionally, trim lead times are unclear and long. By importing most trims and paying to air them, we are not being cost-effective.
- As I mentioned earlier, we would like to be in a place where we have easy access to trims that are in development, currently being used, etc. You might have noticed that some of the trims in the books were even dropped but were still placed in the library because while Yoga designers might have disliked the trim because it didn’t fit with what they were going for, maybe a Lounge designer will think it is perfect. We also want all categories aligned and aware of what other categories are using. We also want to be at a place where cost and the use of base qualities are emphasized. For example, the same yarn to make Lounge’s draw cord can be used to make Yoga’s knit tape. This would be great so that we wouldn’t have to go through the process of re-negotiating lead times.
- Our main goal is 100% speed. In order to get there we can use what is already in house or what can be locally sourced by the factories. We can also use what another category is using or what has already been approved. Being flexible and open to factory options will also enable us to go faster.
- As for a costing example, we can use a Poly Spun draw cord over a Cotton draw cord because that is a more cost-effective decision. From a consumer perspective, we would not notice the difference between the two. Another benefit to this is that poly absorbs color better. This example proves my point.
- An example of a problem would be if LA is currently using a specific draw cord with Brandix and Lounge is looking to source the same draw cord and lands sourcing it with Lee’s. Now Lounge has to go through the entire approval process not realizing that Brandix’s draw cord (that is the same) is already approved. The Trim Library would help because Lounge would be able to go through them and see that LA is already using it and then proceed from there.
