From Fashion to Aerospace: The Power of Clarity in Operational Transformation

In this episode, Emma and Daniel explore a case study of a global fashion brand scaling its fulfillment operations across Asia. While the topic may seem outside the aerospace industry, the key takeaway is highly relevant: the power of clarity in complex operational transformations. The fashion brand shifted from UK-based fulfillment to a new regional warehouse in Vietnam using a structured approach called 'Clarity Mapping' to define success, identify risks, and map out dependencies. They integrated their ERP system with the logistics partner's WMS in Vietnam using middleware, achieving end-to-end visibility. This episode highlights the importance of strategic alignment, real-time data, regional optimization, and seamless system integration. These principles apply not just to fashion brands, but also to aerospace manufacturers expanding into new markets. Whether you're in aerospace or fashion, the takeaway is clear: smart operations require starting with clarity before diving into complexity.
