Overview

Operating on minimal tolerances, the retail industry faces challenges similar to those in other industries. The only difference is that they combine together to put a great deal of pressure on retailers in today's modern economy. With a fast-paced society and faster-paced technological changes, customers want new, different, and customized goods and that too without delay. The critical risks that the retail industry is facing today are

• Shortening product life cycles
• Managing multi channel operations
• High demand volatility
• Extended supply chains
• Production offshoring
• Increasing lead times
• Pricing pressures
• Lost sales and brand erosion due to stock outs
• Highly competitive and margin sensitive industry
