Buyer scenarios
Composite teaching scenarios for the mistakes that stall programs: shade on reorder, shrinkage after wash, incomparable quotations, and the wrong knit for a uniform polo. Not case studies. Not customer names.
Teaching scenario — not a published customer program. Composite situations for education; no customer is identified and no order is claimed.
Teaching scenarios
Colour & dyeing
When the reorder navy is not the same navy
A perfect first shipment and a second lot that looks wrong under store lighting.
Teaching scenario
Shrinkage
The sealed sample that failed the first laundry
Fit approved on the hanger, rejected after industrial wash day one.
Teaching scenario
Costing
The cheaper FOB that was answering a different question
Two prices for ‘the same polo’ — until fabric weight and pack were named.
Teaching scenario
Knit construction
Soft in the hand, collapsed after fifty washes
Jersey felt better in the showroom. Pique held the program on the floor.
Teaching scenario
Documented proof
Scenarios teach. Case studies document. We publish a manufacturing program only where the facts are verified and the customer stays unnamed.
Documented case studiesReading a scenario is useful. Costing a real specification is better.
