Inventory and supply-chain optimisation for emerging-market apparel makers
Each weft is one exhibit's own data, normalised; each warp group is a chapter. The probe reads the exhibit's own value where it crosses. Procedural visualisation, not a measurement.
Operate the evidence first
The weft the probe was reading, lifted out of the cloth: the same exhibit at full size, with the probe as its cursor. Choose a weft, step through it, compare its series.

Inherited source-annex context, not a current factory stock requirement. Baseline: about 95 percent raw fibre export and about 5 percent local processing (R06). Policy ambition: 50 percent local processing by 2030 (R07). The 50 percent non-local-processing share in the ambition bar is the arithmetic complement 100 minus 50, included only to complete the two-category comparison; it is not a forecast of raw exports.
Unit: percent of cotton fibre. Status: derived. Sources: R06, R07.

Eight constructed paths per panel. Unrounded, all share mean 1,100 pieces, population variance 50,000 pieces squared and standard deviation 223.606798 pieces. Panel 1 scales symmetric deviations [-300,-200,-100,-100,100,100,200,300] by √(4/3). Panel 2 uses lumpy deviations [-400,-100,-100,-100,0,100,200,400]. Panel 3 scales joint delays [-400,-400,-100,-100,200,200,300,300] by √(2/3), producing negative skew. No probabilities are assigned. Censoring and lead-time cautions follow S22 and S24; scenario comparison follows S23.
Unit: illustrative pieces of lead-time demand. Status: illustrative. Sources: S22, S23, S24. Illustrative figures are teaching examples, not measured factory results.

Illustrative whole-chain annual cost bridge. Opening frequent-shipment policy cost = 12.0. Consolidation saves 1.8 in freight, then adds 0.9 cycle and pipeline carrying cost, 0.7 additional delay-buffer cost, 0.2 handling and damage exposure and 0.6 expedite exposure. Closing consolidated cost = 12.0 - 1.8 + 0.9 + 0.7 + 0.2 + 0.6 = 12.6. Every input is a teaching assumption. No Cameroon quote, tariff, lead time or realised cost is asserted.
Unit: illustrative XAF million per year. Status: illustrative. Sources: S03, S29, S30. Illustrative figures are teaching examples, not measured factory results.

Inventory earns its place only when it protects an explicit promise
GFT argues for measured, cash-constrained inventory decisions that protect usable material and customer commitments without manufacturing surplus.
01 / 05The thesis
GFT argues that apparel makers should choose inventory by its measured contribution to a defined customer promise, within usable-material, capacity and cash constraints, and expand automation only after the policy is proved.

02 / 05Part I · Define the stock decision before buying the stock
Inventory is a commitment of cash to a particular material, location and customer promise. For an emerging-market apparel maker, the relevant question is therefore not how to minimise stock in isolation, but which stock is worth holding, for how long and under whose authority. A missing trim can stop a complete garment order while unwanted sizes occupy the warehouse.
Part I · chapters 01 to 03 · 85 minutes · 13 exhibits
03 / 05Part II · Match replenishment rules to material and demand
Average lead times can hide the delays that exhaust a buffer, and apparently cheaper purchasing can consume the cash needed to finish production. This paper argues for a measured decision system that begins with usable-stock truth, segments commercial promises and then selects replenishment rules suited to each material and selling window.
Part II · chapters 04 to 07 · 104 minutes · 17 exhibits
04 / 05Part III · Resolve constraints across the supply chain
It connects continuous and periodic review, seasonal ordering, material requirements planning, postponement and network choices to cash, capacity and supplier constraints. Foundational methods are distinguished from external field evidence and research manuscripts. Worked cases are explicitly illustrative; no operating savings or deployed GFT factory system are claimed.
Part III · chapters 08 to 11 · 103 minutes · 18 exhibits
05 / 05Part IV · Prove the policy before widening its authority
The Cameroon textile programme provides the design context, with its connected feasibility, performance-management and digital-strategy work. The paper closes with a proposed staged pilot, explicit stop conditions and a measurement contract covering service, stock accuracy, cash exposure and supplier and worker safeguards. It is a research and operating-method discussion, not investment, legal or tax advice.
