A tool that assists in planning the quantity of each size needed when ordering or producing t-shirts. It forecasts the required number of small, medium, large, and other sizes, based on target demographic data or previous sales trends. For instance, a business projecting to sell 1000 t-shirts might use this to determine how many of each size to order, aiming to minimize surplus stock of less popular sizes while ensuring sufficient quantities of frequently requested sizes.
Effective size distribution planning contributes to inventory management, reducing the risk of overstocking specific sizes while preventing stockouts of others. Historically, businesses relied on estimations or generalized industry data, leading to inefficiencies. Modern tools offer more precise calculations, potentially incorporating factors such as geographic location, customer demographics, and seasonal trends to refine size breakdowns and improve profitability.
