News about Ralph Lauren Corporation Contracts |
Ralph Lauren's Comment on Supply Chain
We contract for the manufacture of our products and do not own or operate any
production facilities. Over 700 different manufacturers worldwide produce our
apparel, footwear, accessories, and home products, with no one manufacturer
providing more than approximately 4% of our total production during Fiscal 2014.
We source both finished products and raw materials. Raw materials include fabric,
buttons, and other trim. Finished products consist of manufactured and fully
assembled products ready for shipment to our customers. Less than 2% of our
products (by dollar value) were produced in the U.S., and over 98% of our products
(by dollar value) were produced outside the U.S., primarily in Asia, Europe,
and Latin America.
Most of our businesses must commit to the manufacturing of our garments before
we sell finished goods, whether to wholly-owned retail stores or to wholesale
customers. We also must commit to purchase fabric from mills well in advance
of our sales. If we overestimate our primary customers demand for a particular
product or the need for a particular fabric or yarn, we may sell the excess
products or garments made from such fabric or yarn in our factory stores or
through other secondary distribution channels.
Suppliers operate under the close supervision of our global manufacturing
division and buying agents headquartered in Asia, the Americas, the Middle East,
and Europe. All products are produced according to our specifications. Production
and quality control staff in Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and Europe
monitor manufacturing at supplier facilities in order to correct problems prior
to shipment of the final product. Procedures have been implemented under our
vendor certification and compliance programs so that quality assurance is reviewed
early in the production process, allowing merchandise to be received at the
distribution facilities and shipped to customers with minimal interruption.
