Quick Response is a new supply chain management system designed to meet the changing requirements of an increasingly more competitive market in the apparel sector. (Hunter et.al. 1992 and Kincade et.al. 1993). The main objective of this study is to build a System Dynamics simulation model of the portion of the textile and apparel pipeline including the retailing and wholesaling processes to search for inventory decisions and policies that yield reduced costs/increased revenues in terms of the retailer. Another specific purpose is to study the implications of different assumptions about product diversity, its effects on customer demand, possible stockouts and inventory costs. The model is constructed using system dynamics methodology and parameters have been estimated using data from LEVI'S company in Istanbul, Turkey. Simulation results show that the model promises to be a useful platform to analyze certain aspects of Quick Response policies, such as the effects of delays, inventory levels and product diversity. The model can be improved in a number of ways in so as to address other aspects of Quick Response in Supply chain management.
