Fast Fashion Quick Response Adoption: Two Brazilian Apparel Case Studies

Two qualitative case studies from the apparel industry in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, examine the operationalization of Quick Response (QR) and inventory management strategies. The research was conducted by André Filipe Moraes Golobovante using a direct documentation and case study method. Results compare one company successfully operating under a fast fashion strategy against another that was unsuccessful due to a lack of QR application and inefficient inventory management.
