The typical problems facing with textile and apparel supply chain are short product cycle for fashion articles, long production lead-time and forecasting errors for fashion items. The Hong Kong textile and apparel supply chain faces additional problems of distance from customers in the US and European markets, long production lead-times and minimum batch sizes for production and recently, the elimination of quota restrictions in the US market; all these force the industry to maintain its competitiveness through supply chain management.

The supply chain in Hong Kong, therefore, instead of focussing on logistics, transportation, time to market and forecast demands, should focus on product

design, material control, and production co-ordination. The Hong Kong supply chain activities should streamline the whole production process from fibres to yarn, knitting, weaving, dyeing and finishing, through to the garment manufacturing process

The study finds that the Indian garment industry isfacing many supply chain issues such as inventory management, visibility, lead time, collaboration, technology andlogistics which are almost faced by all the companies all over the supply chain. The companies also vary in their size and are product offerings base on their target customer groups. Study also suggests the appropriate supply chain strategy for every combination of company type and product offered.

Implementation of the QR practices, CPFR, VMI and use of RFID technology and other Information technology techniques will resolve manyissues such as traceability of products and errors, visibility, the real time customer demand analysis, collaboration and the scope of use of POS data will be increased.

Until a few years ago, logistics was rarely discussed in large corporations. Today however, effective logistics and supply chain management has gained immense prominence in corporate boardrooms. In todays complex world, getting products and services to the right places, at the right time is a key determinant of organizational competitiveness. Companies depend heavily on effective and efficient logistics and supply chain processes to make their products and services available to customers. It is hence, not surprising that a career in Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management is a popular choice among well-qualified MBA graduates.

Supply chain management is based on the idea that most every product that reaches an end user represents the cumulative effort of multiple organizations, collectively referred to as the supply chain. While supply chains have essentially existed since the start of business, the field of supply chain management, or logistics, has not been thoroughly studied until fairly recently.As companies have looked to spread their production around the globe to cut costs and build their customer base, effective supply chains have been found to often raise efficiency and assure products reach their end user as quickly as possible.The Importance of MBAThe MBA is essentially a generalist qualification designed to widen the student's horizon in order to take account of all the major functions of a business as well as their interactions in practice. Because its focus is general rather than specialist, the MBA is targeted at those who can make a contribution to strategy. They may have general management ambitions, but not necessarily. They may also be senior specialists who need a rounded view of an enterprise in order to maximise their particular contribution, and for who better performance in a current job may be as important as early ambitions for promotion. MBAs come from almost every conceivable background in terms of first degree, functional role, industry and enterprise including charities, government bodies, health, education and other not for profit organisations

A syllabus is often thought of as that apparently benign document instructors assemble and distribute to students at the start of the semester. Whether it is intended or not, the quality of the syllabus is a fairly reliable indicator of the quality of teaching and learning that will take place in a course (Woolcock, 2003). Therefore, it behooves instructors to make the effort to construct a high-quality syllabus. The results of that effort can benefit the instructor as well as his or her students.

Importance of syllabusThe process of developing a syllabus can be a reflective exercise, leading the instructor to carefully consider his or her philosophy of teaching, why the course is important, how the course fits in the discipline, as well as what topics will be covered, when assignments will be due, and so on (Eberly, Newton, & Wiggins, 2001; Grunert, 1997). This can be an enlightening experience that results in an improved course. In addition, by making sure expectations are clearly communicated, instructors can circumvent a whole host of student grievances and misunderstandings during the semester. The syllabus is, thus, both a professional document and a personal document, one that reflects the instructors feelings, attitudes, and beliefs about the subject matter, teaching, learning, and students, as well as setting out the nuts and bolts of the course. When so constructed, the syllabus can serve as a guide to the instructor as much as a guide to the class (Parkes & Harris, 2002).A syllabus lets students know what the course is about, why the course is taught, where it is going, and what will be required for them to be successful in the course (Altman & Cashin, 2003). The well-designed syllabus provides a solid beginning to the semester, sets the tone for the course, provides a conceptual framework for the course, serves as a virtual handshake between the instructor and students, and becomes a resource that is referred to over the course of the semester. It also shows students that you take teaching seriously (Davis, 1993).Nowadays, many students are looking to pursue management course after their graduation to enhance their career prospects. However, this increase in demand of management courses has led to different institutes providing business courses under different domains. It is important to know that the relevance of these courses is tested at a practical level and thus it is imperative that the management courses are industry oriented.Industry Oriented Management Courses Help in Developing Better ProfessionalsThe syllabus, projects, and co-curricular case studies that are covered in a management course has direct impact on the students thinking style and his or her problem solving approach. Industry oriented courses provide hands-on experience of real life scenarios at workplace where presence of mind and working under stress are expected to be integrated into the professionals.
