select an apparel or fashion item and research the data needed to source it globally.

IN433 – Global Sourcing TERM PROJECT I will give item and countries for analysis once working with a writer. Students will select an apparel or fashion item and research the data needed to source it globally. In completing this project, students will be able to apply the skills acquired in prior semesters, i.e., International Trade and Import / Export Regulations (HTSUS Classification and US duty rates), etc. a) Find two (2) different factories in two different countries (USA not an option) where the item can be produced *Note: this is a comparative analysis so the product has to be the same product from each factory* b) Explain in detail why these countries were selected, i.e., trade agreements, special duty preferences, etc. c) Prepare a Full Value Costing Comparative Analysis (including Direct Costs, Indirect Cost/Risk and Macro Cost/Risk) for the item from both selected factories, including all necessary country specific details d) Decide where the item should be sourced from and describe the management process (include a detailed planning calendar) for the product to reach retail shelves e) Give and substantiate your recommended retail price and approximate date of availability 1. Objective a) to be initiated in the basic process of sourcing in a global market b) to learn essential skills in sourcing, such as evaluating areas of production, assessing associated risk, costing, and process management 2. Requirement Students will complete a 6-page typed paper and a PowerPoint presentation, and upload them to blackboard on the date specified in the class outline 3. Information Sources a) the subjects covered in this class including lectures, readings, and case studies; b) information gathered from outside vendors, retail stores and web sites 4. Spreadsheet Country Analysis Forms – See Example of Term Project Cost/Risk Analysis Spreadsheet Link (under the Term Project Link) Many students have found this spreadsheet very useful when preparing their project. In addition to the PowerPoint Presentation File, a 6 page, double spaced, typed paper is due. If the paper is longer, that is OK. Also, include a works cited or reference page.
