For example, the selection and management of suppliers and determination of information needs and systems. What advantage does Zara gain against the competition by having a very responsive supply chain? What advantage does the company gain from replenishing its stores multiple times a week compared to a less frequent schedule? How does the frequency of replenishment affect the improved customer satisfaction? What information infrastructure does Zara need in order to operate its production, distribution, and fast fashion retail network effectively?
