Analysis of Supply Chain Network of FBS Production in Small and Medium Textile and Textile Product (TTP) Industry

Textile and textile product industries are one of prioritized industries to be developed for its strategic roles in national economy, e.g. contributing to foreign exchange, absorbing a large number of labours, and serving to meet national clothing need. TTP industry has a relatively complex supply chain. Problems in supply chain in companies implementing supply-chain management (SCM) that may occur, among others, are those related to supply-chain mapping. This SCM is used to carry out monitoring, controlling, and identifying position of an organization relative to its competitor and to objectives that they want to achieve. One of companies engaging in TTP industry is FBS Small and Medium Industry (SMI) owned by Mr. Rico since 2004. The company is a make-to-stock manufacturer which produce boys clothing ranging from jeans, t-shirts, to shirts. We conducted interview with experts in the company. Data was collected from the interview with the experts (CEO of the company and his reliable assistant). Based on discussion of FBS SMI supply-chain, it was concluded that basically the flow from suppliers to consumers was same in each production area. Raw materials are transferred from Kebayoran Headquarter to each production areas spread across Java Island, e.g. Jakarta, Pandeglang, Central Java, and Sukabumi, with different CMTs. It is expected that supply-chain mapping analysis of this company is able to clarify the flow of production from raw materials to finished goods reached by consumers.
