The significance of the topics of quality management and holistic thinking comes from the fact that they both are relevant to every single step of fashion production, from the concept to retail and waste management. The module will guide you with the use of practical examples, case studies and good advice. Last but not least, it offers ideas and practical tips for SMEs and solo-entrepreneurs on how to introduce quality management and holistic thinking in a fashion or textile-related company.
