LECTURE NOTES:
Product development is an end-to-end process that includes marketing, merchandising, creative and technical designing, sourcing, production, and the distribution and planning of goods that have a perceived value for a well-defined consumer group. Product development is not just one job or one role in the supply chain. It overlaps and is defined differently in various types of retail and wholesale brands. To be in product development, one may have a design background, a merchandising background, or a business background. It is part creative, part technical, part science, part research, part forecasting, and always an interesting and diverse area of the fashion apparel business. As you will see, hear, and learn, no two product developers’ roles are the same.  
Throughout the course, we focus on the new product development process in fashion corporations, from ideation, screening, concept development, physical development, testing, and commercialization of new products through to launch. Technology, sustainability, and global aspects are what make it a new development process.  
Yet as fun and creative as fashion can be, it is also a business. A very big one at that, that relies on strategic decision-making regarding the products a company puts out for sale.  Fashion needs to be profitable. Product development helps connect the profitability and business functions to the consumer and a product line. It encompasses a big supply chain inclusive of farms, laboratories, manufacturers and factories, and transportation companies that are all managed by a team of professionals. 
Brands must differentiate their products to compete. They must know their customers’ wants and values. A brand strategy helps to establish the organization’s reputation. What will the brand excel at: transparency and sustainability such as Everlane?  Price and speed as Zara does? Or quality and innovation like Lululemon?  This process must be fully realized and managed by the various functional areas of the organization such as the merchandising division, the marketing and sales division, and the IT division to name a few.  The benchmarks to success must be very clear. 
The Time and Action calendar, the Assortment Plan, and the Line Plan help businesses plan cross-functionally to achieve goals. Sustainable practices must also be considered in today’s customer-driven journey across all functional areas. Businesses must meet the consumer where they are, rather than hoping the consumer will magically come to them. The right product at the right price, the right time, and the right places are all paramount to the product development process and its supply chain members. 
This assignment is aligned with the following learning objective(s):
LO1: Build an awareness of the structural organization of apparel companies and their supply chains (CO5)
LO3: Recognize how brands are positioned in the marketplace. (CO4)
LO4: Understand how a brand’s mission, vision, and values shape its strategic plan (CO6, CO2)

My topic is research on mental health and how also people in the fashion industry are affected by the same.
I want to give an introduction about mental health in general and how important it is. Then adding to that research on the fashion industry aspect. My research is about creating weights and installing them in garments to provide comfort for people who are facing anxiety issues. “Fashion aiding mental health” The investigation of weights is just a small part of how fashion can contribute to helping and showing their concern for people facing mental health issues.
