Design-to-Shelf Pipeline overview

Manages the fashion product pipeline from concept to retail placement -- tracking design submissions through trend board approval, coordinating tech pack creation with material sourcing timelines, scheduling sample production runs with factory capacity constraints, managing fit review cycles with size grading adjustments, and synchronizing go-to-market dates with buyer allocation windows. Produces line plan status dashboards, critical path timelines, and SKU readiness reports. Excludes retail merchandising and pricing.
