These factors have led to significant fluctuations in garment product demand, complicating the manufacturing process and escalating operational costs.<\/p>\n<p>In response to these challenges, Professor Wallace Hopp from the University of Michigan has developed the groundbreaking <strong>&#8220;Law of Variability&#8221; <\/strong>theory. This event will explore how this innovative theory can be leveraged to balance and mitigate the risks associated with supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of strategic approaches to stabilize their supply chains, ensuring a more predictable and controlled manufacturing environment despite the prevailing uncertainties. Don\u2019t miss this opportunity to equip your business with the knowledge to thrive in a turbulent market.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>HKIAIA Small Gathering<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"123\">Date:<\/td>\n<td width=\"431\">13 September 2024 (Friday)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"123\">Time:<\/td>\n<td width=\"431\">2:30 p.m. &#8211; 4:30 p.m.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"123\">Location:<\/td>\n<td width=\"431\">Exhibition Hall, 2\/F,<br \/>\nClothing Industry Training Authority,<br \/>\n63 Tai Yip Street, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"123\">Fee:<\/td>\n<td width=\"431\">Free of charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"123\">Speakers:<\/td>\n<td width=\"431\">Dr. Mark Lee, the Research Director of Asia Pacific Institute for Strategy (APIFS)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"123\">Notes:<\/td>\n<td width=\"431\">\n<ul>\n<li>Participants are limited and reserved on a first come, first served basis.<\/li>\n<li>An email notification will be sent to applicants upon receipt of application.<\/li>\n<li>HKIAIA reserves the right to accept \/ reject applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>If you would like to register to join the gathering, please email the completed enrollment form to <a href=\"mailto:event@hkiaia.org\">event@hkiaia.org<\/a> <strong>before 6 September<\/strong><strong>\u00a02024 <\/strong>upon confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>[REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
