How Zara Mastered Speed Over Efficiency

Episode 12 of The Operator's Manual with Fexingo takes you inside the supply chain that powers Zara's two-week design-to-store model. Lucas and Luna break down the operational choices that let Inditex's flagship brand turn inventory 12 times faster than competitors, why they keep 50% of production in Spain and Portugal despite higher labor costs, and how that speed created a $100 billion fashion empire. Along the way, they explore the trade-offs: higher margins vs. lower waste, data-driven decisions vs. gut instinct, and why 'fast fashion' isn't just a marketing term but a logistics revolution. No theory, just the numbers and decisions that made it work. #Zara #Inditex #FastFashion #SupplyChain #RetailOperations #LeanRetail #InventoryTurnover #SpeedVsEfficiency #FashionLogistics #AmancioOrtega #BusinessExecution #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Operations #SupplyChainStrategy #RetailStrategy #VerticalIntegration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
