Critical Paths
Every great product starts with a plan — and in fashion, timing is everything. From initial concept to final delivery, a well-managed critical path keeps your collection on track, deadlines met, and stress levels low.
At Studio Loom, we specialise in building and managing critical paths that give you full visibility over your product development process. Whether you’re launching your first collection or managing multiple styles across categories, we create clear, achievable timelines that align design, development, and production.
Too often, delays happen because tasks overlap, communication breaks down, or key milestones are missed. With experience across countless product calendars, we know how to anticipate these challenges — and how to keep your project moving smoothly from sketch to shipment.
Our critical path services include:
Custom-built timelines tailored to your brand, product range, and supplier base
Guidance on realistic lead times across design, sampling, approvals, and production
Ongoing tracking and updates to keep your team and suppliers aligned
Critical path reviews to identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency
A well-planned critical path doesn’t just save time — it builds trust with your suppliers, keeps costs under control, and ensures your products launch exactly when they should.
