How Should Brands Divide a 500-Piece Activewear Order Across Sizes?

A 500-piece order should follow expected size demand rather than equal size allocation.

Inventory decisions should use customer demand and realistic reorder opportunities rather than a standard assortment formula. Separate minimum purchasing requirements from desired selling quantities, and document ownership, storage, and future use of any materials purchased beyond the initial production need. Use fit tests and purchasing data to set ratios.
