Range Plans - What to include

The purpose of a range plan is to compile a commercially acceptable collection of garments within financial and design parameters, prior to production.
These are a number of criteria that need to be included in a range plan in order for the buyer to get a clear view of the planned collection.

• Number of garments to be included in the range
• Proportion of different types of garments to be included (tops to bottoms, fashion to classic styles)
• Specific garment styles to be included
• Fabrics and colourways added for each garment
• Cost price for each garment
• Selling price for each garment
• Order quantities per style
• Sizes to be ordered
• Manufacturer used

Here is an example of a range plan which has been used in industry. However, there is no set way of presenting a range plan, but I prefer ones that are more visual with garment images and fabric swatches.
