About this diagnostic
What it covers, and how to read the result
Inside the 6 Breakpoints Framework, Production and supply execution drift from the plan is Breakpoint 02. It usually shows up after product data fragments and creates downstream strain across inventory truth, order flow, and reporting.
A weak score here usually means working capital tied up in late production, overpromising on wholesale dates, expedite freight, markdowns, and margin surprises at month-end.
FAQs
Common questions about the diagnostic
It scores five sub-dimensions of Breakpoint 02: lead-time reliability, landed-cost predictability, BOM and tech-pack truth, factory and supplier communication, and incoming-stock confidence. The result identifies which sub-dimension is most exposed and what that drift is costing in working capital, expedite freight, and missed wholesale commitments.
A stage-banded overall score, per-sub-dimension stage with the team that usually raises each one, a named pattern (Lead-time slippage, Landed-cost surprise, BOM drift, Factory email dependence, Committing against fog, Compounding drift), a working-capital exposure estimate, an expedite + markdown estimate, and a shareable URL with no personal data.
The breakpoints assessment is broader and covers all six framework breakpoints. The diagnostic is a focused deep-dive on Breakpoint 02 with diagnostic-specific patterns and dollar-adjacent calculators the broad assessment does not produce.
Apparel brands, typically $5M to $100M, managing in-house production, outsourced factories, or both. Particularly relevant for brands where lead times are unreliable, landed cost is reactive, or wholesale commitments rest on incoming-stock dates the team does not fully trust.
You can still take the diagnostic, the lead-time and landed-cost dimensions still apply to your supplier orders. The outsourced-production deep-dive is skipped automatically.
