dc.description.abstract |
The Sri Lankan garment manufacturing industry needs to become competitive in
terms of pricing with the phasing out of the Multi Fibre Agreement and threat of
losing the GSP+ advantage. However, it is difficult for the garment manufacturing
companies to identify their weaknesses in pricing due to lack of information on
competitor’s prices and thus it is difficult to improve the pricing area.//This study focuses on Sri Lankan apparel manufacturing industry and it reviews the
pricing practices in garment manufacturing industry. The current pricing process of
the garment manufacturing industry was identified using literature review, interview,
questionnaire and observational studies and discussed in the thesis. This also includes
the analysed data of the questionnaire survey which was designed to identify the
current pricing methods and it was concluded that the Sri Lankan garment
manufacturers are using either purely cost plus pricing or a hybrid pricing system with
cost plus pricing with slight market based approach.//Further this thesis includes a SWOT analysis which was used to identify the
weaknesses and the possible improvement in existing pricing system, when
developing the alternative pricing strategies. The study identifies some possible
alternative pricing strategies in the forms of pricing models and some detailed cost
estimation models to use with them. Further the study builds a pricing audit system
which facilitates the garment manufacturing companies to identify their current
pricing strategies and to identify the areas of improvement |
