This project delves into the problematic dynamics of deliver chain management inside the dynamic style and splendour industry, acknowledging the enterprise's transformative shifts driven by way of globalization, digitalization, and heightened client expectancies. Focusing specifically on challenges faced by startups in this sector, the study underscores the pivotal role of an optimized supply chain in ensuring their success and sustainability. The study unfolds key findings illuminating various aspects such as product overall performance, consumer demographics, operational performance, and delivery dynamics. Notably, the studies demanding situations traditional assumptions through revealing a nuanced courting between manufacturing lead time and charges, prompting a reconsideration of value-effectiveness strategies. The implications of higher disorder rates also are mentioned, emphasizing the essential need for strong best control measures. Strategic recommendations emanating from the study encompass targeted enhancements in production techniques, first-class control protocols, provider choice standards, and logistics techniques. These recommendations are tailored to empower startups in the fashion and beauty sector to attain operational efficiencies, cost financial savings, and heightened consumer delight. Despite precious insights, the studies recognize certain boundaries, inclusive of capability gaps inside the dataset's scope and a confined timeframe. Future studies instructions are recommended to discover the effect of external elements and to comprise customer remarks for a greater holistic information.
