Flagship Engagement
Fractional Production Director for Fashion Brands
This is not consulting from the sidelines. This is embedded production leadership. A senior production strategist working inside your brand –managing factory relationships, auditing costing, pressure-testing timelines, and catching the risks that cost brands tens of thousands of dollars every season. Kerri has managed four concurrent production lines while owning all buying and purchasing for those lines. She has helped scale an account 10x in a single year by identifying operational inefficiencies that everyone else walked past.
Engagement Structure
A 3-month minimum engagement designed to transform reactive production management into a structured, oversight-driven operation.
Month 1: Full Production Audit + Immediate Risk Stabilization
Complete review of your production operation. Factory communication, costing, timelines, and supplier relationships assessed and stabilized.
Month 2: Systems Implementation + Supplier Alignment
Production systems built and embedded into your operation. Factory relationships structured for accountability, clarity, and consistent delivery.
Month 3: Production Oversight + Optimization
Ongoing production management with continuous oversight. Systems refined, margins protected, and your operation running with precision.
This is not advisory. This is operational leadership embedded inside your business.
What This Engagement Includes
Factory oversight. Direct management of factory communication, production milestones, and quality checkpoints. When other departments are not getting answers from the people they should be, this engagement bridges that gap. Every detail reviewed before it becomes a problem –not after it becomes an expense.
Costing and margin protection. Full production costing audits that expose hidden expenses, validate factory quotes, and ensure your margins are real –not assumptions that erode once invoices arrive.
Production risk management. Timeline pressure-testing, supplier vetting, and pre-production reviews. Identifying the specific risks in your production plan before capital is committed.
Strategic advisory. Ongoing decision support on sourcing, pricing architecture, production sequencing, and factory negotiation. Not reactive problem-solving –a systematic production intelligence that deepens with every season your brand grows.
“Factories will tell you everything is under control. We verify that it actually is –before your capital is on the line.”
What This Replaces
- –Guesswork in factory communication
- –Unverified costing decisions
- –Reactive production management
- –Founder-led problem solving under pressure
Where I Step In
- –Before production orders are placed
- –When factories begin slipping timelines
- –When costing needs validation before approval
- –When teams are not getting clear answers
Factories do not operate based on your brand's priorities. They operate based on their own capacity, margins, and constraints. Without oversight, your brand absorbs the risk.
This Partnership Is Designed For
- –Fashion founders placing production orders between $50K and $500K who need expert production oversight
- –Brands managing multiple factories and complex supply chains without a senior production person reviewing the details
- –Founders who have been burned by factory miscommunication, costing surprises, or timeline failures and refuse to let it happen again
- –Brands that understand production risk management is not optional –it is the difference between profit and loss
This is not general consulting. This is embedded production leadership for brands with significant capital at stake. The longer we work together, the sharper your production operation becomes.
“If you're looking for someone who combines sharp business instincts with strong people skills, someone who brings both order and energy, Kerri's it.”
– C-Suite Executive
Expected Outcome After 90 Days
- –Production system fully structured
- –Costing verified and margin clarity established
- –Supplier communication stabilized
- –Founder no longer operating reactively
Investment
This engagement is application-based and scoped to your brand's specific needs. Investment is discussed during the alignment call and depends on the depth, duration, and complexity of the partnership.
