As we know that Asst Merchandisers are hired to support his senior, he has to work under him. Senior merchandiser make the planning for each style, based on delivery date and construction of the garment. There is are always 50-60 running styles, which is handled by the Senior Merchandiser. so he/she can not process all styles together in same stages. means if there are 50 running styles, then Senior merchandiser can not put all 50 styles in the cutting/stitching/embroidery etc together, then all styles will stuck in one department. That’s why he makes the different planning for the styles, based on its construction. some styles may be just cut and sew, some may have embroidery and some may have heavy embellishment work on the garment. so he plans plain styles to send directly for the cutting & sewing and others are sent for the embroidery/embellishment work. so assistant merchandiser has to follow the instruction/planning of his senior merchandiser.
