REPEAT / BUYING DECISIONS
Repeat orders & changes.
Identify the previous approved revision, reconcile changes and capture feedback before reordering. A familiar style name alone does not define a repeat production specification.
Discuss a repeat batch- Use this when
- You are repeating a style or changing a previous batch, and need to preserve the correct baseline.
- Work towards
- A repeat-order brief that identifies the prior revision, requested changes and release checks.
