Stock Option Plan, Design Option Plan and Range Plan

This course is designed for professionals working in product management, collection planning, and strategic stock allocation—especially in retail.

You will learn the stock option concept, how planning is built around store capacity, and how these plans connect to design and product breadth.

Together we will analyse how Option Plan and Range Plan approaches ground decisions at the start of the season and throughout the season.

You will also learn to use the Boston Matrix (BCG model) to define products' strategic positions and decide which lines to support and which to exit—explained in a clear, practical way.

Supported by applied examples, industry insight, and field-tested methods, this course delivers decision systems you can use in daily operations—not theory alone.

Who is this for?

• Planning, buying, product management, category management, and retail strategy teams
• Professionals in fashion, ready-to-wear, home textiles, and fast-moving consumer goods
• Design and R&D teams who want to contribute strategically to the collection process

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Plan the right product mix based on store capacity
• Shape stock distribution using customer insight and performance
• Interpret the option concept as a strategy—not only as units
• Evaluate your product portfolio objectively with the Boston Matrix
• Build range plans from data, not intuition

All sections are presented clearly with voice narration.
