THEOMEI APPAREL COMPANY PROFILE Theomei Apparel is a
South African manufacturing company founded in 2015 in
Mahube Valley, Mamelodi East, Pretoria by Theodosia Bambo, a
single mother of two who has a background in the construction
industry. The company specialises in producing tailor-made and
bespoke scrubs for the medical and beauty industries. Theomei
Apparel started as a reseller but later ventured into
manufacturing, after spotting a gap in the market for locally
made scrubs. With a small but dedicated team, the company
set up a small factory in Bambo's garage and they enrolled in a
short course to enhance their skills. Theomei Apparel has
secured contracts with health and beauty spas, a pharmacy and
Medunsa, and is currently incubated at The Innovation Hub.
The company's long-term goal is to establish a shop at a health
university and become the leader in providing bespoke scrubs
to hospitals. MNM3709/105/2/2024 6 QUESTION 1 [12 MARKS]

QUESTION 1: Analysis of Theomei Apparel's External
Environment
, 1. Economic Environment
Theomei Apparel operates in an environment where
economic factors such as inflation, interest rates, and the
overall economic health of South Africa play a significant
role. Given that Theomei's core business is manufacturing,
rising costs of raw materials due to inflation could affect
their profitability. Additionally, the economic recovery
post-COVID-19 may impact demand for medical and
beauty industry scrubs. A positive economic environment,
with increasing demand for healthcare services, could lead
to growth opportunities, while high unemployment rates
may enable the company to source affordable labor.
2. Technological Environment
Technological advancements present both opportunities
and challenges for Theomei Apparel. The company could
leverage modern sewing and fabric-cutting technologies to
increase production efficiency. However, it must remain up
to date with the latest developments in fabric technology,
such as antimicrobial or eco-friendly materials, which are
increasingly demanded by the medical and beauty
industries. Adopting e-commerce platforms to increase
online sales and implementing software solutions for
managing orders and inventory could further streamline
operations.
3. Political and Legal Environment
