The textile industry of Daegu used to be pivotal in the economic development and industrialization of Korea, and played a leading role in export during the 1970`s. Recently the city could not sustain the fame and glory of the past because of a lack in information sharing, partnering and R&D. By this reason, this paper tries to show how to settle an efficient supply chain network in the textile industry to enhance international competitiveness on the basis of the results of questionnaire. To achieve the purpose of the research, 161 firms were investigated, classified by yarn manufacture, weaving manufacture, sub- contracted weaving manufacture, dying manufacture and converter & textile- exporting firms. After analysis, the following characteristics were exploited : Most important partners in the future related to production were chosen by the order of yarn manufacture, dying mattufacture, weaving manufacture and converter & textile-exporting firms. The percentage of selection in a multiple choice were 58%, 52.9%, 49% and 40.7% respectively. And most important partners in the future related to sales were chosen by the order of converter & textile-exporting firms, dying manufacture, yarn manufacture and weaving manufacture. Furthermore, it was found that information sharing and dying-technology improving were the most urgent activities to enhance competitiveness and product quality in the supply chain. In conclusion, four supply chain models were suggested, such as core-function -strengthening model, just-in-time for textile, distribution-focused model and textileproduction-development-unit.
