Understanding the Factory Education Manual
The Factory Education Manual you have been provided is a guide to help Vendors
educate their Factories on Target\u2019s processes, procedures and requirements. As a
vendor you will be responsible to ensure your factories receive the appropriate
information they need in order to successfully meet Target\u2019s expectations.

The \u201cV/F\u201d logo has been placed throughout the Factory Education Manual. It is
important to understand that this symbol represents key information that should be
shared between the Vendor and the Factory.
\u2022
Factories should partner with their Vendors to ensure you have received and
understood the information documented. Factory questions about content should be
reviewed with their Vendor partner for follow-up.
Note: Many factories work with multiple Target vendors and therefore may receive
multiple copies of this manual if you work with multiple Target Vendors. Please
notify your Vendor partners if you have already received a copy of this manual and
do not want to receive additional copies.
