Pechoux, Beatrice Le. "A Pattern Language Describing Apparel Design Creativity." NCSU, 2000. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/theses/available/etd-20000404-214300.
Full textThe apparel design process involves gathering and analyzing information on fashion trends, markets, past line sales and editing ideas for successful combinations of fabric, style and price. These ideas are the result of creativity. Creativity is most often modeled as a problem solving process involving complex chaotic systems. In the fields of architecture and software design, pattern languages have been developed to help understand the various fundamental components and dynamics of complex systems by using a series of related generic problem-solving patterns empirically proven to be successful in a specified context of forces. Patterns record existing knowledge to make it rapidly and easily accessible and communicated between different users. The research objective of this dissertation was to develop a pattern language describing the initial creative phase of the apparel design process. First, an archetype of the initial creative process in apparel design was constructed based on the literature reviewed to integrate the intervening marketing and design components, and suggest a set of links between these components and the various stages of the process. Second, patterns describing these links and the archetype were developed to form a pattern language representing the dynamics of the archetypal model, i.e. the articulation and interdependencies of all its components and stages. Design professionals reviewed the pattern language. Students used it to develop product concepts and storyboards, which were evaluated by a panel of judges. Feedback from these participants indicates the pattern language offers a "design manual" that can be used by all team members to improve design efficiency and effectiveness, i.e. higher success rates of new products in a timely manner. Combining information technology and the pattern language could make an even greater contribution to apparel design, both at an operational level and a strategic planning level. This research provides a working example of a pattern language and shows the benefits to be attained. Also, the dissertation includes a guide on constructing pattern languages in the hope of reaching the ultimate goal of encouraging industry and academic apparel design experts to contribute to the necessary ongoing developments of the pattern language.

Scudder, Crescent. "South Africa's cotton supply chain from farm to retail| Applying the triple top line to sustainable apparel supply chains." Thesis, University of Delaware, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1567825.
Full textGrowing concerns over the environmental and social impacts related to the production of clothing and textiles have created a need for more discussion about supply chain practices. Currently, there are no guidelines or strategies for addressing sustainable supply chains in the apparel industry that minimize environmental impacts and uphold socially responsible practices. This exploratory case study traces an apparel supply chain, with a focus on cotton, in South Africa that is under a development strategy to create a sustainable supply chain from farm to retail. In-depth interviews were conducted across the supply chain, including cotton farmers, cotton gins, a cotton yarn manufacturer, a textile mill, an apparel manufacturer, and a retailer. The purpose of the study was to gain an understanding of the business decisions at each node of the supply chain that influence the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainability by applying the triple top line model (McDonough & Braungart, 2002). This study identifies strengths and weaknesses in sustainable practices that adhere to the triple top line model within each node of the supply chain. Results found economic factors were drivers for good social and environmental practices, with the latter being the smallest segment of the three. The study makes recommendations for improving practices at each node of the supply chain and recommendations for strategies for developing sustainable apparel supply chains.

Full textIn the last years, Brazil has experienced an increase in the clothing consumption. The entrance of a large number of people into a certain consumption level brought a series of opportunities to the domestic textile industry. Not only the retail clothing market became more sophisticated but the textile-clothing chain had to adapt to the new reality: a production model based on speed and price. This paper, from the analysis that encompasses productive processes and the garment retail sector in the city of São Paulo, tries to explain how retail legitimizes its product as fashion. Therefore, we listed three essential factors to the analysis of our subject, the retail fashion: i) how did the existing retail model come to life and develop. At this stage, we take the history of three department stores extremely important to the history of retail in the city and even in the country: Casa Alemã, Mappin, and Mesbla. We also included two neighborhoods that were the building blocks of the textile industry in São Paulo Brás and Bom Retiro. ii) how the textile-clothing chain of São Paulo has adapted its production means to keep up with the market changes. Here we analyze quantitative data from RAIS and the material about this subject found in the literature, iii) how the manufacturing and sales stakeholders operate in the retail fashion. We interviewed two representatives of production and distribution core functions in retail fashion: one apparel manufacturer - R Confecções and one department store, Riachuelo. This research follows Patrik Aspers theoretical referential, a Swiss researcher whose investigation focus is the European retail fashion market. The tools presented by this author allows us to understand how retail fashion markets are created and organized.

Full textThe inherent dynamism of fashion exposes supply chains to a constant challenge: managing the relationship with multiple agents involved in a long productive lead time, while meeting the yearnings for frequent novelties at the point of sale. The Textile and Apparel Production Chain (TAPC) anticipates trends, within two years, and directs to their factories a flow of original products into shapes, materials, colors and prints. However, it is in retail that the success, or failure, of a fashion collection becomes clear and has its greatest impacts of uncertainty. On the other hand, fast fashion is notorious for solving this problem, shortening production cycles and postponing production finishes, in a supply chain that responds to retail requests, with constant information exchanges. This business model becomes, in the bibliographic review, a good example of applying the practices of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in fashion, with recurring examples of brands from the United Kingdom, Sweden, the United States, Italy and Spain. Arises interest in checking how the TAPC agents of Brazil interact, comparing traditional and fast-fashion collections, and whether they are able to apply the guidelines of the SCM. A multiple case study in 4 companies, 2 in a traditional model and 2 fast fashion, leads to results that confirm the literature in retail practices, while differing, especially in productive methods, leading to inquiries about the adaptation of international parameters to the local scenario

In order to have reacted to cancel the quota restrictions by WTO since 2005, and the globalization of competition, the textile and apparel industry needs the closer cooperation between the company and the place of the production, the better ability to management the global logistics, the quicker response to the customer and the demand from the market, and to handle and forecast the trend to the market. Therefore, the textile and apparel industry must have a new business model to help it. The concept of CPFR (Collaboration Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment) proposed by VICS (Voluntary Inter-industry Commerce Standards) in 1998 had been adopted in many enterprises and it had proved it`s performance. The main spirit of CPFR is to emphasize the sharing of the information among participating partners, and through these information to deal with the Collaboration forecasting. Following this process it can improve the accuracy of forecasting and the efficiency in supply chain. In this study we proposed a CPFR sales forecasting model for the textile and apparel industry. This CPFR process is based on a category management process and takes the former literatures and industrial practices as references. Through this process, we analysis different kinds of categories by using the SOM(Self Organization Map) classification algorithm and develop the different kinds of sales forecasting models by using BPN(Back-propagation network) algorithm . Furthermore, we take the real case for testing and verifying. The result of simulation can offer references to enterprise when making practical decisions.

Michael E Porter ‘s research showed that winning firms made one of two strategic choices. One choice is market differentiation — giving the customers added value in quality, service and product differentiation so that they are prepared to pay a premium to cover higher costs. The primary current strategy of the Taiwan apparel industry is to shift a growing share of its production offshore, while reducing domestic production. Other strategies employed by Taiwan apparel firms include establishment of strategic partnerships with major retailers (particularly supply chain management)。Taiwan apparel industry must give customers service and value. They have to do this better than the surrounding countries —like Vietnam、Thailand 、China 、Cambodia…etc where doing business is a lot cheaper than here. They must to provide services to the supply chain — any service that the customers want. They will also try to anticipate what they need in the future. As a Taiwan’s apparel manufacturer, they have to change the image from a manufacturing company to become a service company.This study is referred to “Customer-Centered Supply Chain Management Change Process “ which was developed by Fred A. Kuglin (1998)。With a successful case of ITT Textile Manufacturing Co., Ltd , a step - by — step methodology is developed for apparel manufacturers to innovate and implement the supply chain management. There are five parts including Organizational assessment 、“To-Be” model of desired future state、“As-Is” Model of current state、Migration plan from “As-Is” to “To-Be” and Implementation in this study. To detail how the information technology like EDI、Bar Code、UCC128 can be used to improve the information flow, and how an effective computerized replenishment modular,Accurate pick and pack system can be used for cross-docking to eliminate non value-added process in the goods flow、 to keep the lean inventory in the stores and to shorten the total replenishment time from orders received to garments arrived at stores. Key words : Market differentiation,Supply Chain Management,EDI,UCC128,Cross-Docking。

Full textO conhecimento constitui uma fonte de vantagem competitiva no actual ambiente turbulento dos negócios. Gerir o conhecimento é uma tarefa complexa, difícil e exigente. A gestão do conhecimento é assumida como uma parte integrante e fundamental da estratégia que envolve quatro actividades – codificação, criação, transferência e armazenamento – e seis características: subjectividade, transferência, sedimentação, auto–valorização, perecibilidade e espontaneidade. A coordenação destas variáveis potencia a excelência organizacional. A gestão eficaz do conhecimento permite diferenciar, inovar e criar vantagem competitiva. Esta constatação foi analisada através de um estudo empírico efectuado junto de oito actores institucionais da indústria têxtil e do vestuário portuguesa. Com o objectivo de observar as características identificadas e compreender de que forma os oito actores estudados codificam, criam, transferem e armazenam conhecimento, foram estudadas as relações diádicas existentes entre o Centro Tecnológico da Indústria Têxtil e do Vestuário (CITEVE) e cada um dos restantes sete actores estudados, bem como a respectiva rede institucional, delimitadapor estes actores em torno do CITEVE. No total, foram realizadas 19 entrevistas. O estudo mostra que as relações diádicas e a cooperação em rede são importantes para obter valor acrescentado na criação e na transferência do conhecimento. A concentração é reforçada pela proximidade física e/ou institucional entre actores e pela criação de centros de conhecimento como, por exemplo, a escola tecnológica do têxtil. Através deste esforço, a rede estudada procura concentrar saberes complementares e multidisciplinares no sentido de promover conhecimento tácito e explícito, e contribuir para desenvolver a inovação na indústria têxtil e do vestuário portuguesa.
Knowledge is a source of competitive advantage in the nowadays turbulent environment. Managing knowledge is a complex, difficult, and demanding task. Knowledge management, as a crucial element of strategy, comprises four activities – codification, creation, transference, and storage – and six characteristics: subjectivity, transferability, sedimentation, auto-valuation, perishablity, and spontaneity. Managing these variables develops differentiation, innovation, and competitive advantage. This was analysed through an empirical study with eight institutional actors from the Portuguese textile and apparel industry. Aiming to study the mentioned characteristics and to understand how the eight actors codify, create, transfer, and storage their knowledge, it were studied the dyadic relationships between Centro Tecnológico da Indústria Têxtil e do Vestuário (CITEVE) and each of the other seven actors, as well as the institutional network having CITEVE as the focal actor and comprising the remaining seven actors. It were carried out 19 interviews. The study shows that dyadic relationships and network cooperation are important to add value in the processes of knowledge creation and transference. This conclusion is supported by the physical and/or institutional proximity between actors and on the launch of knowledge centres such as a school of textile technology. Through this effort, the studied network aims to focus on complementary and multidisciplinary know-how, and to promote tacit and explicit knowledge, as well as to develop innovation in the Portuguese textile and apparel industry.
La connaissance constitue une source d'avantage compétitif dans l'actuel environnement turbulent des affaires. Faire la gestion de la connaissance est une fonction complexe, difficile et très exigeante. La gestion de la connaissance est assumée comme une partie intégrante et fondamentale de la stratégie, qui conceme quatre activités - la codification, la création, le transfèrement et le magasinage - et six caractéristiques: la subjectivité, le transfèrement, la sédimentation, l'auto valorisation, le dépérissement et la spontanéité. La coordination de ces variables développe I'excellence organisationnelle. La gestion efficace de la connaissance permet de distinguer, d'innover et de créer l'avantage compétitif. Cette constatation a été analysée à travers une étude empirique effectuée à huit acteurs institutionnels de l'industrie textile et de vêtement portugaise. Ayant l'objectif d'observer les caractéristiques identifiées et de comprendre la façon dont les huit acteurs étudiés codifient, créent, transferent et magasinent la connaissance, ont été étudiées les relations dyadiques existantes entre le Centre Technologique de l' Industrie Textile et de Vêtement (CITEVE) et chacun des autres sept acteurs étudiés, aussi bien que le respectif réseau institutionnel, délimité par ces acteurs autour du CITEVE. Dix-neuf entrevues ont été réalisées. L' étude nous fait voir que les relations dyadiques et la coopération en réseau sont relevantes pour obtenir valeur accroit dans la création et transferement de la connaissance. La concentration est renforcée par la proximité physique et/ou institutionnelle entre acteurs et par la création de centres de connaissance, tels que l'École Technologique du Textile. C'est par cet effort que le réseau étudié cherche à concentrer des savoirs complémentaires et multidisciplinaires, au sens de promouvoir la connaissance tacite et explicite, et encore contribuer au développement de l'innovation dans l'industrie textile et du vêtement portugaise.

Full textA presente dissertação resultou da realização de um projeto individual em ambiente industrial, no âmbito do 5º ano do Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial. O objetivo deste trabalho recaiu sobre a melhoria do processo produtivo de uma empresa (Acatel), que presta serviços na área do enobrecimento têxtil (tinturaria, acabamentos e estamparia a metro), aplicando ferramentas Lean Production. A metodologia utilizada no desenvolvimento do projeto foi a Action-research por se considerar ser a mais adequada ao caso em questão, dado que o investigador possuiu um papel ativo no projeto. Deste modo, a investigação perpetrou-se nas cinco etapas que compõem esta metodologia: diagnóstico e definição do problema, planeamento das ações, implementação das ações, avaliação dos resultados e especificação da aprendizagem. A investigação foi iniciada com uma revisão bibliográfica acerca do Lean Production, Total Productive Maintenance e do indicador Overall Equipment Effectiveness. Durante as fases de diagnóstico e análise crítica do sistema produtivo, foram detetados alguns problemas como a existência de um elevado número de desperdícios, de reclamações e de não-conformes, de um valor de quebras de malha acima do esperado, de desorganização transversal à empresa, de falta de segurança nas máquinas de estampar rotativas, e da inexistência de planeamento da produção. Assim, foram desenvolvidas propostas de melhoria para os problemas encontrados, que passaram pelo registo e estudo das quebras de malha, dos defeitos e das reclamações, pela introdução de planeamento da produção e de kaizen diário, pela inclusão de gestão visual e de 5S, pela aplicação de Total Productive Maintenance e do indicador Overall Equipment Effectiveness, pela implementação de um sistema de humidificação da malha, e de câmaras nas máquinas de estampar. A implementação destas propostas não foi possível, no entanto, estima-se que com a sua realização seria possível diminuir as esperas em 18%, encurtar o lead time em 16%, reduzir o número de reclamações em 40%, e de não-conformes em 62%, aumentar a produtividade e a flexibilidade do sistema produtivo, e aumentar a moral, o envolvimento e a segurança dos colaboradores. Os ganhos monetários relacionados a estas melhorias seriam da ordem dos 680.891,00€/ano aos 702.095,00€/ano, com um Return of investment de entre 7 a 8 meses.
The present dissertation was the result of an individual project in an industrial environment, within the scope of the 5th year of the Integrated Master in Industrial Engineering and Management. The objective of this work was to improve the production process of a textile finishing (dyeing, finishing and textile printing) company (Acatel), using Lean Production tools. The methodology used in the development of the project was Action-research because it was considered to be the most appropriated to the case in question, given the fact that the researcher has an active role in the project. Thus, the investigation was carried out in the five steps that comprise this methodology: diagnosis and definition of the problem, planning of actions, implementation of actions, evaluation of results and specification of learning. The research began with a literature review on Lean Production, on Total Productive Maintenance and on Overall Equipment Effectiveness. During the diagnosis and critical analysis of the production system some problems were detected, such as the existence of a high number of wastes, a huge number of complaints and nonconformities, a value of above-expected mesh breakdowns, cross-company disorganization, lack of security in the textile printing rotary machines, and the inexistence of production planning in textile finishing. Thus, proposals for improving the problems encountered were developed. Improvements included registration and study of mesh breakdowns, defects and complaints, introduction of production planning and of daily kaizen, inclusion of visual management and of 5S program, application of the Total Productive Maintenance philosophy and the of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness indicator, implementation of a system to humidify the mesh, and implementation of cameras in the textile printing rotary machines. The implementation of this proposals could reduce waiting in about 18%, shorten the lead time in 16%, decrease the number of complaints in about 40%, and of nonconformities in 62%, enhance productivity and flexibility of the production system, and increase moral, engagement and safety oh the employees. The monetary gains related to these improvements can be from 680.891,00€ per year to 702.095,00€ per year, with a Return of Investment of 7 to 8 months.
