Abstract:

The production of textiles has a strong impact on the environment due to both over-consumption and the practice of production processes requiring the use of substances to manufacture, treat, and dye fabrics. In this context, finding new ways and solutions to transform used textiles into by-products or inputs for production is a trump card for the future of the textile sector. This may be accomplished by developing a circular economy policy, which involves large investments with a payoff only in a medium to long-term perspective. The main aim of the present work is to provide a set of guidelines to guide textile industries in the transition from traditional production processes to a systemic approach in consideration of the circular economy. This could leverage the efficient use of regenerated wool, the reduction (or lack) of waste production, and the management of the end-of-life of the product.

Abstract:

The article is aimed at diagnosing the costs of textile industry enterprises and developing economic strategies for innovative competitiveness of enterprises focused on the growth of their results. In terms of dynamic approach to the growth rate of value added volumes the article allocates the following sub-sectors - leaders and outsiders. In terms of structural approach, it is shown that the bulk of the value added accounts for the production of other textile products, primarily the production of finished textiles, except clothing. The overall tendency of textile production to increase positive financial results during 2010-2019 is statistically proved. The sub-sectors with cumulative losses and the greatest contribution to the formation of the financial result of the textile industry are allocated. The tendency of all types of textile production to increase the proportion of profitable enterprises is identified. It is shown that there are no large enterprises in the textile industry, and the main share of the financial result is formed by medium-sized enterprises, except for the production of finished textile products, apart from clothing, and other textile products for technical and industrial purposes. The main economic strategies of innovative competitiveness of textile industry enterprises are substantiated.

Abstract:

Abstract Research purpose. Identify the main textile exporters in the global world that would have the greatest impact on the development of geared textiles. Design / Methodology / Approach. TOPSIS analysis has been applied as the most widely used efficiency measurement technique. The six criteria in the current research have been selected to describe the leading players in textiles globally and are available in a public database. In addition to the TOPSIS analysis, a clustering method has been employed to identify distinct groups among the countries under examination. Through this clustering analysis, countries with similar characteristics and practices. Findings. The analysis of the textile and clothing industry has revealed the top ten economies that make the most significant contributions to global textile production. Through a comprehensive assessment based on predetermined criteria, these economies have been closely scrutinised, resulting in the European Union securing the leading position, followed by Malaysia in second place and China in the third. The leading position of the European Union can be attributed to its robust economic infrastructure, strong policy frameworks promoting sustainability, and a growing commitment to circular economy principles within the textile sector. Malaysia's second-place position may be influenced by its strategic investments in the textile industry, favourable business environment, and initiatives to foster sustainable practices. China's third-place ranking can be attributed to its substantial textile manufacturing capacity, extensive supply chains, and efforts to integrate circular economy principles into its textile production. The research findings indicate that several factors influence the rankings, including the level of economic development, technological advancements, population size, availability of cheap labour, and the influence of fashion trends, among others. Originality / Value / Practical implications. The circular textile industry is a relatively new field, with the European Commission announcing the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles in 2022. This strategic initiative aims to propel the development and adoption of circular textile practices throughout the European Union, setting a benchmark for other regions to follow. It is important to underline that the study was carried out on a global scale in order to assess the world's main textile exporters. In order to assess the progress of circular textiles, we employ the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method. This approach allows us to rank and assess countries based on their implementation of strategies and initiatives for developing a circular textile industry. Furthermore, we utilise a clustering method to identify distinct groups or patterns within the data, enabling a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences among countries in their circular textile. This clustering analysis helps identify clusters of countries that exhibit similar characteristics or practices, facilitating the identification of best practices, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among countries within each cluster. The findings of this study hold significant value and practical implications for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers.

Abstract:

Textile and textile’s product play an important role in the Indonesian economy. During the last five years, however, share of these industries and commodities to gross domestic product tend to decrease. The objectives of this study are to analyze factors affecting Indonesian textile and textile’s product, and the prospect of Indonesian textile and textile’s product in the future. Results of the study show that domestic textile production was affected by world cotton price and wage rate, while the domestic garment production was affected by wage rate in the garment sector. Indonesia’s textile export to world market was influenced by domestic textile price, and Indonesia’s export garment was influenced by exchange rate (Rp/US$). Indonesian textile demand was affected by wage rate and domestic garment demand was affected by income per capita of Indonesia. In general, the prospect of Indonesian textile and textile’s product seems not too good. In fact, Indonesian textile and textile’s product had depended on high import cotton, investment, and exchange rate. So why, economy policies are still needed to accelerate Indonesian textile and textile’s product developmentJEL Classification: C53, E60, F43, and F4.Keywords: export, open economy, forecasting, simulation, textile and textile’s product.

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been an increase in the production of textiles and clothing, which is the result of an increase in the global population and an improvement in living standards. The consequence of this fact is the unlimited use of resources for the needs of the production process of textiles and clothing, as well as an increase in the amount of generated textile waste, which is currently not treated adequately. For the textile industry to have a chance in the future to take advantage of environmental, economic and social opportunities that it is currently unable to do, it is necessary to transform the current, linear system into a circular system. The paper presents the possibility of implementing the basic principles of the circular economy in the textile and clothing industry. According to the principles of the circular economy, the textile industry is based on the realization of four activities: elimination of unwanted substances and release (emission) of microfibers, increasing the utilization of clothing, improving the recycling sector, efficient use of resources and switching to renewable sources.

Abstract:

Comfort is a state of mind affected by many factors, and clothing has contributing to the well being of man, changing in some cases his customs. Since the origin, the primary functions of clothes have been of protection against cold or in general against environmental stimuli. New functions are required to modern textiles: wearing comfort, durability, cleaning properties, optimized functionality for specific applications (workwear, sportswear, medical wear). Smart and interactive textiles represent a budding interdisciplinary field that brings together specialists in information technology, micro systems, materials engineering, and production technology. The focus of this new area is on developing the enabling technologies and fabrication techniques for the economical production of flexible, conformable and large-area textile- based information systems that are expected to have more applications for different end users. The smart and interactive textiles will be highly applied in the next generation of fibres, fabrics and items produced from them. Application of smart textiles can be now found everywhere. The market and the business of wearable, interactive and smart textiles are presently changing the basis of the textile industry. The changes are dynamic knowledge transfer, innovative systems, new employment opportunities in the smart industries and others. Business possibilities are not limited to the textile industry, but they can be found in almost any line of business. The European textile sector is one of the mainstays of the European Manufacturing Industry. The market for smart textiles is one of the most dynamic and fast growing sectors and offers huge potential for companies.

Abstract:

The Textile Industry is one of the largest industrial sectors and the fifth largest exporter of the textiles employing 45 million workers in India. The Indian textile industry has changed its ways in the production of finished textiles, Energy is involved in each of stage processing. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the energy efficiency of the processes in the textile industry and identify opportunities for improvement in the process involving raw fabric to the finished textile product. The energy efficiency determination in an industry can be evaluated by the energy consumption of the respective process equipment in an industry which includes the performance evaluation of the textile manufacturing processes. This paper describes the operations in textile manufacturing such as weaving, yarn production, spinning, drying, and also the significance of PAT schemes in energy improvement opportunities for various industries, including the technical improvement studies and also provides the brief description on validating various unit operations and respective parameters that affect the performance of various process equipment such as stenter, heaters, compressors, motors, and other non-production equipment. This review paper also described the impact of PAT cycle 1 in validating the energy intensity of technologies used in textile industries and some important measures required to improve the energy efficiency of a process as this could improve the functioning of the system. The best available techniques in the process has also been discussed in the sections which can be implemented in practice for improving the energy efficiency of the processes.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study is to comprehend the efficiency levels of the Indian textile industry and also its sub-sectors in the light of changing global and national business environment. It is imperative to study the efficiency levels of textile industry for an emerging economy like India, where the industry contributes up to 13 per cent in export earnings, 10 per cent in total industrial production and 2 per cent in gross domestic product (GDP). The study holds an important place in the wake of phasing out of the quota regime existing under the Multi Fibre Agreement (MFA) and the rising competition being faced from countries such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia. Design/methodology/approach The present study attempts to have an in-depth analysis of the efficiency levels in the Indian textile industry using meta-frontier data envelopment analysis, which is a non-parametric linear programming based frontier technique. Findings The findings highlight that the Indian textile industry is inefficient and has a huge scope of improvement in terms of efficiency. It also confirms the existence of different production functions among the sub-sectors of the industry. Among the different sub-sectors, the proximity of production frontier of readymade garments is the closest to meta-frontier followed by cotton and blended yarn, man-made fibre, cloth and others. Practical implications The findings bear strong implications for the policymakers in their attempt to regain the lost competitive position of the Indian textile industry and to enhance its contribution in the economy. As per the findings, policymakers should target the relatively inefficient sub-sectors of textile industry (cloth, man-made fibre, cotton and blended yarn) to infuse more efficiency in these sectors to enhance the market share of the Indian textile industry in the global textiles market. Originality/value The current study is a unique addition to the sparse literature on managing efficiencies in the textile industry, particularly of emerging economy like India. Looking at the methodological and geographical coverage of the previous work, it was found that no study has explored and analysed the efficiencies of the sub-sectors in the Indian textile industry using meta-frontier analysis. Therefore, this study will be the first of its kind which seeks to fill such gaps and intends to enrich the available literature.

Abstract:

The implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Canada, and Mexico created a barrier-free production and trade zone in North America. Surrounding the implementation of NAFTA, a great volume of public, political, and academic attention was given to the impact of the agreement on the aging U.S. textile industry with high labor costs. The major NAFTA provisions, the elimination of tariffs and quotas and rules of origin, were predicted to create and divert U.S. trade in textile goods and expand domestic textile production activities. Since its implementation, however, volatile macroeconomic and political environmental changes have severely interfered with the role of NAFTA. Over ten years have passed since the implementation of NAFTA. The objectives of this research are to investigate the pattern of the U.S. textile industry's production activities under NAFTA and to determine the impact of the agreement on the industry's production activities. This research consists of two parts. Part I is a qualitative analysis that investigates changes in the industry's trade and production activities under NAFTA based on the review of literature and trade and industry data. Part II of this research, a quantitative analysis, applies a normalized restricted translog profit model to the textile industry's production activities under the influence of NAFTA in order to identify the pattern of the industry's output supply and input demand and to determine the impact of NAFTA on the industry. The outcomes of these analyses are used to make an overall assessment of the impact of NAFTA on the U.S. textile industry and draw policy implications. The outcome of the qualitative analysis suggests NAFTA as an effective policy in expanding and regionalizing U.S. trades in textile goods and promoting domestic textile production activities in the early years of implementation. Since the late 1990s, however, macroeconomic and political changes have dominated over the role of NAFTA, partially undoing the changes in U.S. textile trade and production activities made in the early years of the agreement. The outcome of quantitative analysis identifies the significant, but negative effect, of NAFTA on the U.S. textile industry's profit performance in the early years of NAFTA, probably due to intensified import competition, fall of real output prices, and numerous mill closings. Overall, NAFTA is recognized as a short-term, transitional policy measure for the U.S. textile industry because of the limited importance of Mexico in U.S. textile trade, the short period of NAFTA implementation, and several dynamic environmental factors including exchange rate changes, U.S. signings of multiple regional trade agreements, and the emerging dominance of China in world textile trade under the phase-out of the Multi-fiber Arrangement that have changed international and domestic textile market competition. Ultimately, this study concludes that a trade policy is not likely to provide a long-term solution for the survival of U.S. textile industry.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to explore the development of Swedish fashion between 1930 and 1960 by examining the textile and clothing industry from the wider perspective of fashion production. It was during this period that Sweden was transformed into a leading industrial nation, which laid the foundation for increased prosperity in the post-war period. This historical and empirical study is predominantly based on systematic analysis of Swedish official statistics and close reading of the fashion press. The thesis applies a combination of approaches in the analytical chapters (chapter 2–4) that include three central aspects of fashion production: manufacturing, symbolic production, and the production of a national fashion. Chapter 2 gives an account of the industrial production of clothing and examines the scope, size and structure of the textile and clothing industry. The results confirm its importance to the Swedish economy in the period. One important finding shows that a shift in production from tailored outerwear to lighter garments occurred as early as the mid-1950s. Chapter 3 investigates the symbolic production of fashion by looking at the structure of the field of fashion in Sweden. The results show a French dominance where couturiers were celebrated as creative ‘artists’. A significant finding is how the idea of Swedish fashion was considered a process of creating economic value, as in clothing manufacturing. Chapter 4 deals with fashion as an expression of national culture. The result reveals a significant fashion culture associated with an everyday wear fashion that followed the Social Democratic reforms aimed at equality in society during the period. One important finding is that the wool coat was the hallmark of Swedish fashion identity in the post-war period. These results contribute to a broader understanding of fashion production and new insights into the history of its developments in Sweden between 1930 and 1960, which has gone largely unrecognised by previous fashion historians.

Abstract:

The intention of this work was to examine the infra-structure of a medium-sized Greek textile manufacturing enterprise. The Organisation became a leading acrylic blanket producer at national level, as a result of the management's receptivity to transfer of the highest standards of technology and expertise. The business was geared to the quality end of the market and offered its customers a high added value range of products. At the initiation of the systems study, the problem was conceived as one of inadequate production planning and stock control procedures. The high customer service level policy was accomplished through substantial stockholding on the part Of the firm and resulted in inventories being the company's highest current assets component. A systems approach to the operations of the Organisation indicated problems of information discontinuity, while barriers of communication were caused by lack of clear objectives. Analysis of the existed procedures led to the creation of three new sub-systems: the production scheduling, the quality control and the marketing departments. Material and information closed-loop controls were established and job description systems were introduced. An internal management reporting system was designed to facilitate improved decision making - In the implementation stage the author concentrated on training the systems/users while operational difficulties were resolved during actual running. The project's objective was the development of an open system which would maintain dynamic equilibrium with its surrounding environment. Planning and control procedures made the internal sub-systems interactions controllable, but the external changes created difficulty. Growing recession and government austerity policies exercised considerable influence on the operations of the system/organisation. company viability was safeguarded, a make-to-order policy was Pursued and a new business structure was created. This work is considered to exemplify the Greek industrial sector and the difficulties which will be experienced in deploying modern management methods in Greek manufacturing industry.

Abstract:

CREDITEX S.A.A. is a company dedicated to the manufacture and sale of yarns, fabrics and garments made with Pima and Tangüis cotton, to both national and international markets. The company is characterized by being vertically integrated, managing its operations in seven plants distributed along the Peruvian coast, thus achieving absolute control during the entire manufacturing process. CREDITEX belongs to the economic group Corporación Cervesur S.A.A., and employs around 1500 people, including operators and administrative staff, as well as a board of Executive Directors composed by six people. In the last five years, the company has shown a decline in sales, which has been notably reflected in the financial statements, for instance, an EBITDA of PEN 12'370 miles was reached in 2018 and PEN 9'171 miles in 2019, indicating a decline of around 25%. This is mainly due to the increase in production costs and it has been possible to demonstrate during the analysis carried out in the present thesis that the costs of materials and labor have had a significant influence on this rise. Hence, the international demand has been reduced as customers have opted for other more economical options. Under this scenario and the prompt need to solve the reduction in sales, it is proposed the strategy of product development for an existing market, which refers to the United States; with a focus on the category of sportswear targeting the premium segment, in addition to the implementation of the FairTrade or Made in Green seal in order to have an added value on the current products and justify their prices. Finally, it is proposed specific recommendations for CREDITEX to improve its internal processes and, consequently, sales and positioning in the local and international markets.
CREDITEX S.A.A. es una empresa dedicada a la manufactura y venta de hilados, tejidos y prendas de algodón tipo Pima y Tangüis; tanto al mercado nacional como internacional. La compañía se caracteriza por ser verticalmente integrada, maneja sus operaciones en siete plantas distribuidas a lo largo de la costa peruana, logrando así tener absoluto control durante todo el proceso de manufactura. CREDITEX pertenece al grupo económico Corporación Cervesur S.A.A., y emplea alrededor de 1500 personas, entre operarios y administrativos, así mismo cuenta con una junta de Directores Ejecutivos conformada por seis personas. En los últimos cinco años, la empresa ha evidenciado reducción en las ventas, lo cual se ha reflejado notablemente en los estados financieros, por ejemplo, se reportó un EBITDA de 12’370 miles de soles en 2018 y 9’171 miles de soles en 2019, lo cual indica una caída de alrededor del 25%. Esto se debe principalmente al incremento en los costos de producción y se ha podido demostrar durante el análisis realizado en la presente tesis que los costos de materiales y mano de obra han tenido bastante influencia en este aumento. De modo que la demanda internacional se ha reducido ya que los clientes han optado por otras opciones más económicas. Bajo este escenario, y la pronta necesidad de resolver la reducción en las ventas, se propone que la empresa opte por la estrategia de desarrollo de producto para un mercado existente, el cual refiere a Estados Unidos; con un enfoque hacia la categoría de ropa deportiva dirigida al segmento premium, además de la implementación del sello FairTrade o Made in Green a fin de tener un valor agregado sobre los productos y sustentar el precio actual. Finalmente, se proponen concretas recomendaciones a fin de que CREDITEX realice mejoras en sus procesos internos y, consecuentemente las ventas y posicionamiento en el mercado local e internacional tengan un mejor comportamiento.

Textile garment industries must be readily aware of the system’s current situation, respond quickly to changes in style to process orders on time, and manage an appropriate method of work to avoid production delays. In addition, the textile sector plays an important role because it presents a significant weight in the world economy. Likewise, this sector is considered influential when defining an international business agreement. Therefore, adequate management is required in the sector. Otherwise, it will generate a competitive disadvantage because the Peruvian industry is approaching an export recession. This paper proposes using the lean manufacturing methodology to reduce production times. The project is validated through a simulation of the current and proposed processes with the application of lean thinking tools to reduce waste (manufacturing process times).

Abstract:

Currently, the textile industry represents a big threat to the environment and human health, through the large resource consumption, through the harmful chemicals eliminated in the environment, and through the enormous amounts of waste resulted from both the pre-consumption and post-consumption phases. Moreover, it is a continuous need to bring digitalization in this industry to promote sustainability and resource efficiency. Additive manufacturing or 3D Printing is proposed lately as a solution to all these issues created by the textile industry, thus an emphasis has been placed on this technology to replace traditional textile production technologies. Although it has not yet had considerable success in practice, manufacturing of textiles via 3D printing is still a promising effort, due to the benefits it brings, and thus the research continues. This technology has the ability to build remarkable structures with limitless shapes and size, it can functionally optimize the products right from the start, and most important, the production steps can be skipped, thus allowing to reduce the production time and to bring digitisation closer to this sector. Furthermore, the resource consumption can be reduced, the transport routes can be eliminated as well as the textile waste generated during production. In conclusion, this technology is a totally different way to design which diminishes the effort and can conduct to a strong change in the industry. This paper discusses the advantages of the 3D Printing process for the textile field, the encountered difficulties, and recent developments in terms of materials, technologies, and applications.

Abstract:

The world is changing incrementally, exacerbating planetary boundaries (Rockström et al., 2009) and, as such, current lifestyles. Environmental pollution is gaining problematic levels, and the textile industry is considered one of the main culprits. The textile supply chain creates different types of waste and scrap that belong not only to the semi-finished product but also to the goods needed in the production stages (Nayak, R. 2019).The textile production process is known to consume resources, once considered unlimited, such as 'water, which now needs to be totally recovered and treated, fuel from fossil resources and a variety of chemicals on a large scale. Industry estimates show that more than 35 percent of chemicals released into the environment are the result of various textile treatment and dyeing processes (Thiry 2011). In the Italian landscape there are many examples of companies operating in the textile sector, where we find the closed cycle of production wastewater.The urgency of transitioning to circular and sustainable models has led governments to dwell on the role of textile companies with regard to sustainability, noting that they do not seem to be reforming at a pace and scale that would considerably combat environmental and climate change. The question that arises concerns the emergence of a number of new regulatory proposals and how they will impact within textile companies. Although most of the newer proposals are still a long way from becoming law, some regulations require textile companies to review the way they produce and communicate the nature of their products, involving EU manufacturers, importers, and retailers in the round.As part of the Circular Economy Action Plan, in March 2022, the EU published the "Sustainable Textiles Strategy 2030," which focuses on circularity of textiles and making brands responsible for waste sent to landfills (Digital Agenda Eu. 2022) and aims to make textiles more durable, repairable, reusable and recyclable. It also pledges to combat fast fashion and unsold textiles and ensure that they are produced with respect for social rights.The European Commission has made its regulatory proposals official, including the proposed Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, or Espr, which establishes a framework for improving product circularity.Thus, the role of design becomes critical for a more rational use of resources in the development of new products (Thorpe, 2007; Fletcher & Grose, 2012; Fletcher, 2014), which should be designed in a way that reduces waste, scrap, pollutants, and pollution, reaching the zero-waste goal. The treatment of this issue poses two different studies from the outset because the complexities between waste and waste generation in pre-consumption and post-consumption are different.If it is true that rules and standards are the lever of transformation the designer will have to come up with a new design process in compliance with the standard but producing innovation and making sustainability a tangible value in the value chain of the semi-finished or finished product.

Abstract:

In the document, we expose the application of the agile SCRUM and Kanban methodologies in an Ecuadorian textile company to improve the control of production processes. We have considered a company that produces clothing for all its subsidiaries in Ecuador. The participating groups were previously trained, both on methodologies, as well as on the tool developed and made available to control the production process. The methodological process was adapted to the jargon recognized by the participants. Data analytics were integrated to generate order management indicators, such as production and sales through key performance indicators (KPI). This experiment is attractive for textile companies, as well as for other lines because the methodologies allow organizing management, identifying bottlenecks for timely decision-making.

Abstract:

Sintetic dyes used in textile industry are very stabile molecules, which greatli influence wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment is one of the most important elements of pollution control but improved oxidative processes could be an easy and successful way to combat this problem. For the purposes of this research, wastewater was simulated so that the quality is like waste water from the textile industry. Dye from simulated textile industries wastewater was removed using a Fenton reagent. The quantities of chemical agents used are in accordance with the principles of cleaner production and compliance with the requirements for the preservation of the environment.

Abstract:

The paper analyses and discusses development trajectories of the textile industry in selected European cities where textiles have played a decisive role in influencing socio-economic and urban development as well as population changes. The British city of Manchester is recognized as the birthplace of cotton manufacturing in Europe and served as an example for building textile factories in other European cities that were later also called ʻManchesterʼ. The research paper identifies key moments of textile industry development in Manchester, Łódź and Brno. Case studies are linked by historical context, appropriate location, the importance of textile production in city development and population growth followed by depopulation of the core city. The results show that the textile industry has had a very significant impact on the cities analysed in terms of the economy, social environment and population changes. Both Manchester and Brno were identified as relatively successful in transition to modern post-industrial cities. In contrast, Łódź as a city almost completely dependent on a single industry is beginning to cope with the textile industry decline through brownfield regeneration and urban change, but very robust shrinkage in the cityʼs population size, which is also reflected in economic development, is still a major problem.

Abstract:

Lean Production is considered a management methodology that has been implemented in many industries and services. Nevertheless, Lean experts know that this is not only a management methodology; it is more a philosophy and a new way of life. This is the reason why it is difficult to implement but, even worst, to be successful and to be sustainable. A continuous effort of improvement must always be kept in mind. Attending to these factors, it is important to have a methodology that helps to implement Lean Production effectively. This methodology could be different from industry to industry in order to model the differences between them and, most important, to assure its sustainability. This paper presents the validation of one such methodology for the Textile and Clothing Industry (TCI), based on three case studies (three Textile and Clothing companies located in North of Portugal). To validate it, different field procedures instruments such as interviews, questionnaires, and checklists were used. With these instruments, some validation results of the methodology were obtained, mainly, related with the diagnosis phase of Lean implementation. Results of two case studies were published in previous papers, being the results of a third case presented in this paper. Also, an analysis and discussion of the three case studies results, regarding their attitudes and difficulties are presented.

Abstract:

In recent years a growing demand for natural fiber-reinforced plastic components and structures has been observed. One important area of application is transportation, particularly in the automotive industry. Due to market demand, innovative process technologies for fast, cost-effective and quality-driven manufacture of natural fiber-reinforced plastic components is required. This paper will focus on the development of technologies for automised manufacturing of NFRP-components with resin infusion processes. At present NFRP-components are manufactured automatically but without flexibility concerning the deviations of material properties or part geometries. This lack of control in manufacturing results in long cycle times, low process control and high costs. The Bremen Institute for Engineering Design (BIK) is developing and improving machine and process technologies for automised textile handling. The handling system has to meet the requirements of large, limp textile material. The authors have mutually developed methods for the simplified simulation of textiles. The simulation supports the evaluation of textiles and handling devices concerning the ability for better control in manufacturing. To meet these requirements, a simulation of the textile material with the “Finite Element Analysis” method supports the part and process design by reducing developing time and costs. For this purpose, the authors showed a simplified model with a reduced set of material data which is required for the FEA-model.

Abstract:

Ontologies offer great potential for interoperability of production processes, yet they still lack awareness in the textile industry. Textile engineering is predominantly characterized by experience-based approaches and tacit knowledge in specialized application domains. Ontologies serve as an approach for the formalization of knowledge in human and machine-readable form. This paper aims to convey ontology-based approaches in textile production technology and delineate additional application fields.This contribution provides a classification of existing ontology-based approaches in textile production technology, delineate additional application fields and highlights open challenges and complexity drivers in textile manufacturing.

Abstract:

The textile and apparel industry is a highly globalized, multi-trillion-dollar sector. Today, production networks are dominated by low-cost Asian countries with very large labor-pools, which has made it increasingly difficult for other producers around the world to compete, including those in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). While the region has participated in the industry, there are currently no LAC countries amongst the leading ten exporters. The COVID-19 pandemic, together with rising geopolitical tensions between the US and China, however, has disrupted this well-established business model over the past two to three years. This creates the most significant opportunity of the past decade to reconfigure the geography of the supply chain; as a small, but long-term supplier, with proximity to the worlds largest single market, Central America is well-positioned to benefit from these changes. Nonetheless, the region needs to upgrade various aspects of their GVC participation in order to become a serious contender in the reconfiguration of the industry. Key policies should focus on developing human capital through industry-specific training initiatives; intensifying investment attraction efforts; and aggressively investing in both hard and soft infrastructure to reduce barriers to trade and enhance lead time responsiveness.

Full text

Abstract:

The findings of this study can inform and enable policymakers in improving occupational air pollution, including addressing air pollution, pollution sources and other related issues in the garment manufacturing sector in Cambodia. Such interventions will help to uphold the health of workers as a human right, ensure safe workplaces, and also be beneficial for the country’s economic growth, as a healthy workforce is more productive. While the garment sector serves as Cambodia’s economic backbone and creates much-needed jobs, it is also a highly polluting industry, alongside being regularly implicated for not upholding labour rights. The sector emits pollutants to air from intensive energy use, solid and hazardous waste emissions, noise pollution and wastewater pollution discharge. Despite this, the sector’s environmental impacts in Cambodia, particularly in relation to air pollution, are not well known, and this gap was highlighted in the development of Cambodia’s 2021 Clean Air Plan. Aiming to fill this gap, in cooperation with SEI, the Air Quality and Noise Management Department of the General Directorate of Environmental Protection of Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment conducted a research project to improve understanding of air pollutant emissions from the textile industry and the health impacts on workers in Cambodia’s garment industry. The study drew on in-depth interviews with 323 garment factory workers across 16 factories, interviews with 16 factory owners, and quantitative data to better understand all interviewees’ experiences with occupational air pollution. While the research documented any symptoms related to air pollution, it did not employ medical research to assess the workers’ health status, nor did it attempt to investigate the cost or impact of air pollution on factory production. This policy briefing draws on a longer report prepared by the Ministry of Environment (Chandath, H., Chhay Por, I., Sokyimeng, S., Dana, S., Raksmey, Y. 2023.
