Full textAbstract:
Restructuring processes provide key dynamics for the development and transformation of industrial structures. Industrial restructuring can be conceptualized by product and/or process innovations including technological improvements and relocation of industry. Such forms of transformation can be investigated by a critical examination of industrial relations. This thesis is motivated from such a consideration of understanding and interpreting industrial transformation in a specific time and space setting.
Textile and garment industry is a good case to explore the abovementioned concepts. Firstly global and national dimensions of industry are investigated. It is understood that quota free regulations of trade and relocation of production have been shaping a fierce global competition by which employment, supply and marketing relations change dramatically at the world scale. In such new competitive conditions Turkish textile and garment industry has been losing its growth dynamics in terms of price competition advantage. Secondly Denizli case is investigated. In-depth interviews with firms, related chambers and unions are made during field survey. Thesis argued that Denizli has locked to a passive exporter role. In this lock-in process, the sector could not transform itself by innovative modes of restructuring. The passive exporter role disables region to adopt innovative product strategies and to shift production to other regions where cost cutting opportunities are provided. Industrialists decrease production costs informally including employment unregistered workers. However although survey results point out locked industrial dynamics, Denizli region still have the potential of regional development thanks to its entrepreneurial sprit and rising other economic sectors.

Full textAbstract:
El objetivo de la presente tesis es identificar los factores que influyen positivamente en el desarrollo exportador de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES) del sector textil y confecciones en Lima. Esto con el fin de conocer las diferencias entre las PYMES exportadoras y las que no exportan.
El estudio del sector se delimita en las subpartidas 6109100031 (t-shirt de algodón para hombre o mujer) y 6109100039 (los demás "t-shirts" de algodón, para hombres o mujeres) ya que el sector es muy amplio y diverso.
La investigación tiene un enfoque cuantitativo con una muestra de 35 PYMES exportadoras y 48 PYMES no exportadoras en la cual se aplica un estudio concluyente y descriptivo para responder el objetivo planteado. Además, tiene un enfoque no experimental por el estudio de la situación actual del sector y un estudio transversal en el cual se aplica una encuesta a la muestra detallada.
La investigación se basa en la información incluida en el Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) en su reporte para Perú en 2016-2017. Dicho estudio menciona que las PYMES se internacionalizan dentro de los primeros cinco años de creación. No obstante, solo el 1.5% de estas empresas tienen clientes potenciales en el extranjero.
Asimismo, los resultados de la encuesta aplicada en el presente estudio y GEM Perú 2016-2017 comprueban que variables como las características del empresario, factores internos de la empresa y características del sector influyen positivamente en el desarrollo exportador de las PYMES en Lima Metropolitana.The purpose of this thesis is to identify the factors that positively influence the export development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the textile and garment sector in Lima. This is to know the differences between exporting SMEs and those that do not export. The study of the sector is limited to subheadings 6109100031 (cotton shirt for men or women) and 6109100039 (the other cotton "shirts" for men and women) since the sector is very broad and diverse. The research has a quantitative approach with a sample of 35 exporting SMEs and 48 non-exporting SMEs in which a conclusive and descriptive study is applied to meet the set of objectives. In addition, it has a non-experimental approach when studying the current situation of the sector and a cross-sectional study in which a survey is applied to the detailed sample. The study is based on the information included in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) in its report for Peru in 2016-2017. This study mentions that SMEs are internationalized within the first five years of creation; however, only 1.5% of these companies have potential clients abroad. Likewise, the results of the survey applied in the present study and GEM Peru 2016-2017 verify that variables such as the characteristics of the entrepreneur, the internal factors of the company and the characteristics of the sector have a positive influence on the export development of SMEs in Metropolitan Lima

El texto completo de este trabajo no está disponible en el Repositorio Académico UPC por restricciones de la casa editorial donde ha sido publicado.Over time, the textile sector has been globally represented and characterized by increasingly demanding customers, which has forced companies to seek more flexible processes. However, these changes in production methods have also generated greater wastes, a common problem, which also leads to a greater number of defaults on meeting the demand. As a result, several efforts have been made to solve this issue, such as using emerging Lean or Just-in-Time philosophies with different approaches. Likewise, high sector turnover sometimes causes learning to become tedious, thus affecting the knowledge which has already been acquired. Therefore, this paper proposes a Lean Manufacturing model, bolstered by knowledge management to guarantee its viability over time. A simulation using the Arena software reduced non-compliances with companies’ production schedule up to 80%.

Full textAbstract:
Background: A sustainable economy becomes more and more important for most parts of the society. Especially the fashion industry is being criticized for wasting resources and being non-sustainable. Therefore, some textile producers started to implement programs that are aiming on a reuse of garments. Aims of research: The purpose of this research is to discover how customers can be motivated to return unwanted garments, also considering possible hindering factors. To gather this information it is necessary to build a theoretical framework with customer-based theories. The thesis explored how a second hand multi-brand retailer can take active action in encouraging customers to return unwanted textiles. Method: This research was conducted as an inductive qualitative research. The data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with several second hand retailers. The analysis was carried out following the Giogia method. Results: The thesis revealed that the garment disposal behavior is affected by various influences. Influences on the disposal behavior of garment consumers are personal values and believes. The dispose of unwanted garments is often influenced by an ease of handling and the same behavior is followed over the years simply because individuals are used to a certain garment disposal behavior. The largest hindering factors why customers do not return garments to retailers are caused by a lack of information as well as insufficient transparency. This behavior can be affected by second hand retailers by providing improved communication and a motivation to return garments by offering benefits for the customer. The size of the company does not play a major role.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, an activity classification algorithm is developed to support a human ambulatory monitoring system. This algorithm, to be deployed on an e-textile garment, represents the enabling step in creating a wide range of garments that can use the same classifier without having to re-train for different sensor types. This flexible operation is made possible by basing the classifier on an abstract model of the human body that is the same across all sensor types and subject bodies. In order to support low power devices inherent for wearable systems, the algorithm utilizes regular expressions along with a tree search during classification.
To validate the approach, a user study was conducted using video motion capture to record subjects performing a variety of activities. The subjects were randomly placed into two groups, one used to generate the activities known by the classifier and another to be used as observation to the classifier. These two sets were used to gain insight on the performance of the algorithm. The results of the study demonstrate that the algorithm can successfully classify observations, so as long as precautions are taken to prevent the activities known by the classifier to become too large. It is also shown that the tree search performed by the classification can be utilized to partially classify observations that would otherwise be rejected by the classifier. The user study additionally included subjects that performed activities purely used for observations to the classifier. With this set of recordings, it was demonstrated that the classifier does not over-fit and is capable of halting the classification of an observation.Master of Science

Esta dissertação teve por objetivo analisar a predisposição cultural de um grupo de médias e grandes indústrias de confecção de artigos do vestuário localizadas no Rio Grande do Sul para inovar através do Design. Por meio da análise teórica de alguns constructos essenciais à compreensão do problema de pesquisa, construiu-se um protocolo de investigação. Realizou-se, primeiramente, a identificação de fatores externos de competitividade do setor para, em seguida, construir um instrumento de coleta de dados que desse conta dos objetivos específicos. Com a identificação dos fatores internos de aprendizagem individual e organizacional, pretendeu-se avaliar a disposição cultural das empresas para inovar, tendo como pressuposto que a inovação orientada pelo Design pode ser compreendida como um ciclo de aprendizagem. A cadeia produtiva têxtil engloba diversos elos, sendo a indústria de confecção de artigos do vestuário aquele que está mais próximo das demandas dos consumidores finais. Desde os anos 1990, esse elo da cadeia vem sofrendo com a abertura de novos mercados e tem estado sob forte pressão para diferenciar-se em algum grau pelos métodos de produção ou preço, pressão esta que se acirra devido à globalização e à produção de bens desterritorializada. Examinar a estrutura dessas empresas frente a tal conjuntura mundial foi essencial para notar a necessidade latente da criação de estratégias e ações alicerçadas em uma metodologia que garanta a obtenção de vantagens competitivas sólidas frente às novas exigências. Este trabalho caracteriza-se como um Estudo de Caso do tipo descritivo exploratório, do ponto de vista de seus objetivos, e apresenta abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa.
This thesis aimed to examine the cultural predisposition of a group of medium and large industries located in Rio Grande do Sul to innovate through Design. Through the analysis of some essential theoretical constructs to the comprehension of the research problem, was first built a research protocol. Held, first, the identification of external factors of competitiveness of the sector to then build an instrument of data collection seeking to achieve the specific goals. Identifying the internal factors of individual and organizational learning, we sought to assess the cultural disposition of businesses to innovate having the assumption that innovation driven-design can be understood as a learning cycle. The textile production chain includes various links, and the industry of garments is closest to the demands of consumers. Since the 1990s, the garments industry has been suffering with the opening of new markets and has been under strong pressure to differentiate themselves in some degree by the methods of production or price, that exacerbates this pressure due to globalization. Examine the structure of these companies facing such a situation was essential to note the latent need of the creation of strategies and actions founded upon a methodology that ensures the achievement of competitive advantages solid front to the new requirements. This work is characterized as a Case Study using descriptive and exploratory research methods in terms of its objectives, and presents quantitative and qualitative approach.

Full textAbstract:
Functional garments for physiological sensing purposes have been utilized in several disciplinesi.e. sports, firefighting, military and medical. In most of the cases textile electrodes (Textrodes)embedded in the garment are employed to monitor vital signs and other physiologicalmeasurements. Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI) is a non-invasive and effective technology that canbe used for detection and supervision of different health conditions. In some specific applicationssuch as body composition assessment EBIS has shown encouraging results proving good degreeof effectiveness and reliability. In a similar way Impedance Cardiography (ICG) is anothermodality of EBI primarily concerned with the determination of Stroke Volume SV, indices ofcontractility, and other aspects of hemodynamics.EBI technology in the previously mentioned modalities can benefit from a integration with agarment; however, a successful implementation of EBI technology depends on the goodperformance of textile electrodes. The main weakness of Textrodes is a deficient skin-electrodeinterface which produces a high degree of sensitivity to signal disturbances. This sensitivity canbe reduced with a suitable selection of the electrode material and an intelligent and ergonomicgarment design that ensures an effective skin-electrode contact area.This research work studies the performance of textile electrodes and garments for EBIspectroscopy for Total Body Assessment and Transthoracic Electrical Bioimpedance (TEB) forcardio monitoring. Their performance is analyzed based on impedance spectra, estimation ofparameters, influence of electrode polarization impedance Zep and quality of the signals using asreference Ag/AgCl electrodes. The study includes the analysis of some characteristics of thetextile electrodes such as conductive material, skin-electrode contact area size and fabricconstruction.The results obtained in this research work present evidence that textile garments with a dry skinelectrodeinterface like the ones used in research produce reliable EBI measurements in bothmodalities: BIS for Total Body Assessment and TEB for Impedance Cardiography. Textiletechnology, if successfully integrated, may enable the utilization of EBI in both modalities andconsequently implementing wearable applications for home and personal health monitoring.QC 20121213

Full textAbstract:
The thesis “Effects of the Post Multi-fiber Agreement on Bangladesh Ready Made Garments Sector” is a part of our M.Sc. in Business Administration Program. The thesis paper on this topic is done under the supervision of Mr. Göran Alsén, Professor of Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) Ronneby, Sweden. In our country garment industry has been playing most vital role in our national economy, foreign exchange earnings, employment, growth in other sector and most prominently women employment. In the first chapter we tried to focus on the historical background of Multi Fiber Agreement, the growth of Bangladesh Garments Manufacturer and Exporter Association (BGMEA).In 1983 the total members of BGMEA were 143 with narrow export volume but in 2007 we see the total members are 4637.They contribute 75.64% of our total export (BGMEA, 2007). People who are directly involved with this sector became worried because of phase out of quota system from January 2005.But if we observe the current scenario it is very much positive for our national economy. It’s true that competition grew high but at the same time we can say that our garments industry did not lose its market reputation compared to that of other rival competitors like China, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam etc. It’s very obvious that we have great problem with the backward linkage industry. As a result we are facing huge competition among the competitors. We have to face huge competition with the other competitors as long as we could set up our backward linkage industry. Under these circumstances, our Government is taking necessary steps to remove this problem. It is now simply a matter of time. But we hope we will get rid of this problem very soon. In this thesis paper we have tried to analyze the performance of five different RMG companies and we have also tried to examine the impact of withdrawal of quota system. Based on these five RMG factories we observe that our RMG industry is performing well after Post MFA. In addition, if we look our total exports we see that approximately 74.93% of our total export is from RMG sector. It is very promising sector compared to other export items. Thus we can say that to survive in this competitive sector our RMG sector should take some more necessary steps like improving employee efficiency, ensuring more training facility, emphasizing on backward linkage industry etc. To attract foreign investors these are very important.

Full textAbstract:
The Ghanaian textile sector, after decades of protection, is today operating in a free trade environment. This means that it is now having to compete with imports in terms of price and quality. Thus, in this study, it is argued that efficiency of production and cost cutting measures are important in aiding the textile sector in Ghana to become more competitive with imports. The efficiency and cost structure of the Ghanaian textile sector are therefore examined in an attempt to estimate the degree of technical inefficiency and the effect of cost cutting measure on the price of individual textile firms' output. Technical inefficiency is estimated using a stochastic frontier approach. The main findings are that firms' technical inefficiency declined to relatively low levels as they became more exposed to foreign competition. Also, the competitive position of Ghanaian textile firms, as far as competition with imports is concerned, can be greatly enhanced as a result of the various cost cutting measures looked at. This resulted in some firms achieving an export potential as a result of the potential reduction in their price. Finally, some policy options are explored. These include: change in tax policies; change in fuel water and power charges; a devaluation of the exchange rate; and incentives for capital investment.

Full textAbstract:
This project investigated the potential for the regeneration of fibres from cotton-based waste garments. The project focused on the preparation of the cotton waste pulps and assessed the suitability of the prepared material for regeneration of ReCell fibres. Mechanical processes have been developed to degrade the fabrics into a fibrous pulp potentially allowing easier fibre dissolution and purification in the fibre regeneration processes. Wet degradation and dry degradation methods were evaluated and the optimal method identified. It was established that the wet deconstruction method could produce fibres with longer length and lesser degradation of the cellulose than the dry deconstruction method. The pulp produced by wet deconstruction methods could be formed into sheets which were stronger than the pulp produced by the dry deconstruction methods. Although the cotton pulp reclaimed by the wet deconstruction methods requires extra energy to dry, it is still the most attractive processing route since the pulp will be transported to the fibre spinning plant in the form of dry cellulosic sheets. Methods for stripping off the easy care finishes in order to increase dissolution of the cellulosic garments were optimised. The stripping performance was assessed by fibre degradation, contents of the easy care finishes, and solubility of the stripped fibres in selected solvents. It was established that a combination of acidic and alkaline treatment can effect the removal of all easy care finishes and enable efficient dissolution of the pulps for fibre making. ReCell fibres were produced from 100% reclaimed material and a blend of reclaimed cotton pulp and wood pulp and structural and mechanical properties were characterised and compared to the existing Lyocell fibres. It was established that for easy separation of non-cellulosic material from the cellulose-based waste garment pulp the fibres must be modified to avoid formation of tufts. Fibre enrichment by gravity separation was recommended as a pre-requisite process prior to wet cyclone separation and the optimisation of the process was recommended for future work. ReCell processing of dyed waste garments, fibre spinning, fabric construction and wet processing of ReCell fibres have been recommended for future work. The results from this project will be used for pilot tests and later commercial production of ReCell fibres by Lenzing Company. Commercial production of ReCell fibres will contribute to the reduction of economic and environmental challenges caused by textile wastes. Moreover, the findings have identified a potential reduction of pressure on raw material for fibre production by providing an alternative source of material for regeneration of cellulosic fibres.

Full textAbstract:
In 2015 the global fibre consumption was 96.7 million tonnes, which is an increase of 3.1% from the year before. Our high textile consumption has led to an increasing demand of raw materials and generation of textile waste. Only in Europe, a total amount of 4.3 million tonnes of apparel waste each year is sent to either incineration or landfills. Approximately 50% of the clothes we discard and donate are composed of cotton. In the future, the cotton production is predicted to stagnate since the world population is increasing and arable land to greater extent will be needed for food production. Thereby, it is important that we utilize the cotton waste generated. One of the most commonly used processes for recycling textile waste is the shredding process. In this method, textile waste is shredded back into their constituent fibres. The drawback with the shredding process is that the fibre length is reduced. The fibre length is an important property since it has a high influence on textile processing such as yarn production and final product quality. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how post-consumer cotton garments with different degree of wear affects the fibre length obtained in the shredding process. This was performed by analysing the input fibre length as well as the output fibre length. Additionally, several parameters were investigated: fabric construction and yarn structure. Degree of wear was categorized into two levels: low and high degree of wear. The fabric constructions used in this study were single-jersey and denim. The yarn structure were analysed in terms of yarn count, yarn twist and manufacturing process. The result showed that the fibre length before shredding was statistically significant longer for the materials with low degree of wear compared to high degree of wear. After shredding, it was shown that the fibre length reduction was lower for the materials with high degree of wear. This indicates that longer fibres give higher fibre length reduction. In addition, it was found that finer yarn gives higher fibre length reduction. The result also showed that the yarn manufacturing process has a great influence on the ease of shredding and the fibre length obtained in the end. Based on the result in this thesis it can be concluded that the shredding process needs to be improved in order to preserve the fibre length. The area of post-consumer textile waste is complex and the result showed that there is many underlying parameters that need to be taken into account to further develop the shredding process.

Full textAbstract:
In this research, I report and analyze the experiences of people working with small-scale enterprises in the Colombian textile artisanal sector for understanding how artisanal products are delivered to national and international markets. The data was collected by interviewing design managers and managers currently working with several of these small-scale enterprises. This paper was done considering four important features: firstly, the enormous potential that the Colombian textile industry once held back in the 1960’s; secondly, Colombia’s rich and multiple artisanal creations as expression of culture and idiosyncrasy that show the country’s ample geography and culture; thirdly, the characteristics of the Colombian economy and industry which is mainly composed of micro and small enterprises; and lastly , the lack of research on small-scale value networks. In this research the idea of linear value chains is superseded by the notion of value networks, in which relationships, activities and actors are interconnected to co-create value. In this setting, culture, people and sustainability are the key factors to reach differentiation. By learning from these experiences and analyzing practices in small-scale enterprises I can suggest that, new approaches that benefit and reinforce the characteristics of the small and medium scale enterprises must be built as an opportunity for improving the lives of people in developing countries. Additionally, relationships and the order of the production and marketing flows within the value networks depend on the manager approach.Program: Textilt management med inriktning styrning av textila värdekedjor

Full textAbstract:
Region Östergötland has encountered issue in ecological and economical overconsumption of single-used garments in healthcare sector among medical staff in Universitetssjukhuset Linköping. Proper approaches to reach solutions towards decrease of usage of single-used garments were targeted to be implemented for employees of healthcare sector. Two goals were established for this study. First of all, it was aimed to analyse consumer behaviour of employees in healthcare sector of Östergötland region to find out reasons that lay behind increase of single-time garments by employees. Secondly, the aim was targeted to examine what nudging techniques, if any, are feasible to use in positively changing current consumer behavior. The findings showed that nudging has a strong potential to be regarded as an effective tool in influencing healthcare workers of Linköping University Hospital disposable garments usage. Main behavioural reasons that triggered increase of disposable garments usage were detected as lack of information and old habits of medical staff. Application of information disclosure, framing, feedback and social norms nudging techniques were identified to have promising possibilities in impacting current behaviour and raise healthcare workers awareness about their consumption patterns.

Full textAbstract:
Wearable sensors and systems have become increasingly popular for diverse applications. An emerging technology for physical activity assessment is Smart Textile Systems (STSs), comprised of sensitive/actuating fiber, yarn, or fabric that can sense an external stimulus. All required components of an STS (sensors, electronics, energy supply, etc.) can be conveniently embedded into a garment, providing a fully textile-based system. Thus, STSs have clear potential utility for measuring health-relevant aspects of human activity, and to do so passively and continuously in diverse environments. For these reasons, STSs have received increasing interest in recent studies. Despite this, however, limited evidence exists to support the implementation of STSs during diverse applications.
Our long-term goal was to assess the feasibility and accuracy of using an STS to monitor human activities. Our immediate objective was to investigate the accuracy of an STS in three representative applications with respect to occupational scenarios, healthcare, and activities of daily living. A particular STS was examined, consisting of a smart socks (SSs), using textile pressure sensors, and smart undershirt (SUS), using textile strain sensors. We also explored the relative merits of these two approaches, separately and in combination. Thus, five studies were completed to design and evaluate the usability of the smart undershirt, and investigate the accuracy of implementing an STS in the noted applications. Input from the SUS led to planar angle estimations with errors on the order of 1.3 and 9.4 degrees for the low-back and shoulder, respectively. Overall, individuals preferred wearing a smart textile system over an IMU system and indicated the former as superior in several aspects of usability. In particular, the short-sleeved T-shirt was the most preferred garments for an STS. Results also indicated that the smart shirt and smart socks, both individually and in combination, could detect occupational tasks, abnormal and normal gaits, and activities of daily living with greater than 97% accuracy.
Based on our findings, we hope to facilitate future work that more effectively quantifies sedentary periods that may be deleterious to human health, as well as detect activity types that may be help or hinder health and fitness. Such information may be of use to individuals and workers, healthcare providers, and ergonomists. More specifically, further analyses from this investigation could provide strategies for: (a) modifying a sedentary lifestyle or work scenario to a more active one, and (b) helping to more accurately identify occupational injury risk factors associated with human movement.PHD

Full textAbstract:
Lean Production is a well-established concept that has been most prominent within the car manufacturing industry. It bases on the ide to remove all waste and to strip away unnecessary steps that do not add value to the customer. Agile, on the other hand, is a flexible concept, aimed to stay put during volatile circumstances. This thesis deals with the phenomena of Lean Enterprise, which is an elongation of Lean Production. Now the whole organization, on all levels, is included. The thesis also explores the concept of agile, as in agile development and not in a software focus. The purpose of this study is to identify the dispersion between lean and agile philosophies and methods of working within the Swedish textile industry. No previous research about this subject have been made, solely on Lean Production, both in the textile sector and others, or Lean Enterprise, but then not within the chosen sector. Moreover, have no study been made regarding the Swedish textile sector. In order to pursue this study the authors had to explain what characteristics that are describing the phenomena of Lean Production, Pettersens (2009) research was chosen to display these. Then, these groups of characteristics were transmitted into a suitable Lean Enterprise way of thinking, to lift lean up from solely producing environments. By using this information a quantitative survey with 33 assertions have been assembled and executed on three different companies with a total of 16 respondents. The conclusions that can be drawn from this study are that there are indications that lean do exist on an operative level, throughout whole organizations, with the most prominent group of characteristics being scientific management. The least implemented group of lean characteristics within the participated companies is defects control. The results also did indicate that agile characteristics do exist but however in various amounts and in various parts. This thesis is a pilot study which will be used as the fundament for an upcoming study, therefore the latter part of this thesis’s purpose was to conduct, test and give suggestions for improving a survey.Program: Applied Textile Management

Full textAbstract:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be defined in many ways and there are severalstrategies present for managing, monitoring and implementing CSR and Codes of Conduct(CoC). In the thesis it will be regarded as those activities companies carry out, and maintain, tocreate a more sustainable business,- and global situation. Implementation of CSR is voluntaryfrom the purchasing companies perspective but mandatory for the suppliers. This means CSR andCoC is not legislated or in any other way strongly influenced by governments or NGO:s, but away to manage a supply chain to fulfil the company goals and public expectations.This thesis is based on three research questions, that provide an insight into managing,monitoring and implementing CSR and CoC in the developing nation Vietnam, based on theperspective of Scandinavian textile and apparel companies.The first question aim to give a background to strategies, found among in the study part takingcompanies, used to manage, monitor and implement CSR and CoC. Approaches such as, ownauditing divisions, joining initiatives, production manager inspects and so on, is gone throughwith emphasis on working methods. This is presented to give the reader a background onconcepts and an insight into common procedures. The second focus on factors influencing themanagement, monitoring and implementation of CSR and CoC in Vietnam. The three followingcategories wereselected to be presented and discussed, National culture, Middle Management andthe Future of CSR in Vietnam. As these topics were often mentioned in interviews withcompanies and organisations as influencing the CSR process. The final question is meant to tiethis thesis and the previous two questions together, how Scandinavian textile and apparelcompanies can co-operate with Vietnamese suppliers to create added value in the supply chain.This question goes back to the two previous ones seeking possibilities to use strategies forimplementation, adapted to factors influencing CSR in production in Vietnam.In chapter 5, a list of negative and positive characteristics of the situation for working with CSRin Vietnam is presented. The negative being, mild unorganized strikes, the ‘if you can hide it; itdo not exist’ attitude, middle management, foreign owned production facilities, and the one partystate. The positive aspects mentioned being, developing country, awakening public interest,workers reacting, and a positive attitude towards Scandinavians.Significant findings made in this thesis were that company size often dedict strategy andinitiatives chosen, CSR codes often directly correspond to the soft laws of the ILO conventions,middle management is a key to success and that the power of the buyer should not beunderestimated, but demands on production social standards should be stressed to cause change.Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, kan definieras på åtskilliga sätt och det finns flerastrategier närvarande rörande management, övervakning och genomförande av CSR ochuppförandekoder. I uppsatsen kommer CSR att betraktas som de aktiviteter bolagen bedriver, styroch underhåller, för att skapa en mer hållbar verksamhet och global situation. Att dessa utförsfrivilligt, utan att vara lagstiftning eller under stark påverkan från NGOs. Utan är ettförhållningssätt för hur företag hanterar denna del av försörjningskedjan för att möta sina mål ochallmänhetens förväntningar.Uppsatsen bygger på tre frågeställningar, för att ge en inblick i management, övervakningen ochgenomförandet av företagens sociala ansvar och uppförandekoder i den del av försörjningskedjansom är produktion. I denna studie i utvecklingslandet Vietnam. Från ett Skandinaviskt textil ochkonfektions företags perspektiv, gällande arbete kring styrning av inköp och produktion.Den första frågan strävar efter att ge en bild av de strategier som ofta används för management,övervakning och genomförande av CSR och CoC. Metoder såsom, egna auditeringsdivisioner, attgå med i initiativ och att produktionschef inspekterar under fabriksbesök, gås igenom medtyngdpunkt på arbetsmetoder. Dessa strategier presenteras för att ge läsaren en bakgrund tillbegrepp och en inblick i det praktiska arbetet kring arbetet med CSR. Den andra frågan fokuserarpå faktorer som påverkar förvaltning, övervakning och implementering av CSR och CoC iVietnam. De tre områdena nationell kultur, mellanchefsnivå och framtiden för företags socialaansvar i Vietnam, presenteras och diskuteras. Den sista frågan är tänkt att knyta uppsatsen, och detvå föregående frågorna samman, hur skandinaviska textil och konfektionsföretag kan samarbetamed vietnamesiska leverantörer för att skapa mervärde i leverantörskedjan. Denna fråga knyteran till de två tidigare, den första som söker möjligheter att använda strategier för genomförande,den andra påvisar faktorer som påverkar företagens sociala ansvar i produktion i Vietnam.Sammanfattningsvis presenteras en lista i kapitel fem, som redovisar negativa och positivaaspekter rörande styrning av CSR i Vietnam. De negativa är, milda oorganiserade strejker, den"om du kan dölja det, finns det inte" attityd som finns, mellanchefer, utlandsägdaproduktionsanläggningar och det kommunistiska enpartisystemet. Positiva aspekter inkluderar,utvecklingsland, ett spirande allmänhets intresse, arbetare reagerar, och en positiv inställning tillskandinaver.Anmärkningsvärda upptäcker som gjorts i denna avhandling var att företagets storlek oftapåverkar vilken strategi och initiativ som valts. CSR koder motsvarar ofta direkt mjuka lagar somILO konventioner, chefer på mellannivå är en nyckel till framgång. Köparens makt skall inteunderskattas, krav på att produktionen följer sociala normer bör krävas för att skapa långvarigförändring i försörjningskedjan.Program: Textilekonomutbildningen

Full textAbstract:
El problema que se describe en la presenta tesis es la alta generación de desperdicios en el proceso de confección de prendas de vestir en las MYPES peruanas. El sector de la confección textil genera el 1.9 % del PBI total y es el responsable de generar puestos de trabajo de más de 400 mil puestos directos y 2,8 millones de manera indirecta. Considerando la importancia que representa este sector para el desarrollo económico del Perú, se requiere fortalecer el desempeño de este sector a través de nuevos modelos o métodos que ayuden a confrontar el problema de la alta generación de desperdicios que presenta las MYPES peruanas. Por ello, se realizó una revisión de literatura para identificar diversos modelos que den solución al problema. Entre las investigaciones realizadas se encontró estudios en donde se implementa el Value Stream Mapping, Lean manufacturing, redutex y Programación lineal. Estos modelos han proporcionado mejoras al problema; sin embargo, no han considerado variables particulares que presentan las MYPES peruanas en la actualidad, tales como la gestión del cambio, deficiencias económicas, tecnológicas y factores negativos que influyen en su implementación.
Por todo lo anteriormente expuesto, en la presente tesis se propone un método ágil y sostenible que contribuya a reducir los desperdicios de producción en MYPES textiles dedicadas a la confección de prendas de vestir. Este método consta de 4 etapas: crear conciencia y cultura de NO desperdicios, implementación de las 6S, mantener el cambio y mejora continua. Cada etapa se compone de conocimientos extraídos de la revisión de la literatura, el cual consiste en la aplicación de varias herramientas en conjunto como gestión del cambio, 6S, gestión visual y W-AMEF. La aplicación del método se desarrolló en una MYPE de confección peruana, la cual está compuesto por 8 colaboradores. Esta aplicación tuvo un tiempo de duración de 3 meses y los resultados registrados fueron la reducción del 52.13 % de la generación de mermas y el 54.88 % en la generación de lotes reprocesados; asimismo, la productividad laboral pasó de ser de 4.2 p/H a 4.8 polos por hora.The problem described in this thesis is the high generation of waste in the process of making garments in Peruvian MYPES. The textile manufacturing sector generates 1.9% of total GDP and is responsible for 400,000 direct jobs and 2.8 million people indirectly. Considering the importance that this sector represents for the economic development of Peru, new models or methods that help to confront the problem of the high generation of waste presented by Peruvian MYPES are required. Therefore, a literature review was conducted to identify various models that provide a solution to the problem. Among them were studies where Value Stream Mapping, Lean manufacturing, REDUTEX, Linear programming is implemented. These models have provided improvements to the problem; however, they have not considered particular variables of the MYPES such as change management, economic, technological deficiencies and negative barriers in their implementation. This thesis proposes an agile and sustainable method that helps reduce production waste in textile MYPES. This method consists of 4 stages: create awareness and culture of NO waste, 6S implementation, maintain change and continuous improvement. Each stage consists of knowledge extracted from the literature review, which consists of the application of several tools together as change management, 6S and W-AMEF. The method was applied in a Peruvian made MYPE. This application had a duration of 3 months and the recorded results were a reduction of 52.13% in the generation of waste and 54.88% in the generation of unnecessary movements; also, labor productivity went from being 4.2 p / H to 4.8 poles per hour.

Full textAbstract:
La industria de confección textil tiene gran importancia, particularmente en los países en desarrollo como Perú, ya que ocupa el segundo lugar con respecto al sector que más aporta al PBI en el ámbito manufacturero. En el 2017 los problemas del sector textil representaron el 19% del sector manufacturero, de los cuales el 15.8% eran enfermedades musculo esqueléticas generando trastornos musculo esqueléticos (TME), esto debido a las malas prácticas y un inadecuado diseño de estaciones de trabajo. La importancia de trabajar en un adecuado ambiente laboral está relacionada directamente a la prevención de desórdenes músculo esqueléticos y a las ausencias laborales. En varios estudios se señala la importancia de un adecuado diseño, así como el correcto uso de metodologías ergonómicas, para poder evaluarlos y validarlos, sin embargo, estos se enfocan en la validación de la metodología y no del proceso que abarca desde la formulación de propuestas hasta la validación de este. Es por ello, que el presente estudio está enfocado en un modelo de rediseño de estación de trabajo que abarca desde las propuestas de diseño hasta la validación del mismo; utilizando técnicas ergonómicas observacionales como REBA, RULA y NIOSH y herramientas de ingeniería como Sistema de Manipulación de Materiales (SMM), Estudio de Métodos, Técnica de Interrogatorio Sistemático (TIS) y Economía de Movimientos. Se obtuvo un
Shape44.42 % de reducción de los TME en los puestos de trabajo de Tendido, Remalle y en el proceso de Abastecimiento de Rollo, asimismo, una reducción de 849 horas de ausentismo y un ahorro de 5096 soles por año.The textile manufacturing industry is of great importance, particularly in developing countries such as Peru, since it is the second biggest contributor to GDP in the manufacturing. In 2017, problems in the textile sector accounted for 19% of the issues in the manufacturing sector, of which 15.8% were health problems; namely, skeletal muscle diseases generating skeletal muscle disorders (MSD), this was due to bad practices and an inadequate design of work stations. The importance of working in an adequate work environment is directly related to the prevention of skeletal muscle disorders and work absences. Several studies indicate the importance of an adequate work station design, as well as the correct use of ergonomic methodologies, to be able to evaluate and validate them. However, these focus on the validation of the methodology and not of the process that it encompasses; from the formulation of proposals until validation of them. That is why, the present study is focused on a workstation redesign model that ranges from design proposals to its validation; using observational ergonomic techniques such as REBA, RULA and NIOSH and engineering tools such as Material Handling System (MHS), Method Study, Systematic Interrogation Technique (SIT) and Movement Economics. A 44.42% reduction of the TME was obtained in the jobs of “Tendido”, “Remalle” and in the process of “Abastecimiento de rollo”, also, a reduction of 849 hours of absenteeism and a saving of 5096 soles per year.

El texto completo de este trabajo no está disponible en el Repositorio Académico UPC por restricciones de la casa editorial donde ha sido publicado.The textile sector presents a general problem, due to the increasing introduction of international products (Chinese, Hindu, etc.) due to the low cost of labor and the use of high-tech equipment, this forces companies in the field to improve their productive processes, produce more with less, and reduce costs from the most basic jobs. Therefore, it is proposed to implement the Lean methodology, focusing directly on the optimization of production processes using its various tools and a selection of indicators for monitoring the results. To validate, a case study was carried out in a real company that implemented the different Lean tools and the Kaizen matrix in the dyeing and finishing process, a process that presents a high percentage of defects. This allowed us to effectively reduce the number of reprocesses by a significant 8.14%, which allowed the company to save $ 184,320.42.

Full textAbstract:
A review on free trade principle in theory and practice suggests that trade liberalization is merely rhetoric under which industrialized countries can pursue specific interests of certain actors more deceptively. The purpose of this thesis is to testify whether this preliminary result on general trade issues is valid in the textile and clothing sector as well. The reasons for the author to narrow her research scope down to this industry are that: first, textiles and clothing had been subject to consistent trade protectionism for more than thirty years since the discriminatory Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA) in 1974; second, the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) in 1995 was designed to remove all quota restrictions by 1st January 2005 via a ten-year transitional period; third, the European Union (EU) raised safeguard investigations within four months after the expiry of the agreement, and succeeded in re-introducing quantitative restraints back to this sector. The intense and dramatic Europe-China textile dispute in 2005 started from the completion of quota abolishment, but ended up with quota re-imposition, which inspires the author to ask whether the European Union’s trade liberalization in the textile and clothing sector is rhetoric or reality. The thesis examines the conventional stance of the Union’s textile and clothing policy, the actual fulfillment of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), and the development of the Europe-China trade dispute on in 2005. In order to identify involved interest groups and their demands during the implementation of the agreement and in the dispute shortly afterwards, the thesis also analyzes: first, the interaction between protectionist lobbying groups and national governments at the Union’s level; and second, the divergence on the attitudes towards China’s expansion in the European market among member states. Comparing the Union’s early promises in the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) with its actual behaviors during implementation and in dispute, the author finally concludes that the Union’s trade liberalization in the textile and clothing sector is merely rhetoric under which the European Union (EU) pursues the protectionist interests of its domestic textile and clothing producers and those member states with substantial textile and clothing industry.

Poco se ha estudiado sobre la adquisición de tejidos para la fabricación de prendas en Perú, pese a ser una actividad fundamental dentro del sector. En este sentido, no se ha abordado antes el análisis de los factores decisorios para su compra; por lo que consideramos relevante la realización del presente estudio. Para contextualizar nuestro tema, en el primer capítulo, se analiza el desarrollo y evolución del sector textil a nivel mundial; las importaciones de tejidos desde China a Perú, particularmente la subpartida nacional 6004100000; y la situación actual del Tratado de Libre Comercio con China y sus implicancias para la subpartida en cuestión. En el segundo capítulo, se propone una investigación de método inductivo bajo un enfoque cualitativo, en donde se exponen los objetivos, problemas e hipótesis de esta; así como también, los grupos de actores considerados: importadores, proveedores y/o fabricantes; sector público; expertos y gremios. Como parte del levantamiento de información, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas. En el tercer capítulo, se detallan y analizan los resultados de las entrevistas. En el cuarto capítulo, presenta el procesamiento de la información levantada y se exponen los hallazgos. También, se especifican las limitaciones y brechas de información en la investigación, y las futuras líneas de estudio que nacen a partir de ella. Finalmente, en el quinto capítulo, se concluye que los principales determinantes en la decisión de compra son la mayor variedad de tejidos y precios más competitivos de China; además, se presentan las recomendaciones de la investigación.Little has been studied on fabric acquisition for garment manufacturing in Peru, despite being a fundamental activity within the sector. In this sense, the analysis of the decision factors for its purchase has not been addressed before; reason why we consider the realization of this study relevant. To contextualize our topic, in the first chapter, we analyze the development and evolution of the textile sector worldwide; fabric import from China to Peru, particularly the national subheading 6004100000; and the current situation of the Free Trade Agreement with China and its implications for the subheading in question. In the second chapter, an inductive research method is proposed under a qualitative approach, and its objectives, problems and hypotheses are exposed; as well as, the groups of relevant actors: importers, suppliers and/or manufacturers; public sector, experts and guilds. As part of the information gathering, semi-structured interviews were conducted. In the third chapter, the interviews’ results are detailed and analyzed. In the fourth chapter, we present the information processing. Limitations and information gaps on this study are specified; as well as, future research opportunities based on it. Finally, in the fifth chapter, it is concluded that the main determinants in the purchase decision are the larger variety of fabric and the more competitive prices from China; besides, the recommendations of the investigation are presented.

As debate over the role of multinational enterprises has changed over time, many developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have aggressively sought to attract foreign direct investment in order to gain from the expected benefits associated with investment of this nature. There has been a shift in policies and an introduction of various incentives to attract investment. New possibilities appear to be associated with the participation of developing countries in increasingly complex global divisions of labour which are orchestrated by multinational companies .across borders. In this context, attention has turned to analysing the role of multinational enterprises in orchestrating global commodity chains in which developing countries can participate.

Full textAbstract:
For companies operating within the garment manufacturing industry, having frequent downtimes in their production flows is an extremely common issue. In this context, a balanced production line is required to prevent high waiting times due to limited productive capacity. A well-balanced assembly line allows products to be produced in an optimum time while using less resources, such as machines, materials, or labour, since the right number of products is produced with the exact amount of resources, thus generating savings in production costs. This paper seeks to foster optimum resource allocation through the line balancing tool. Finally, to define a work methodology, best practices were selected, and a procedures manual was developed focusing on Standardization. Both tools were implemented after implementing changes to the company culture by means of the Employee Empowerment tool. As a result of this implementation, workers acquired greater accountability and control over the resources, methods, and equipment of their work areas. After the proposed improvements had been deployed, the company reported an increase of over 20% in production line quality, performance, and efficiency.

En el presente documento se presentará el proyecto de ropa con tecnología de cierre magnético para personas con alguna discapacidad (18+) y para personas de la tercera edad (65+), cuyo estudio de mercado se realizó en la zona urbana de Lima Metropolitana. Dicho estudio arrojó una demanda insatisfecha debido a la falta de tiendas virtuales de prendas de vestir que brinden atención exclusiva a este segmento. Por eso, nació la idea de negocio “Easy Fit”, una marca de ropa que tiene como fin brindar grandes beneficios, tales como autonomía y comodidad que permite a los clientes vestirse de manera rápida. Asimismo, se puede adaptar las prendas según lo que requiera el usuario.
Para poner en marcha este proyecto se realizó un análisis de los clientes, mercado y sector. Posteriormente, se desarrolló el Plan Estratégico, Plan de Operaciones, Plan de Marketing, Plan de Recursos Humanos, Plan de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial y el Plan Financiero. En los cuales se especifican los objetivos y estrategias que se deseas lograr en los primeros tres años.This document will present the project of clothing with magnetic closure technology for people with some disabilities (18+) and for people seniors (65+), whose market study was carried out in the urban area of Lima Metropolitana. This study yielded unmet demand due to the lack of virtual clothing stores that provide exclusive attention to this segment. That's why the "Easy Fit" business idea was born, a clothing brand that aims to deliver great benefits, such as autonomy and comfort that allows customers to dress quickly. You can also adapt the garments according to what the user requires. In order to launch this project, an analysis of costumers, market and sector was done previously. In addition, a Strategic Plan, an Operations Plan, a Marketing Plan, a Human Resources Plan, a Corporate Social Responsibility Plan and a Financial Plan were also developed, in which the objectives and strategies to be achieved in the first three years are specified.

Because it makes up such a large share of world trade, it is especially important to understand what determines effectiveness in exporting. Despite much empirical research, especially over recent decades, the state of knowledge on this topic remains fragmented, unclear and unsatisfactory. The motivation for the present study was therefore twofold: dissatisfaction with the present state of knowledge in this vital area and the importance to the UK economy of improving its export performance in a world of increasing competition. Its aim was to contribute to the resolution of both. In addition to finding what appeared to be quite serious methodological problems in a group of earlier studies, our review of the literature indicated that the best prospects for identifying the determinants of effective exporting were to be found, not at national or sectoral level but at that of the individual firm. Accordingly, an empirical survey research project was developed. To minimise unquantifiable inter-sectoral variability, it was focused on a single sector of industry. For a range of reasons, including the limited amount of information available about its current export activity and prospects, the UK knitted apparel industry was chosen. Special care having been taken to assemble the fullest possible sampling frame and to develop a suitable instrument (which included an export performance model), a mail survey in the form of a stratified random sample of exporting UK manufacturers of knitted apparel was carried through from late 2000. Persistent follow-up by mail and telephone generated a response rate of 70 per cent, comprising close to half of the sampling frame, that was representative of all company size bands, levels of exporting and products. The overall quality of the responses was good; tests of non-response did not find any indications of non-response bias. Data analysis, designed to test thoroughly our 10 export-determinants hypotheses, relied primarily on Pearsonian correlation at the bivariate level then sequentially on Multiple Regression Analysis, Canonical Correlation Analysis and Partial Least Squares. A perhaps slightly novel aspect of the research was that it was not solely cross-sectional in format; a longitudinal element was provided by drawing on the researcher's earlier surveys ; and a panel element by following-up, in 2007, the main 2000 field survey. Where possible, these data were drawn upon in the analysis and interpretation. There did not appear to be any conflict between the three multivariate techniques employed and indeed their findings were not dissimilar. The outcome of the data analysis was to uphold, to varying degrees, most of our hypotheses about the determinants of effective or successful exporting. Those that did not find support were three: firm size, product adaptation, and price determination method. Most strongly supported as determinants were promotional intensity, serving many markets and visits to trade fairs/exhibitions; others which were statistically significant, included management commitment, special staff skills and the use of Commission Agents. While the conclusions must remain a bit tentative they are encouraging.

El Perú es considerado como el mayor productor de algodón en las regiones de la costa y selva, donde se cultivan dos tipos variedades representativas como es el algodón Pima y Tangüis. No solo Perú es productor, sino también exportador de una de las más importantes partidas arancelarias dentro del sector textil, los t-shirts de algodón, el cual ha se ha visto afectado desfavorablemente durante los años 2009 al 2015. Por lo cual, se elaboró la presente investigación que tiene como fin determinar cómo se presentó la disminución de las exportaciones de t-shirts de algodón peruano al mercado de Estados Unidos. En primer lugar, se realizó una descripción de la cultura exportadora, la defensa comercial y los obstáculos técnicos del comercio de las exportaciones de t-shirts de algodón. Estas se identificaron dentro del periodo de tiempo analizado del 2009 hasta el 2015 que en ese tiempo determinado se tuvo un mayor panorama de la situación que estaba pasando el sector textil. En segundo lugar, para contar con una obtención de los resultados efectiva, se utilizó el diseño metodológico no experimental, donde se elaboró un cuestionario a los expertos de la materia y encuestas a las empresas exportadoras que representaban mayor porcentaje en el sector. Finalmente, se tiene como resultado frente a los factores predominantes en las exportaciones que han tenido un impacto negativamente en las exportaciones peruanas de t-shirts de algodón en las empresas textileras nacionales, a raíz de la fuerte competencia internacional, la cultura exportadora, la defensa comercial y los obstáculos técnicos al comercio.Peru is considered as the largest cotton producer in the coastal and jungle regions, where two representative varieties such as Pima and Tangüis cotton are grown. Not only Peru is a producer, but also an exporter of one of the tariff items within the textile sector, cotton t-shirts, which has been adversely affected during the years 2009 to 2015. Therefore, the present one was elaborated on research that aims to determine what were the main causes that predominated in the decline of exports of Peruvian cotton t-shirts to the United States market. First, each of the causes that were representative of the low exports of cotton t-shirts was analyzed, such as export culture, trade defense and technical barriers to trade. These were identified within the period analyzed from 2009 to 2015 that at that given time there was a greater panorama of the situation that the textile sector was going through. Secondly, to obtain the results, the non-experimental methodological design was used, where a questionnaire was designed for the subject matter experts and surveys of exporting companies that represented a higher percentage in the sector. Finally, it results in the predominant factors of exports that have harmed on Peruvian exports of cotton t-shirts in national textile companies, due to strong international competition, export culture, defense commercial and technical obstacles to trade.

Full textAbstract:
The new international division of labour has transformed the economic structure of Turkey from an import-substituted to an export-oriented economy. Starting from the early 90s, many Moldovan migrants began to come to Turkey in order to work temporarily in the informal economy. They worked in clothing and shoe ateliers until the beginning of this century. Nowadays many Moldovan migrants work in clothing shops as Russian-speaking sales assistants and in the cargo firms as carriers.
Based on this historical context, this study explores the changing labour market position and workplace interactions of irregular Moldovan migrants, who are working in the textile/clothing sector in Istanbul, Turkey. I firstly try to understand the mechanisms of the changing labour market positions of irregular migrants by focusing on the factors and agents behind these dynamic processes. Secondly, I intend to analyze the labour process control regimes and resistance in the workplaces where migrants work. With this aim in view, I conducted field research in Istanbul consisting of 35 in depth and informal interviews with Moldovan migrants, Turkish employers and Turkish employees.
As a result of the analyses of my findings, I first observed that although foreign workers cannot change the exploitative working conditions, they can find ways of escaping from exploitative working conditions in a context. Secondly, the level of exploitation in informal working conditions are not only determined by the necessities of capitalist accumulation regimes and the migration policies of the state but also by the preferences of employers based on economic and cultural motives but also.

In many parts of the Global South, including India, a significant number of informal workers, particularly women in the informal economy, engage in sewing, embroidery, and other forms of manufacturing work within informal segments of the textile and clothing sector. Despite substantial progress in labor rights and workplace safety regulations, the persistence of hazardous workplace conditions renders such workers vulnerable to potentially disabling forms of 'Repetitive strain injuries'. 'Repetitive strain injuries' frequently result from poor ergonomic design of workplace equipment. This thesis on India's informal textile and clothing sector studies the usage characteristics of workplace technologies at the organizational and individual levels, and their interactions with broader social and institutional arrangements that characterize informal sewing units. In partnership with Usha International Ltd. and SEWA (Self Employed Women's Association) Bharat, the thesis demonstrates how context-sensitive ergonomic interventions can be developed for and with those working within the informal textile and clothing economy. The thesis achieves this by studying ergonomic risk from the bottom-up by using focus group discussions and key informant interviews, with the goal of (1) collecting both qualitative and quantitative information and (2) facilitating the unveiling of hidden rationalities that influence workplace decision making and studying their implications for technical and policy solutions.

nÃo hÃThis research analyzes the impact of the SIMPLES in the generation of employment in the textile/clothing sector in Brazilian regions, during the period of 1995-2005. As database, RAIS from Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) was used and the observation units are the Brazilian micro- regions. The methodology is based on descriptive statistics and on an econometric (pooling) model of data in panel that captures the regional and temporal impacts. It was found that there was a significant increase in the number of registered jobs in the Micro and Small Enterprises( MPE`s) after the implementation of SIMPLES. The impacts were generally positive as expected, and statistically significant for all regions. Temporaly speaking, the impacts were both positive and significant, being more expressive in the period of 2000-2005, indicating a growing adherence to the SIMPLES of MPEâs over the time. In the end, it`s possible to conclude that, despite its possible limitations of model, SIMPLES has contributed for the growing number of registered jobs in the textile/clothing sector.

Foi utilizada como base de dados a RAIS do MinistÃrio do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE) e como unidade de observaÃÃo, as microrregiÃes brasileiras. A metodologia de anÃlise concentra-se em estatÃsticas descritivas e em um modelo economÃtrico( pooling) de dados em painel que capta os impactos regional e temporal. Constatou-se que houve um aumento significativo no nÃmero de vÃnculos empregatÃcios nas Micro e Pequenas Empresas (MPE`s) da cadeia tÃxtil/confecÃÃo apÃs a implantaÃÃo do SIMPLES. Os impactos espaciais foram, no geral, positivos, como esperado, e estatisticamente significantes para todas as regiÃes. Em termos temporais, os impactos foram positivos e significantes, sendo expressivo no sub perÃodo de 2000-2005, indicando uma crescente adesÃo ao SIMPLES pelas MPE`s com o passar do tempo. Finalmente, Ã possÃvel concluir que, apesar das possÃveis limitaÃÃes do modelo, o SIMPLES contribuiu para o crescimento do nÃmero de vÃnculos empregatÃcios e estabelecimentos na cadeia tÃxtil/confecÃÃo no perÃodo de 1995-2005.

El objetivo de la presente investigación es determinar el impacto del control interno de inventarios basado en el modelo COSO ERM y elaborar procedimientos para mejorar la rentabilidad de las Empresas Mypes de Fabricación de Telas de Tejido Punto en el Emporio Comercial de Gamarra, año 2018.
Las MYPES son un elemento importante en la economía nacional ya que representan el 99% de empresas en el país y el 93.5% de MYPES del sector textil-confecciones se concentra en Gamarra, en donde el 27.7% se dedica a la fabricación de productos textiles. Esta industria representa una parte importante de la producción manufacturera al llegar a 8.9% del PBI. Asimismo, existen factores que limitan su desarrollo empresarial como la falta de financiamiento, falta de apoyo gubernamental, problemas de infraestructura en el almacén y el escaso conocimiento sobre el control interno de sus inventarios, lo que ha generado que se vean seriamente afectadas tras el incremento de la competencia de productos importados en el sector textil en los últimos años.
El enfoque del estudio es mixto, iniciamos con entrevistas a los dueños empresarios conocedores del desarrollo del negocio con el fin de validar los principales factores. Luego se realizó encuestas a 30 MYPES del sector Textil de tejido punto que operan dentro de Gamarra.
Los resultados obtenidos concluyen que los factores que intervienen en la decisión de incorporar un adecuado control interno de inventarios basado en el modelo COSO ERM influyen significativamente en la rentabilidad de las empresas textiles de tejido punto en Gamarra, y que su aplicación adecuada les permitirá destacar en el buen manejo de sus inventarios.The objective of this research is to determine the Internal Inventory Control based on the COSO ERM model and develop procedures to improve the profitability of the MYPES Knitted fabric manufacturing companies at the Gamarra Commercial Emporium, year 2018. MYPEs are an important element in the national economy as they represent 99% of the companies on the country, and 93.5% of the textile-clothing MYPEs are concentrated on the Gamarra area, there 27.7% are dedicated to textile products manufacturing. This industry represents an important part of the manufacturing production, reaching up to 8.9% of the GDP. There area also factors that limit their business development, such as a lack of financing, lack of government support, infrastructure problems on their warehouses and their poor knowledge of the internal inventory control, all of which have caused them to be seriously affected after the increased competition of imported textile products on the sector in recent years. The study focus was mixed, we began with interviews of businesses owners who know about their business development in order to validate the main factors. Then, 30 MYPEs surveys, of the knitted textile sector operating within Gamarra, were carried out. The obtained results bring us to the conclusion that the related factors to the decision to incorporate an adequate internal inventory control based on the COSO ERM model significantly influence the profitability of the textile knitting companies in Gamarra, and its proper application will allow them to stand out in the good management of their inventories.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Economia InternacionalOs têxteis e vestuário constituem uma das mais antigas e tradicionais indústrias transformadoras em todo o mundo. Ainda hoje, o processo de industrialização nos países de economia menos avançada encontra nesta indústria o motor do seu desenvolvimento. Ao longo dos séculos ela tem sido motivo de interesse, debate e acção por parte dos governos. Mas, tratando-se de uma indústria tradicional o que a torna tão polémica? - A razão está na sua substancial contribuição para o produto, emprego e comércio externo dos países. Analisamos as alterações estruturais durante as duas últimas décadas e os factores que condicionam as mudanças e ajustamentos. A necessidade de reestruturar advém das pressões geradas por mudanças na tecnologia, organização, procura, distribuição, pela globalização da produção e liberalização do comércio internacional. Neste cenário, surgem dois grandes grupos de países: os que, com custos salariais mais baixos, têm vindo a aumentar a produção e as exportações, e os países de alto rendimento que têm vindo a reduzir progressivamente a produção mas empolando as importações. Este tipo de desenvolvimentos tem dado origem a posições controversas, colocando-se a questão de saber se esta indústria terá futuro, em termos da sua competitividade, nos paises de economia avançada. Veremos que esta indústria na União Europeia tem condições intrínsecas que lhe conferem competitividade. Contudo, a questão central neste nosso trabalho é a indústria portuguesa dos têxteis e vestuário. É claramente reconhecida a sua importância como fonte de emprego, com impacto especial em algumas regiões, e a sua contribuição para o valor acrescentado bruto e na balança comercial portuguesa. Portugal possui uma longa experiência nesta indústria que remonta ao século passado e a existência de uma fileira e proximidade geográfica aos mercados europeus são oportunidades únicas. Utilizámos como base de análise dados estatísticos que nos permitem posicionar o nosso país no contexto europeu, bem como os resultados de questionários dirigidos a algumas empresas, procurando cobrir todos os segmentos. As nossas conclusões indicam que Portugal poderá ter uma indústria competitiva se os esforços de reestruturação forem concentrados em produtos especializados privilegiando atributos como: qualidade, design, imagem, resposta rápida, fabricados por empresas flexíveis e líderes inovadores.
Textiles and clothing constitute one of the oldest and most traditional manufacturing industries in the world. Even today, the industrialisation process in developing countries continues to meet in this industry its motor of development. Over the centuries it lias been a subject of interest, debate and government action. But, if it is a traditional activity what renders this industry so polemic? - The reason is: the substantial contribution to manufacturing output, employment and foreing exchange earnings. We perform a study of the changing industry1 s structure during the last two decades and the factors that influence the changes and adjustments. The need to restructure this industry stems from the pressures generated by changes in technology, organization, demand, distribution and the globalisation of production and liberalization of international trade. In this scenario, two main groups of countries now face each other in this industry: the low labour cost with continuously rising production and exports and high income countries, with declining production but rising imports. This type of developments has given rise to beliefs that this industry in advanced industrialised countries will have a gloomy future and will no longer be competitive. Can we confirm such beliefs?- We will see that the European UnioiTs textile and clothing industry is able to continue to compete vigorously. Central to our concerns is the case of the portuguese textile and clothing industry. It is clearly known its importance as a source of employment, namely in some specific regions, and its contribution to the national value added and foreign exchange earnings. Portugal has a very old textile tradition, since the last century, and the existence of a rank and our proximity to the european markets are fundamental issues in the future potencial of this industry. We have used as research background a profusion of statistical data concerning the portuguese position in the european scenario, as well as the answers of a questionnaire applied to a certain number of companies covering ali segments of the textile rank. Our conclusions indicate that the portuguese textile and clothing industry may become a very competitive one if restructuring efforts concentrate on specialized products emphasizing quality, design, image, quick response, which should be produced by flexible companies with innovative leadership.

The sector provides more than 463 thousand jobs and represents 7.4% of the GDP. Most of the companies, mostly family businesses, do not have enough knowledge to implement a management model according to productivity standards and expected level of service. This article proposes a production model for the clothing industry based on Lean management, combining SIPOC, VSM, 5S techniques and a production system to increase profitability in the short term and make it sustainable in time. The model is validated by a case study in a representative company of the sector. The proposed activities were monitored through the study of work indicators, in which the results indicate an increase in productivity by 59% and the fulfillment by 48%.

La existencia de retrasos en la entrega de pedidos en las pymes del sector textil-confección, la creciente demanda de los clientes por obtener un producto de calidad y percibir los pedidos a tiempo ha obligado a las organizaciones a implementar modelos de mejora en sus sistemas productivos. Por tal motivo, este artículo propone utilizar un modelo que se adapte a la reducción de tiempos de entrega en las líneas productivas de empresas de confección basado en la aplicación de manera combinada de buenas prácticas, herramientas y conceptos de manufactura esbelta. Esta combinación se enfatiza en la utilización del mapa de flujo de valor (VSM) como herramienta de diagnóstico, estandarización como oportunidad de mejora y un sistema modular que resalta conceptos esbeltos que son aplicables para minimizar el tiempo de inventarios en proceso. Logrando obtener como resultado la reducción de un 24% en el tiempo de espera total de las prendas.The existence of delays in the delivered orders in SMEs in the clothing sector, the growing demand of customers to obtain a quality product and receive the orders on time has forced organizations to implement improvement models in their production systems. For these reasons, this article proposes to use a model that adapts to the reduction of delivery times in the production lines of garment companies based on the combined application of good practices, tools and concepts of lean manufacturing. This combination emphasizes the use of the value stream map (VSM) as a diagnostic tool, work standardization as an opportunity for improvement and a modular system that highlights lean concepts that are applicable to minimize the time of inventories in process. Achieving a 24% reduction in the total lead time of the garments.
