An AHP-based Approach to the Optimum Selection of Fabrics Used for Close-fitting Garments

摘要

The properties and style of fabrics significantly affect the wear performance of garments, especially close-fit garments, because the fabrics directly contacts the skin. A comprehensive framework for an optimum selection of fabrics for a particular close- fit garment was presented and a hierarchical model was created by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is a systems analysis method for solving decision problems in many fields. By using the AHP method, a new approach to choose fabrics was proposed. Fabric selection became quantitative rather than qualitative.
