Benchmarking the clothing industry effectiveness by computer simulation

摘要

The textile and apparel artefacts business is facing relevant restructuring, to manufacture items with enhanced value as for quality reliability and fashion inventiveness. The industrial area characterises by wit and knowledge driven settings, followed by labour intensive shop lay-outs and, so far, to improve effectiveness, productive break-up is exploited, with advertising and creative firms fed by decentralised processing sections, to distribute the work according to wages and skills figures. Business success is sought, balancing added value and cost reduction, by productive decentralisation aiming at preserving quality critical jobs under direct control (e.g. by means of automatic cutting machines) and transferring routine labour jobs (e.g. the sewing of already assorted pieces).
