Character Data Model and Architecture of Garment Based on Global Operation Model

With the rapid development of global economy, more and more companies begin to set up global operation model (GOM). However, some applications do not bring forecasting benefits because business models in GOM are different from the traditional business environments. Garment is the traditional industry. It needs to develop better business models and strategy to adapt to the global economy. What is the most important is to learn how to use IT to improve operation processing. An aim of garment operation model is to ensure that knowledge is shared and that the right information and knowledge is available in the right forms to the right entities at the right times for the right costs with the maximum integrated organizations. However, the processing of garment operation model is a complex system related to character data model, IT infrastructure and others that links them together with GOM. The GOM will have profound impact on the garment operation model. In this paper, we discuss garment character model based on GOM. Firstly, the key factors of GOM are summarized. Secondly, the character data model is set up, which is related to several definitions. Thirdly, the architecture of garment industry based on GOM is presented and the components of the architecture are analyzed.
