Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to produce the findings of a research project seeking to develop and validate a model for measuring supply chain performance of organized garment retailing in India. Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws its conclusions from an analysis of survey data from samples of Indian organized garment retailing practitioners and consultants. The pre-pilot an...

24.1 INTRODUCTION Portable electronics have evolved rapidly over the last 10 years and now wear-able technologies are following the same trend. While multifunctional clothes are appearing on the market with a multitude of electronic devices incorporated onto the fabric, garment devices are articles of clothing with inherent electronic properties. Garment devices are the actual device, a new kin...

Modeling of three-dimensional garments is essential for creating realistic virtual environments and is very helpful for real-life garment design. While fashion drawings are commonly used to convey garment shape, so far little work had been done on using them as inputs to the 3D modeling process. We present a new approach for modeling of garments from fashion drawings. This approach combines an ...

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 i...

Automatic identification of garment design class might play an important role in the garments and fashion industry. To achieve this, essential initial works are found in the literature. For example, construction of a garment database, automatic segmentation of garments from real life images, categorizing them into the type of garments such as shirts, jackets, tops, skirts, etc. It is now essent...

We present a system to deal with the problem of classifying garments from a pile of clothes. This system uses a robot arm to extract a garment and show it to a depth camera. Using only depth images of a partial view of the garment as input, a deep convolutional neural network has been trained to classify different types of garments. The robot can rotate the garment along the vertical axis in or...

T he topic of the “credit crunch” received considerable attention during the early 1990s. As a result, several initiatives aimed at eliminating regulatory disincentives to lending were put in place. For example, documentation requirements recently were reduced to the legal minimum for loans to small and medium-sized businesses. Also, examiners and bankers were encouraged to emphasize the charac...

Garment retailing is a sunrise industry in India. However, the industrial competitiveness has posed many challenges for the organized garment retailers in this sector. In this paper an attempt has been made to identify the challenges based on strong literature support in consultation of practitioners and consultants in this industry. This study has classified the retail challenges for organizin...

This paper describes a technique for accelerating the computations on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) using parallel computing on a multicore CPU. The paper addresses a particular example of a mass-spring cloth model for garment simulation. The simulation starts from flat garment pattern meshes positioned around a 3D human body, then seaming forces are applied on the edges of the panels ...

A case study approach was used to explore the adoption of an RFID-based garment manufacturing information system in a garment factory in China. The findings indicate that both the technology push factors and need pull factors influence the intention of the garment factory to adopt RFID technology. Technology push factors include relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, extendibility, and ...
