The E-transformation roadmap developed by the University of Western Sydney, Australia, is applied to the Garment Industry to deal with it’s requirement to ...

The garment industry has, in a remarkably short period of time, emerged as the preeminent industrial sector in Cambodia. The rapid growth of garment exports has created new opportunities for wage employment in manufacturing and, for workers in rural areas, a possible path out of small-scale agriculture. However, the rapid gains made by the garment industry may prove to be transient in the face ...

Virtual garment design and simulation involves a combination of a large range of techniques, involving mechanical simulation, collision detection, and user interface techniques for creating garments. Here, we perform an extensive review of the evolution of these techniques made in the last decade to bring virtual garments to the reach of computer applications not only aimed at graphics, but als...

The garment manufacturing industry involves sequential processes that are subjected to uncontrollable variations. The industry depends on the skill of labour in handling the varieties of fabrics and accessories, machines, as well as complicated sewing operation. Due to these reasons, garment manufacturers have created systems to monitor and to control the quality of the products on a regular ba...

Despite numerous methods available for cloth simulation, virtual garment prototyping has yet to find its way toward the garment industry, the main issues being simulation accuracy and the potentiality for reproducing the complex behavior of complex garment models. These goals can only be reached through an optimal combination of modeling techniques and numerical methods that combines high compu...

With the development of China computer technology and social economy, the requirement to the quality, the fitness and individuation is higher and higher, and the present two-dimensional garment CAD technology has not fulfilled the requirement of CAD application in the garment industry, so the garment CAD urgently needs to be developed from the present panel design to the 3D design. Therefore, i...

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...

Improving the reusability of design results is very important for garment design industry, since designing an elegant garment is usually labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we present a new approach for customizing 3D garment models. Our approach can transfer garment models initially dressed on a reference human model onto a target human model. To achieve this goal, firstly a spa...

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...

In today’s garment industry, garment defects have to be minimized so as to fulfill the expectations of demanding customers who seek products of high quality but low cost. However, without any data mining tools to manage massive data related to quality, it is difficult to investigate the hidden patterns among defects which are important information for improving the quality of garments. This pap...
