Synopsis

The era of mass manufacturing of clothing and other textile products is coming to an end; what is emerging is a post-industrial production system that is able to achieve the goal of mass-customised, low volume production, where the conventional borders between product design, production and user are beginning to merge. There is a need to design better clothing manufacturing processes grounded in science, technology, and management to help the clothing industry to compete more effectively. Design of clothing manufacturing processes reviews key issues in the design of more rapid, integrated and flexible clothing manufacturing processes.

Key Features: considers in detail the design of sizing and classification systems; discusses the planning required in all aspects of clothing production from design and pattern making to manufacture; overviews the management of clothing production and material quality requirements.

Contents: Clothing classification systems; Clothing sizing systems; Key issues in developing a garment collection; Planning and organisation of clothing production; Planning of clothing design, pattern making and cutting; Planning clothing manufacturing; Clothing production management; Quality requirements for clothing materials.
