The Co-design Process in Mass Customization of Complete Garment Knitted Fashion Products
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is the result of a PhD thesis at Tampere University of Technology, Finland and comprises studies in the area of knitting technology and mass customization (MC). The research objective was to investigate the possibility of combining complete garment knitting with MC.The term mass production was first introduced in the 1920s and is often associated with the factories of automobile manufacturer Henry Ford [1]. Since then, almost all manufacturing of textiles and garments worldwide has taken place in factories using the industrial concept of mass production. For a long time, textiles continued to be produced in Europe and elsewhere. In the 1960s labour costs increased in many countries of Western Europe, and so a great amount of domestic textile and garment production moved overseas, where manufacturing was cheaper [2]. Here we have a problem, production in low-cost countries in Asia results in long lead times from identified demand on the market to the moment the customer can buy the product. According to Hoover the supply chain needs to be time-based, customer-oriented, and agile in response to changes in demand [3].
