Physiological conditions

When the requirements of work are such that a man can overcome them by making an effort, the functional ability of his body and his health are not endangered and there is ergonomic balance. In that sense, the physiology of work deals with:

o Defining the workload;

o Defining the requirements of work;

o Studying human physiological abilities and the size of physiological effort he can make in order to respond to the requirements of work.

(1) Defining the workload

Performing each work is a kind of a burden for the body. The type, intensity and duration of the load depend on the work. Physiological workloads should be such that the body can respond to them through physiological functions, i.e. to maintain homeostasis when working. The load that can not be overcome leads to disorders of homeostasis (the balance in the body is lost) which is an overload that causes fatigue. In case of further increasing the intensity of overload, there is a pathological response of the body, i.e. fatigue. 

Loads can be physical, mental and sensory.

Physical work (the work of skeletal muscles) is a major cause of physical load because of work. Physical work means the work that a man does while overcoming the burden and resistance. Physical work can be dynamic and static work.

(2) Defining the requirements of work

Requirements of work define what the workload and adverse effects require from the organism of workers and can be the following:

- Requests for certain functions of the organism. In addition to general health conditions, the work requires some particularly preserved functions of organs and systems or some particularly preserved or marked morphological features of a man. 

- Requests for certain age limits of a worker. Depending on the age, some functions are established, some are changed, some disappear or are reduced, so that the same work shall not place the same demands on quite young, middle-aged or older workers. 

- Requests for a specific sex of a worker. These requirements are not common, and are based on specific differences in the physiology of female and male body. 

(3) Size of physiological effort

A man must make an effort in order to deal with the load imposed by a certain work. The analysis of work can specify which functions of the body will be exposed to the influence of that work. So the individual workplace should always be analysed, not the occupation.

The bigger the load is, the bigger the effort is, although not all the people make the same effort to deal with the same load. In determining the effort, the following has to be determined:

- the limit of physiological strain at rest,

- the level of physiological response to  work impact, and

- the boundary between physiological and pathological responses.

CONSTRUCTION AND MODELLING SKIRT

Waist girth= 74 cm

Hips girth = 98 cm

Description of work

By default the vertical line of measure:

Point 1 to Point 2 = waist to hip = 20 cm to 22 cm

Point 1 to Point 3 = skirt length = 60 cm

Point 2 to Point 4 = 1/2 waist to hip + 2 cm to 3 cm = 54 cm to 55 cm

Point 5 is the half distance between Point 2 and Point 4.

From the Point 5 and Point 4 draw vertical lines down and up and get Point 7. 

For forming the side seam for a 1 cm raised the extra horizontal line of the belt line.

Point 1 to Point 6 = 1/2 waist girth + 1 cm

Point 7 to Point 6 = surplus that is distributed to the side seams and dart.

V INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND INNOVATIVE APPROACH

IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY

TEXTILE DESIGN / TECHNOLOGY / MANAGEMENT

Cross Cultural Management

Business on a global level leads to connecting and communicating between people of different cultures and customs. It is therefore essential that managers and employees recognize and respect the culture and traditions of other nations they do business with, because it is a basic requirement for effective communication and business success. It is especially important to adjust approaches, methods and techniques of managing business processes and actions in conditions of significant cultural differences, which is the main task of Cross Cultural Management.

Cross Cultural Management is a new management approach or a new specialized discipline of management, which was created under the influence of the globalization process and deals with managing various business processes and actions in terms of large cultural differences, aiming to spread new knowledge, experience and values in different surroundings and enable more efficient operations.

Fast Fashion

Fast fashion can be defined as a business model that combinesfour elements:

§  fashionable clothes mostly for consumers under 40;

§  affordable prices in the mid-to-low range;

§  quick response;

§  frequent assortment changes.

Difference between fast fashion and traditional retailing is the way assortments are managed. For many years the industry has worked around the concept of collections. Assortments are updated twice a year: at the beginning of the calendar year, the Spring-Summer collection is introduced; at the end of the summer the Fall-Winter collection is released. This industry-wide pace of change has been supported by design (cool hunting), communication (catwalks and store mock-ups where media and wholesale customers are invited), sales and marketing (catalogs, advertising) that follow similar biannual patterns.

Retail product management

Retail product management is not just about making sure that the best product range is available in the store. Equally important to the customer is how products are presented to them.The way products are displayed, whether it is on a shelf in a store or on a web site, the logic of the layout, the relationship between one product group and another and the atmosphere created around the products, are all-important aspects of the retail product management process.

In a small retail organisation product management may be incorporated into the general running of the store. In a quiet moment an owner/manager may phone through an order to a supplier or stock up a depleted shelf display; but in large retail organisations product management is an extensive task, involving many different layers of management and dedicated teams of experts in massive central buying offices.

IMPORTANCE KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATIONS FOR THE FASHION INDUSTRY

Creating a brand and success comes largely as a result of innovation. While competitive advantage can arise as a consequence of the size of the company or disposition of resources, more and more dominant position in the market occupied by companies that are able to mobilize knowledge, technology skills and experience to constantly create new products, and processes and services. The presented conceptualization of knowledge management is based on the need for synergy between the capabilities of advanced information technologies and human creativity and innovation to realize goals in turbulent business environment. We can say that the knowledge management is the mental, behavioural and cultural shift from the old adage ‘knowledge is power’ to the new mindset ‘sharing knowledge is power’.

Fashion and Development in the Garment Industry

Fashion industry is a multimillion industry. Garment industry is divided into the production of clothes and fashion products. It is focused on achieving optimal results concerning supplies, preparation, production and distribution of fashion products. It is characterized by development of fashion trends, brands, development of distributive network and stores and optimization of logistics from production to retail stores.

Technical-technological development in the last forty years enabled garment industry to implement new methods and procedures and increase productivity while using new textiles and knitting. On that way the industry keeps up with more complex wishes of consumers, demands and fashion trends in the world. The most important tone concerning the rate of growth, design, fashion, utilization and size of assortment is given by centers of large consumption, i.e. the richest countries.

Fashion cycle

Product research means following its life cycle, which will signal company to appropriate adjusting of production program and its upgrading in regard to quality and assortment. Adjusting can be achieved by improving existing programs or conquering and launching new products in that very moment.

Fashion cycle (duration of fashion) is different for each product – it is longer for permanent consuming goods (few years) and shorter for clothes and shoes (few months). When a product becomes a fashion one, after being launched on the market, it is necessary to make certain changes on it at the right time in order to remain such for a long period of time. While creating a new fashion style of product these things should be taken into account:

·   Costs of changing and of new production.

·    Promotion of new product on the market.

Design and marketing

by Dr Danijela Paunovic

Apparel technology has experienced radical changes caused by technological development, automation of production processes, computer applications and the occurrence of competitive international garment producers (China, India ...).

In the production of textiles, which are inevitably moved to the east of the country, clothing industry still exists as a specific, dominant and leading European fashion industry (Paris, Milan, Rome ...). In the EU there is a clear commitment to achieve primacy not released, and a prerequisite for the full satisfaction of all customers from the standpoint of quality clothing products with an increasing emphasis on design as an important component of quality.

In the modern fashion industry's most successful manufacturers are those that have organized professional teams for the design and marketing, as dictated by the cycle of current fashion and easily introduce new fashion designs, thus surprising the competition.

Mass customization strategies

The garment industry is industry that forerunners in the application of mass customization. The reason behind this development can be seen in the fact that clothes offer the potential to all three possible dimensions of customization: fit (shape, measurements and size), functionality and aesthetic design (taste, forms).

Mass customization strategies can be used at any of these 5 stages in the production process:

1. Customer Involvement at the Design and Pattern Stage

The examples of developing systems which are present on the world market (Optitex, Gerber, Lectra, Investronika, Assyst) allow taking all variations of future garment into consideration. Their behaviour is simulated, their impact on the environment is analyzed, and simultaneous design is used aiming to obtain the best solution in the given conditions which reduce subsequent changes (correction model design, adjustments to fit in cutting layout for basic and supplementary material) to a minimum.

Creating a prototype model for industrial production in the formation of products in the clothing industry involves the development of CAD methods for the preparation of construction segments. The number of possible variations in colour, shape and design, modelling and re-modelling of garment is almost unlimited.

SWOT ANALYSIS IN DESIGNING NEW MODELS

Today designing and getting of new ideas in fashion industry should become an organised process that requires thorough, systematic approach that is given a basic direction both by a designer and a capable manager team. Such an educated and creative team ensures designing and gaining new articles of clothing as being the most important element in the development of garment industry done as planned and continually according to current situations and priorities.

In fashion industry this process is neglected, so many companies are struggling for their existence. It is necessary to do SWOT analysis in order to get marketing weapon and overcome all existing problems that is to take all advantages and eliminate weaknesses of the company.

It is possible to point out solutions and consequences by the analysis. As well as to show how a fashion industry should get better by the help of this analysis. SWOT analysis must be summarised, specific and to analyse key questions of each company but not ad-hoc suppositions that do not point out future actions. On the basis of SWOT analysis it is necessary to do detailed estimate of competition in fashion industry.

SWOT analysis is the method of strategic planning that enables analysis of estimates and combining of internal factors with information from external sources on the market and in business environment.

Fashion industry

Producers of clothes today do their business in conditions of rapid dynamics of changes and unstoppable trend of globalization, with many innovations and large competition. Whole world is treated as a potential source of production, and at the same time as a unique market of garments with the following characteristics:

- consumers - demands are getting bigger and changes of customers’ needs happen very quickly, thus strengthening their influence on business,

- competition - it is stronger and more able every day (every new fashion item is just a “temporary monopole”),

- new technologies - new technology, new machines and different cultures change potentials and needs,

- purchase - producers of clothes are getting more dependent on the chain of supply due to continuous changes and matching the offer to the customers’ needs, and also because of compulsory increasing of efficiency and decreasing of costs as the basis of competition (no supplies, no mistakes, no delays…),

- market - business ethics is a changeable category, and intentions and trends of competition are hard to follow.
