Objective Shoe Manufacturing in Europe faces an intense and growing competitive pressure brought forth by low-wage countries.To maintain competitiveness DOROTHY promotes a response based on the transformation of shoe industry and related business model meant to strengthen Europe’s ability to compete in terms of high added value for the customer (as cost-based competition is not compatible with the goal of maintaining the Community’s social and sustainability standards). This transformation relies, on one hand, on the development of tools for the design of customer driven adding value shoes and, on the other hand, on the realization of tools for the design, configuration and reconfiguration of flexible multi-site multi-nation production plants, meant to manufacture those customer driven shoes. DOROTHY mission is to “design customer driven shoes everywhere, manufacture them intelligently anywhere” as a crucial challenge for shoe industry to gain competitiveness in the global markets, also through better cooperation (and not only to compete) with low-wage countries. In order to address this challenge and to support the proposed new paradigm, DOROTHY fosters three main scientific and technological objectives and their corresponding research clusters: 1- Design tools for the intelligent customer driven and customer fit shoe, as added-value product/service; 2- Tools for advanced industrial engineering design of multi-site and multi-nation production systems and factories, based on the customer driven shoe; 3- New business models associated with the above mentioned paradigm, meant to support it; Given the global challenge addresses, the proposal is coupled with an IMS initiative Fields of science social scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementbusiness models Keywords Customer driven mass-customization multi-nation factory multi-site factory shoes manufacturing Programme(s) FP7-NMP - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies Topic(s) NMP-2007-3.3-1 - Innovative Customer-Driven Product-Service Design in a Global Environment Call for proposal FP7-NMP-2007-SMALL-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator SCUOLA UNIVERSITARIA PROFESSIONALE DELLA SVIZZERA ITALIANA Address Stabile le gerre 6928 Manno Switzerland See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Ticino Ticino Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Paolo Pedrazzoli (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 493 786,99 Participants (13) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all HUGO BOSS TICINO SA Switzerland EU contribution € 178 324,20 Address Via sant apollonia 32 6877 Coldrerio See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Kerstin Germann (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window ALPINA TOVARNA OBUTVE DD ZIRI Slovenia EU contribution € 192 917,00 Address Strojarska ulica 2 4226 Ziri See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Igor Zupan (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window TTS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER SYSTEMS SRL Italy EU contribution € 419 454,09 Address Largo caleotto 1 23900 Lecco lc See on map Region Nord-Ovest Lombardia Lecco Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Roberto Castellani (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window INSPIRE AG FUR MECHATRONISCHE PRODUKTIONSSYSTEME UND FERTIGUNGSTECHNIK Switzerland EU contribution € 333 152,70 Address Technoparkstrasse 1 8005 Zurich See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Zürich Zürich Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Jens Bathelt (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window UNIVERSITY OF STUTTGART Germany EU contribution € 304 207,11 Address Keplerstrasse 7 70174 Stuttgart See on map Region Baden-Württemberg Stuttgart Stuttgart, Stadtkreis Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Carmen Constantinescu (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window PANEPISTIMIO PATRON Greece EU contribution € 284 918,62 Address University campus rio patras 265 04 Rio patras See on map Region Κεντρική Ελλάδα Δυτική Ελλάδα Αχαΐα Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Nikolaos Papakostas (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE Italy EU contribution € 301 274,92 Address Piazzale aldo moro 7 00185 Roma See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Marco Sacco (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window ECOLE CENTRALE DE NANTES France EU contribution € 296 810,74 Address Rue de la noe 1 44321 Nantes cedex 3 See on map Region Pays de la Loire Pays de la Loire Loire-Atlantique Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Jean-Jacques York (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window C.T.C.
