The objective of this action was to explore the challenge posed by information technology (IT) to the textile and shoe industries. The consortium comprised 2 textile manufacturers, 3 IT service companies and 2 universities.
The work examined IT support in several planning and manufacturing functions: collection design, product design (especially production cost estimation and artificial vision), nesting, scheduling, simulation and handling. The results of the action were presented at a workshop in Eindhoven in December 1991. The overall conclusion was that intelligent IT solutions are important in raising the competitiveness of the fashion induustry. Potential savings of up to 30% were identified in one of the functions studied.
