Objective
There are therefore two lines of action in this project:
-By telematic linkage, garment collection data, as requested by the garment mill, are converted into suitable parameters to be transmitted to the production departments
-by the development of an expert system allowing production management through a short term production planning, as outlined in the former phase, and constant adjustment in the light of the daily production performances.
An integrated production management system has been developed for the weaving industry which achieves:
a reduction in the setting up time of the sampling agreed between the producer and the customer;
implementation of a standardized data exchange protocol between producer and customer;
continuous monitoring of the production and performance with immediate tracking of the work underway.
The world textile-apparel market is marked by a fierce fight for competitiveness between DCs and ICs. The latter ones have relatively strong positions in high-quality production sectors, but, in order to maintain such a relative advantage, they have to improve more and more their operative flexibility.
A textile firm, in order to achieve the maximum flexibility in the production process, faces two fundamental problems:
-to reach complete harmonization between the production technical data and the product structural characteristics requested by the costumer (garment mill)
-consistent production planning, meeting scheduled delivery times keeping to assigned priorities, coping with disruptions to the outlined production planning.
