Temporal evaluation of customized clothing patterns and pattern designs

With the development of garment manufacturing, huge amounts of garment production in short time has been possible; which led to an increase in the profitability of companies and meeting customer expectations. But in due course, with the increase of household income, customers started to ask for dressing different than other individuals instead of wearing same clothes with everyone. Therefore, in order to maintain the variety of styles in manufacturing, the production quantities have decreased and the production methods have been evolved in this direction. Accordingly, due to meet these new expectations, customized clothing production concept has been born. The main fact which differentiates this production method from the old style tailoring is that; the design is also personally customized. The fabric, color, design, pattern details of the cloths can be customized according to customer choice. All of above points naturally increase the cost of the product. However in this method, the main importance is the customers who aspire their dream cloth instead of the product price. With this research, the systems which is needed to meet the new high level customer expectations have been analyzed; the production lead time and the effect of this method on the labour has been investigated in a facility which is making customized production. © 2020 Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.
