Abstract:
The contemporary U.S. textile and apparel industry has faced significant challenges as the volume of imported goods entering the domestic market has continually increased. In attempts to both foster development in select world regions and maintain viability of the domestic industry, the U.S. government has negotiated a variety of trade agreements extending preferential treatment, including duty- and quota-free access to the U.S. market for apparel and other textile products manufactured in developing countries in the Caribbean Basin, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Andean region. In addition, provisions included in the agreement granting China, the world's largest producer of textiles and apparel, admission to the World Trade Organization have allowed this country to become an immediate beneficiary of the MFA quota phase-out. This article examines the current state of the domestic textile and apparel industry and provides an overview of trade agreements enacted during the past decade that are of specific interest within the textile and apparel sector. It offers insight into challenges and opportunities for both the domestic textile and apparel industries in an age of rapid globalization as final elimination of the existing quota system in 2005 approaches.

Abstract:
Many countries in Southeast Asia have used technological spillovers from textile and apparel related Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to industrialise and diversify their economies and integrate their markets to the global economy. In a bid to promote similar industrial activities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) was implemented by the American government in 2000 to give countries in SSA tariff free access to American markets on specific products, including textiles and apparels. While few SSA based countries have utilised this opportunity to attract textile and apparel related FDI, create employment and grow exports to the US, even fewer have benefited from spillovers. This study prescribes policy options for SSA countries to attract textile and apparel related FDI and how technological spillovers can be obtained from such activities. The study revealed that an Export Processing Zone and an East/South Asian connection established before the implementation of the AGOA, low cost of inputs and good industrial relations served as magnets for FDI. The study also revealed that the lack of local ownership of textile and apparel firms and mid-level management skills in the SSA countries, the nature of the locating firms and restriction of global value functions to production by the foreign firms were obstacles to FDI spillovers. The study recommends promoting the establishment of local firms and situating them in proximity to foreign firms, skills upgrading of the local labour force especially in upstream value chain functions, promoting backward and forward linkages with foreign firms and encouraging FDI by large multi-national textile and apparel firms rather than small family-owned businesses.

Abstract:
Abstract Fibre production and textile processing comprise various industries that consume large amounts of energy and resources. Textiles are a largely untapped consumer commodity with a strong reuse and recycling potential, still fibres and fibre containing products ends up in landfill sites or in waste incinerators to a large extent. Reuse and recycle of waste clothing results in reduction in the environmental burden. Between 3% and 4% of the municipal solid waste stream in Slovenia is composed of apparel and textiles. This exploratory study examines consumer practices regarding purchase and the disposal of apparel in Slovenia. Data were collected through structured online survey from a representative random sample of 535 consumers. Responses to online questionnaire indicated the use of a variety of textile purchase and disposal methods. The influence of different sociodemographic variables on apparel purchase, disposal and recycling behaviour was examined. Moreover, the differences in the frequency of apparel recycling between consumers with and without an apparel bank available nearby were explored. This research was conducted, since it is crucial to analyse the means by which consumers are currently disposing their textile waste in order to plan the strategies that would encourage them to further reduce the amount of apparel sent to landfills.

Abstract:
Inspired by the United Nation’s Sustainability Development goals for responsible consumption and production, this final year two-student team thesis was conducted across six convenience sampled textiles and apparels companies in Karachi, Pakistan, as exploratory research. Interviews of purposively sampled personnel from these companies were assessed on their awareness on sustainability and the initiatives taken to develop infrastructures in alignment with green value chain standards and sustainable product. The instrument used is an unstructured questionnaire developed by the student researchers from adopted aspects of the Global Reporting Initiative standards. The use of thematic analysis and Greening Goliaths vs Emerging Davids Sustainability Matrix was further essential in this study’s potential in proposing green marketing strategy (GMS) to the Ministry of Textile Industry, and the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association. The study brought to light the detriments to market penetration of sustainable textiles and apparels in Pakistan, namely the economy, and consumer behavior. Conclusively, the student researchers found that the textiles industry in Pakistan was well developed along global sustainable goals but demand for sustainable apparel stemmed from developed nations owing to their consumer’s awareness on the implications of inorganic derived apparels on the environment.

Abstract:
Purpose Ethiopia’s economy is primarily based on agriculture, but starting form 2010, the government has been determined to diversify the exports with a priority set for strategic sectors like light manufacturing in which textile and apparel manufacturing industries are included. The purpose of this paper is to measure the comparative advantages of the Ethiopian textile and apparel industry using the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) in the period from 2007 to 2016. Design/methodology/approach For the purpose of the paper, secondary data were collected from the UN comtrade site, and related data sources were cited in the literature review for the purpose of triangulation (cross-checking of the analysis with theoretical background). From the theoretical background, the two indices of RCA (Balassa index and Lafay index) were used for the evaluation of the industries’ competitive advantage and to identify which industry (textiles or apparel) was of more importance in the country. Findings The findings of the study showed that Ethiopia was more competitive in the textile sector. However, and with reference to the Lafay index, the country has been focusing on apparel sector, because of the opportunities for job creation. Research limitations/implications For the purpose of this study, secondary data were used and the general conclusions are limited to the corresponding sources of data. Practical implications Because of the labor-intensive nature, the textile and apparel sector has been one of the areas promoted by the Ethiopian Government in its industrialization policy. The finding of this paper can be used by policy makers to evaluate the competitiveness of the country. Social implications The findings can be used to assess social upgrading issues in the textile and apparel sector. Originality/value The work is the first of its kind in the sector as well as the country.

Abstract:
In the last five years, textiles and apparel have represented the largest source of growth of U.S. imports from countries covered by the Caribbean Basin Initiative. The economic importance of this sector to the Caribbean countries gave rise to this study which discusses the international regulation of textile and apparel trade and the possible effects of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations and the North American Free Trade Agreement on the Caribbean textile and apparel industry. This analysis takes into account not only the legal mechanisms developed to control trade in this sector, but also the underlining powers that have allowed the shaping of the current textile and apparel order. Special emphasis is placed on U.S. trade policies toward the Caribbean Region which have played a significant role in the present development of the Caribbean apparel industry.

Abstract:
This study was framed by the question, How is creativity integrated into the design process of apparel textile designers? A qualitative approach was used to explore the integration of creativity in the design process of two designers in the field of clothing and textiles. The personal experiences of a weaver and a costume designer were shared with the researcher through interviews, participant observation, logs, and document/visuals. Data were analyzed by a method of coding and categorizing. Comparative analysis was conducted on the studies of the weaver and the costume designer. A comparative analysis was done among the findings of the two apparel textile designers and from the review of the literature. First, steps of the design process as related to creativity were explored. The design process model stated by Koberg and Bagnall (1981) was used to analyze and discuss the findings. It was found that the apparel textile designers' process included the steps of acceptance, analysis, definition, ideation, idea selection, implementation, and evaluation. Many themes emerged from the data for each of the steps of design. Amabile's (1996) three components of creative performance (domain-revelant skills, creative-revelant skills, and task motivation) were used to examine and discuss the creativity of the weaver and the costume designer. It was found that the design process acted as a framework, and creativity allowed for the generation of new ideas and outcomes in the designer's work. The study of apparel textile designers, their individual design processes, and creativity serves to expand the body of knowledge of the design process and creativity related directly to the textile arts and to aid in the development of methods in design education.<br>Master of Science

Full text
Abstract:
The axilla is a major source of human body odour from which the characteristic musky, urinous or acidic odours emanate, and are predominantly due to bacterial metabolism of the protein-rich fluid secreted by the apocrine and sebaceous glands located in this area (Senol and Fireman, 1999). Clothing has been implicated in contributing to body odour intensity, possibly even increasing the intensity (Dravnieks, et al., 1968; Shelley, et al., 1953) by the transfer of secretions, skin debris and bacteria from the body to the fabric substrate. Despite much anecdotal evidence indicating that some fibres and fabrics are better at limiting odour intensity than others, there appears to be no published research confirming this. The purpose of this study therefore, was to determine whether fabrics varying in fibre content (cotton, wool, polyester) and fabric knit structure (interlock, single jersey, 1x1 rib) differed in the extent to which they retained and emanated axillary odour following wear, and whether the intensity of odour was linked to the number of bacteria transferred to the fabrics. A procedure for collecting odour on fabrics was developed as was a method for evaluating odour through use of a sensory panel. Total aerobic bacteria and aerobic coryneform bacteria extracted from the fabrics were counted to determine if an association between bacterial counts and fabrics existed. Sensory analysis recognises the unique capability of humans as odour-detecting instruments whereas, instrumental analysis has the potential to offer information on the concentration and identification of axillary compounds, which a human assessor cannot. To investigate a new method for detecting axillary odour on apparel fabrics, proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) was used to analyse volatiles emitted from fabrics differing in fibre type. After removal of garments from the human body, axillary odour can be detected on fabrics, with the intensity of odour being strongly influenced by the fibre type from which the fabrics had been made. Polyester fabrics emanated odour of high intensity, cotton that of mid-low odour intensity, and wool fabrics were low odour. Fabric structural properties such as thickness, mass per unit area and openness of knit structure also had an effect on odour intensity. However, as the principal factor influencing odour intensity was fibre, only fabrics characterised by a high intensity (i.e. polyester) were influenced by structural properties. Differences in odour intensity among fabrics were not necessarily related to bacterial numbers, and no �inherent antimicrobial� properties were evident for any of the fabrics. Bacterial populations persisted in all fabrics up to 28 days. A decline in numbers was apparent for high-odour polyester fabrics, while numbers in low-odour wool fabrics remained relatively stable. PTR-MS detected compounds likely to be short-chain carboxylic acids which increased in the headspace above the polyester fabrics after 7 days. However, this increase was not evident for either the wool or cotton fabrics. Therefore, bacterial numbers per se cannot be a predictor of the odour intensity emanating from fabrics at least on the basis of these fabrics and fibres. The intensity of axillary odour emanating from fabrics was found inversely related to fibre hygroscopicity.

Abstract:
<p>The apparel design process involves gathering and analyzing information on fashion trends, markets, past line sales and editing ideas for successful combinations of fabric, style and price. These ideas are the result of creativity. Creativity is most often modeled as a problem solving process involving complex chaotic systems. In the fields of architecture and software design, pattern languages have been developed to help understand the various fundamental components and dynamics of complex systems by using a series of related generic problem-solving patterns empirically proven to be successful in a specified context of forces. Patterns record existing knowledge to make it rapidly and easily accessible and communicated between different users. The research objective of this dissertation was to develop a pattern language describing the initial creative phase of the apparel design process. First, an archetype of the initial creative process in apparel design was constructed based on the literature reviewed to integrate the intervening marketing and design components, and suggest a set of links between these components and the various stages of the process. Second, patterns describing these links and the archetype were developed to form a pattern language representing the dynamics of the archetypal model, i.e. the articulation and interdependencies of all its components and stages. Design professionals reviewed the pattern language. Students used it to develop product concepts and storyboards, which were evaluated by a panel of judges. Feedback from these participants indicates the pattern language offers a "design manual" that can be used by all team members to improve design efficiency and effectiveness, i.e. higher success rates of new products in a timely manner. Combining information technology and the pattern language could make an even greater contribution to apparel design, both at an operational level and a strategic planning level. This research provides a working example of a pattern language and shows the benefits to be attained. Also, the dissertation includes a guide on constructing pattern languages in the hope of reaching the ultimate goal of encouraging industry and academic apparel design experts to contribute to the necessary ongoing developments of the pattern language. <P>

Abstract:
Indonesian textile and apparel supply networks are customer-driven. The majority of customers reside in developed nations and have sustainability embedded within their organisational goals. In contrast, the suppliers reside in developing nations such as Indonesia. Typically, each customer organization has its own code of conduct for suppliers that includes sustainability requirements. The codes of conduct are used by customers when selecting suppliers and in monitoring the delivery of contracts. As a result, small and medium-sized enterprises in Indonesia need to improve their ability to deliver sustainability goals in customers’ codes of conduct while also maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. The aim of this research was to improve understanding of sustainable supply network operations in the Indonesian textile and apparel industry with a view to identifying ways in which small to medium-sized enterprises in low-middle income economies such as Indonesia might comply with emerging sustainability indicators. Data gathered from multi-national and small to medium-sized enterprises provided insights on current implementations of environmental and social sustainability practices in the Indonesian textile and apparel industry. This led to the design of a questionnaire that was used to elicit stakeholder perceptions of how sustainability requirements are addressed. This was supplemented with data collected through field site observations and semi-structured face-to-face interviews that captured real-life experiences of the phenomenon of sustainability. In parallel, data was gathered from industry stakeholders (including customers, regulators, and non-governmental organizations) on drivers for and challenges of adopting sustainability practices in accordance with customers’ codes of conduct. From the fieldwork, sustainability practices, while desirable, are perceived as having a detrimental impact on performance indicators such as time and cost. Supply network maps were used to visualise the flow of materials and information through case study networks. A key characteristic identified from the maps was the industrial cluster whose agents act as interfaces between Indonesian suppliers and their ultimate customers. Early results from a social network analysis indicate that these agents are dominant actors and agents of change in critical to the adoption of sustainability practices by Indonesian suppliers.

Abstract:
The knowledge transfer activities in Turkish Textile and Apparel Industries have been explored in this study. The knowledge transfer is undisputedly important subjects as knowledge provides competitive advantage to firms. Only few percentages of the Turkish textile and apparel industries are engaged in knowledge transfer activity although it is recorded as the largest industry in Turkish economy. Turkish textile and apparel industries are mostly run by family and most of them are either unaware or reluctant to involve in the knowledge transfer activities. This study examines the knowledge transfer activities in Turkish SMEs through qualitative research and quantitative analysis by undertaking extensive li terature reviews and present situationin Turkey and proposes hypotheses to test the knowledge transfer activities in Turkish SMEs.T he proposed hypotheses consider various related factors (determinants) such as knowledge sharing, organisational culture, communication channel, knowledge acquisition and IT resource to analyse the overall scenario of knowledge transfer behaviour in Turkish textile and apparel industries. The analysis results indicate that in case of Turkish textile and apparel industries, the pattern of knowledge transfer activities are different from the available literature and mostly affected by local environments. This report points out severalt hought provoking findings and concludes with recommendation for researchers and practitioners. The work presented in this thesis suggests a novel way forward in the development of knowledge transfer activities in Turkish textile and apparel industries and, therefore it is considered that the work constitutes a valuable contribution to knowledge in this area of study. Also, there are a number of ways in which the work presented in this thesis can be extended to many other challenging domains.

Abstract:
The activities of the Indian clothing industry supplying Western markets have been investigated, with particular reference to identifying where improvements could be made to supply chain management. Focus group discussions, case studies and questionnaire analysis established that long lead-times in pre-production areas were of great concern. However Indian apparel manufacturers were found to be more cost conscious and rather less conscious about the value of time in pre-production areas. It was found that pre-production activities constituted 73% of total manufacturing lead time and have high positive correlation (0.96) with total manufacturing lead time. Preproduction activities in India mainly consist of prototype making and pre-production sample development; of which approval processes were found to have a high correlation (0.63) with pre-production. A significant (more than 50%) time of all activities consist of waiting time, which has positive influence on total lead time (0.86). Improvements to sample approval processes such as streamlining iterations and bottlenecks could eliminate some non-value added activities and reduce total manufacturing lead times by as much as 12 per cent. The average loss of time due to intermittent work interruptions in skill-based activities such as grading ranged from 15% to 24%; this could be saved by prioritising workload distribution to resources. Implementation of critical chain methodology compressed the pre-production time by 40%, resulting overall improvement of lead time by 29%. A skewed distribution of workload on resources in the pre-production chain tended to result in unbalanced planning and inefficiencies. A multi-project Gantt chart when implemented through software could help rationalise the distribution of resources, levelling the workload with better prioritising of activities, thus leading to better management of bottleneck resources.

Abstract:
Skilled workers in the apparel industry possess the knowledge and expertise required to produce high-quality garments. Their proficiency ensures that products meet or exceed industry standards, resulting in customer satisfaction and repeat business. Skilled workers also tend to be more efficient and productive, reducing waste and increasing overall production output. Nowadays, the apparel industry faces problems like unskilled labour and a lack of seriousness from top management regarding the training of workers. Many factors impact the effectiveness of training centres. The apparel industry has no designed parameters to gauge the training centre's efficiency. This study investigated the presence and effectiveness of training centres in the apparel industry using data collected through a Google Form survey and analysed using SPSS and AMOS software. Results show that enhancements are needed in management behaviour, trainee and trainer's role, infrastructure, tools and equipment to ensure that training programs meet industry requirements and produce competent professionals. By implementing the recommendations highlighted in this research, training centres can enhance their effectiveness and contribute to developing a skilled and competitive workforce in the apparel industry.

Abstract:
Abstract Increasing the recovery of textiles from municipal solid waste (MSW) is important for improving environmental sustainability. In 2015, over 10.5 million tons of textile waste was landfilled, which is 7.6% of total landfilled MSW according to the U.S. EPA. For all materials, recycling in the U.S. has increased over the past decade to 25.8% of the weight of the waste generated, textile recycling is below this level at 15.3%. This research quantifies the availability of used textiles by material type from Goodwill of Delaware (Goodwill-DE), a thrift store franchise, between 2012 and 2014. It examines the feasibility of recycling this amount of available discarded textiles, specifically cotton, into U.S. industrial subsectors that traditionally use new cotton textiles. A hybrid product model was created using EIO-LCA to compare economic and environmental impacts in the cut and sew apparel, airplane and automotive seating, upholstered furniture, and textile bag manufacturing industrial subsectors. Economic impacts on supply purchases and profits were considered. Environmental impacts in energy use and CO2 equivalent emissions were examined. As a result, utilizing all of Goodwill-DE’s annual discarded cotton textiles by the cut and sew apparel industrial subsectors would have positive impacts in terms of supply purchase and energy savings and reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions, but negative impacts on profits. Supply purchase savings are greater than the profit loss, resulting in a net economic gain for the cut and sew apparel industrial subsectors. Of the seven industrial subsectors considered, the U.S. cut and sew apparel industries would benefit the most from utilizing used cotton textiles.
