“…Intelligent design for customized products is a trend (Zhang et al, 2017). In addition to the technological innovation, the product development process should include style references (colors, pattern), comfort (sizes, formats, materials) and individual's context (culture, social habits, preferences).…”

The present research aims to present the technological evolution of sportwear production by comparing conventional and new production systems. For this, the following production systems were defined: conventional knitting (T-shirt and shoe upper), seamless knitting (T-shirt) and seamless 3D knitting (shoe upper). The definition of these objects of study was based on research that points to walking as the most practiced physical activity by Brazilians. The methodological procedure adopted in the present research is predominantly exploratory. Sportwear can be produced by the conventional process or new production processes. In the conventional production process, there are many steps for fabric manufacturing and confection. In turn, seamless technology reduces working time by creating ready-to-wear articles that require little or no sew, since the product is developed in a single process. In this way, seamless technology impacts on working time by reducing or eliminating the cut and sew operations and the amount of waste discarded. All innovations presented in this research indicate efficient production related to cost, working time, waste management and interaction with the consumer. By adopting these technologies, the textile industry begins to move towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

“…Decisions on the home health care plans made for patients can be seen as analogous to the elicitation of and response to "customer requirements". A potentially relevant stream of research is that dealing with intelligent design for customised products, defined by Zhang et al (2017) as products "designed to satisfy the customer's individual and diversified requirements as quickly and at as low a cost as possible". They cite Quality Function Deployment (Akao, 2004) as one approach to map product features to customer requirements that has been used in service design (see for instance Yan et al, 2016).…”

The efficient deployment of resources in home-based care is considered crucial for the sustainability of health and social care systems worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify and review operational research approaches to support decision-making in home health care. We identified a set of linked decisions at different planning levels (strategic, tactical, operational) and conducted a systematic review of operational research approaches used to address these decisions. We also sampled OR literature applied to analogous decisions in other settings. The 77 papers selected focused predominantly on solutions for staff-to-patient allocation, visit scheduling and staff routing, few of which were adopted by organisations. Few studies dealt with tactical decisions of team size and composition or strategic decisions of districting, and we found no studies on contract design for commissioning home health care, on staff role definitions or on reassessment of patient need. Integrative work is scarce and the aspects of system performance considered are variable and diverse. For these reasons the literature does not provide guidance for home health care services aspiring to effective and coherent decisions across planning levels. OR approaches from other areas of application provide some insights for future research aimed at addressing this shortfall.

“…These technologies impact at different levels and strongly affect the product customization. In particular, they contribute in fostering the transition from the traditional mass production to the mass customization, where products are co-designed by producers and customers, and processes have to allow the production of single pieces in a reduced time to market (Helms et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2017). Focusing on the industrial sector object of the present study, i.e.…”

Product customization aims to consider individual customers preferences in the design of new products, in order to directly involve them in the product development process and to maximize their satisfaction. It can be considered a key competitive factor and a “hot topic” in several industrial sectors, including luxury apparel goods and high-end footwear products. However, currently the design and manufacturing of customized shoes are carried out through artisanal and non-standardized processes, based on the individual expertise of operators.The objective of this study is to define an innovative framework to support the different processes affected by customization. This framework is enabled by different digital technologies, as CAD-based tools, virtual/augmented reality systems, etc., opportunely integrated in the product development process. The main benefits related to the framework implementation in real industrial contexts are an increase of flexibility, the repeatability of processes, a higher efficiency in information exchange, a more effective involvement of final customers, and, as a consequence, the reduction of time to market and production costs for tailor-made shoes.
