“…The main purpose of using CAD systems for the marker-making process is to minimize the amount of wasted fabric in order to lower the cost. As put forth by the study by Naveed et al (2017), cloth cost constitutes about 50-60% of total raw-material costs in clothing production (9). Therefore, marker making is important for both ensuring production quality and lowering cost per unit.…”

In the apparel industry, computer aided design (CAD) systems are most commonly used for basic pattern making, grading and marker making processes. Even though there are various software in this area in the market, pattern making process is still performed manually in several apparel businesses. In this research, the amount of time required for the processes of garment technical pattern making, modelling, grading and marker making via CAD systems was compared to time required for the manual method, with the aim of determining the more efficient approach. To this end, time measurements for the steps of these processes, specified by 3 expert pattern designers and 3 CAD operators, were taken and compared. The comparison was focused on the aspects of processes that made a difference in terms of time, the effect of these processes on total time and the identification of the factors that resulted in the time difference. Upper-body garments was chosen as the focus of this study due to the involvement of several steps in the processes of basic pattern making and grading. The acquired data shows that the process times required for CAD systems was shorter than that for manual design in every step that have an important role in the pre-production preparation process.

“…Higher the marker effi ciency, lower the marker loss and vice versa [14]. There have been several studies [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] accomplished with the aim of improving fabric consumptions. However, with the different effect of fabric widths and human body shapes, there is a lack of research analysis on marker losses and wastages through marker cutting plans.…”

In the apparel manufacturing, the fabric is the single largest element in the cost of the garment. Therefore, effectual fabric consumption causes a reduction in cost and exertions. The purpose of this research is to study the effects of fabric width on the efficiency of marker (cutting) plans. Fabric consumption is in four types for human body shapes, that is, triangle, oval, square, and circle, in both genders to control the fabric utilization. Two clothing styles, fitted trousers and fitted shirts, are manufactured in an apparel manufacturing industry. The marker plans produced through Garment Gerber Technology software are accomplished in 36 different fabric widths (independent variables). The evaluation of dependent variables, that is, marker efficiency, marker loss, and fabric consumption efficiency relevant to four body shapes in variable fabric widths is analyzed for both women and men. The statistical analysis indicates that there is a linear relationship between marker efficiency and fabric width (sig <0.05). The regression analysis (p-value) between dependent variables and predictor variables (body types and fabric width) is also statistically significant. Also, the result implies that markers are more productive with larger fabric widths in all styles in both genders.

“…23,24 The cutting-related costs make up a considerable part of the garment manufacturing cost, as the fabric cost is a major contributor to the total garment cost. 3,25 Thus, the cutting-related processes (the sizing process and the cutting process) bear the brunt of the higher cost caused by mass customization in the whole manufacturing process. However, the cutting-related processes have not received enough attention when considering garment mass customization methods.…”

In the garment industry, upgrading from mass production to mass customization is imperative, due to ever-changing fashion trends and customers’ increasing personal demands. Based on pattern variations, several practical mass customization methods in terms of custom-fit and co-design are developed in this study for cutting-related processes (i.e. the sizing process and the cutting process). The increment of size number by generating additional sizes and the expansion of size capacity by setting multi-sized darts are two custom-fit methods, while material (fabric) variation by spreading “rainbow plies” and module variation by making a stepwise cutting are two co-design methods. Compared with existing mass customization methods mainly related to the garment design processes, the proposed methods emphasize the garment manufacturing processes in order to resolve the conflict between personalization and cost. A case study on the women’s basic straight skirt is conducted for the performance evaluation (about personalization and cost) of the proposed methods. The experimental results demonstrate the ability of these methods to significantly raise the personalization level with an acceptable price in garment customization. This study provides a reference for garment manufacturers to make proper production strategies, enabling garment mass customization.
