Senior Project: Analysis and Improvement of Existing Apparel Technology
Abstract
The overall objective of this project was to look at how effectively technology is being introduced into apparel manufacturing, to see if we are achieving our goals of lowered costs, deskilling operations, and increasing the quality of the finished product. Three technologies were investigated to determine why they were not meeting expectations: AMF Autojig; Union Special Left Fly Topstitcher (J-Stitch); and American Laundry Cabinet Shirt Press. Results indicate various but predictable reasons for lack of successful transfer of technology; right system, wrong application; right system and application, but improper/incomplete operator training; and equipment inadequately designed for application.
