Abstract:

Modern design in conditions of JIT, QRS and LEAN concepts requires an optimal time when designing andredesigning the clothes. On example of sports pantsoptimization is made for time spent on designing, pattern makingand virtual sewing,Theparameters of the textile surfaces which are simulated on sports pants modules provide in ashort time interval unlimited number of variations. Change of fashion trends require flexibility of design work flow, andits optimization in each segment allows for a multiple increase in productivity, as well as the possibility of entering thecontemporary fashion market.

Keywords:design, pattern making, 3D, optimization

INTRODUCTION

Apparel technology has experienced radical

changes caused by technological development,

automation of production processes, computer

applications and the occurrence of competitive

international garment producers (China, India ...).

In the production of textiles, which are

inevitably moved to the east of the country,

clothing industry still exists as a specific,

dominant and leading European fashion

industry (Paris, Milan, Rome ...). In the EU

there is a clear commitment to achieve

primacy not released, and a prerequisite for thefull satisfaction of all customers from the

standpoint of quality clothing products with an

increasing emphasis on design as an important

component of quality.

In the modern fashion industry's most

successful manufacturers are those that have

organized professional teams for the design

and marketing, as dictated by the cycle of

current fashion and easily introduce new

fashion designs, thus surprising the

competition.Design is an interdisciplinary integration of

art and technology to create products,

communication and environment in order to

meet human needs [1]. The influence of

fashion dictated by fashion designerseverywhere in the world is very important for

the design of apparel products. Process design

would not be necessary that there is no need

for the product and its sale. Without the

successful design, as important components of

quality garment products, he would not have

found its place in the market.

The research process of creating new

designs and quality clothing products includes

determining the actual needs of customers.

The process of creative designers improve the

concept of research interest includes design,

customers and profits and Contemporary

design tends line geometric form and

aerodynamic surfaces loaded requirements and

mass production. This is not the case with the

fashion industry dictates that a large number of

different styles and models with unlimited

structural parameters of the textile surface are

made of wear. On one side are producers who

want to achieve greater productivity andstandardization of products, and to

simultaneously meet the needs of consumers in

terms of quality and diversity of products, and

the other side of the designers that their

designs and creativity to adapt and substitute

in the overall product quality. Designers

flows through activities gradually came to the

idea of the product and creating products and

thus they and their ideas materialize. Designcomponents are part of the overall product

quality, and it is crucial features of creativity

and overall design activity.

Design components that participate in the

research and creation of products can be

grouped and divided into:

Research - design,

Technical - functional,

Aesthetic,

Economic and Ergonomic.

Design, as a thought process involves the

creation of products and begins with the idea,

intuition and reason. The reality is complex

and elaborate structure activities, which

include:

Identification of needs,

The initial concept of how to meet those

needs,

Development of initial concept,

Analysis to determine whether the concept

and the extent to which meets requirements,

Preliminary prototype form,

Construction of forms,

Implementation of various quality control

procedures,

Sale of its value to the consumer,

Provision of feedback from users.

Market research should obtain the right

information on customer satisfaction and their

reactions to the proposed garments, in order to

obtain a basis for business in the future, define

the objectives and strategy of a company.

Phenomena and laws of modern production

line - the market must be kept under control.

The result should produce only those

products that the customer wants to buy and

pay. In the apparel you need to satisfy the

individual tastes of buyers, design and fashiontrends, ensuring individuality, resolve

questions durability, endurance and comfort,

because the quality garment creating objects

based on the successful fashion brand and

reputation in the market. Permanent changes to

the modules include creativity creative design

team.

Responsiveness to the frequent changes infashion trends (4 seasons) have led to changes

in marketing philosophy with the

manufacturers of fashion apparel. Different

methods of marketing research services to the

needs and desires of consumers, and creating

new products with designer names and certain

establishment fashion brand have become

imperative for manufacturers of clothing.

GARMENT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTFROM THE ASPECT OF INDUSTRIAL

DESIGN

Good clothing products from the aspect of

production and consumption based on the

creative discipline - design.

The role of design as a creative discipline

and as a component of quality product is

contained in the fact that most products can

not be created without his action.

The paper based on the given basic tailored

women's pants in one day made virtual

prototypes of new models 8 jeans. We used a

3D software program Potties Company.

Creating ideas

Ideas arise in two ways:

(1) Due to information coming market

research, customer needs, or

(2) A consequence of new technologies.

Ideas arise as the market s response to

customer needs clothing products.

Identification of market needs can then lead tothe development of new technologies and new

products to meet customer needs. Ideas can be

conditioned by existing or new technology.

Various textile materials (water-repellent,

made with the help of nanotechnology, with

embedded chips, etc...) or a material that wants

a buyer or customer model is a source of ideas

for the development of new apparel products.

In this way, eliminate stocks of products.

Product Selection

All ideas are not accepted as new products.

They must meet several tests, namely:

Market potential;

Financial feasibility and

Product compatibility.

Analysis of choice of products can

sometimes be subjective in nature and basedon limited number information. Therefore, this

collection is shown in Figure 1 and 2 allow a

potential buyer of pre-defined desired product.

Previous product design

Previous product design actually means

developing the best design based on the bestnew product idea solution. If the preliminary

design of the new product is approved, access

to prototyping or prototypes for the following

analysis. Often a conflict of interest occurs

when shaping the product arising from the

requirements of quality, costs and deadlines,

and products that should be on the market to

be competitive. In this case, eliminating the

time prototyping virtual sewing Figure 3.

Prototyping

He most commonly made several forms in

classical prototypes production in the period

from 7 to 14 days.

In contemporary design work flowthisprocedure with trained engineers lasts shorter,

because the "needle" of the whole collection of

CAD system can do for 1 working day.

Testing

Market research usually lasts from 6

months to two years, and often geographically

limited (especially related to the

anthropological characteristics of the target

group). The purpose of market research new product is to collect quantitative and

qualitative data on how consumers accept it.

The qualitative indicators are: particular

aesthetic, functional and ergonomic features.

The period of testing before the launch of the

collection is possible through the virtual

catalogue.

The final product design

The product to be quickly introduced to themarket need to design new products and

design processes takes place simultaneously.

INTRODUCING NEW PRODUCTS

TO MARKET

Decisions about the management of new

products are strategic, long-term investment

and character. The success of the introduction

of new products depends on several factors:the idea of innovation, exorbitance market

competition activities. Stages of development

and introduction of new products are:

-collection and selection of ideas,

-evaluation of the concept of products,

-feasibility studies-business analysis,

-development of prototype products, test-

market mass-production

- preparing bids,

- launch and commercialization.

Stages of development of new products are

mutually dependent in the sense that, if future

new product does not meet the criteria for

justification of development at any stage, the

next phase of not going. Wind acceptance of

new products depends on:

-type products, the degree of visibility of

innovation, and the time of acceptance of

innovation.

It is significant to attract as many earlyacceptors, especially those who are influential

and who follow fashion innovation.

According to "Vision and Influence"-the

study of corporate design group of IDC's

Industrial Design Society of America, came to

the following results in which the design:

- Product cost increases by 24%,

- Increase product sales by 47%,

- Increase the selling price by 32%.

The development of the domestic textile

industry influence fashion and modern design

apparel products, with a number of difficulties

such as small production series, numerous

trends with a variety of colour patterns, non-

standard size, too short delivery terms,

fragmented work orders, high quality, little

preparation time, or low price apparel

products.

In garment industry especially in the

fashion product, theoretically you could if

your product is different from the others, so he

just brings additional value to the selected

market segment. Although company is trying

to find what the customer wants, we often

refer to customers as a homogeneous and

essentially passive crowd. Products are not the

buyers, the main star (marketing) program, and

success is measured by sales volume or market

share.Marketing of our most productive

organizations, and international organizations

that placed the technological and ecological

outdated products (the stores are placed

tailored clothing products obsolete, with poor

quality way of making) that should not and can

not pay, ranging from production.

Everything is directed to fulfilling the

business plan - Volume of sales and planned

participation in a particular market. Over time,

develop mutual dependence: the customer becomes dependent on the retailer, which

gives information about the product, parts and

service, it allows selection of available

products, and provides satisfactory products in

the future, the seller depends on the customer

to buy just its products. Continuous mutual

relationship brings mutual benefit, particularly

vendor: cost is the cost-effective to keep

existing customers, rather than seek new ones.

The Japanese are such a complete quality

strategy following concept is actuallyimplemented TQM on marketing - permanent,

time-unlimited quality improvement:

1. No time limit for the return link with

customers,

2. No time limit to improve the products,

3. No time limit for purchase (JIT),

4. No time limit for the preparation of

production,

5. No errors - zero defects.Consumer needs are the focal point in

business. Marketing tends to be a product

available in the right place at the right time

and at a price affordable for the customer.

While the sale of concentrate to the needs of

vendors, marketing deals with the needs of the

customer, the seller needs to your product into

money, marketing thinking to meet the needs

and desires of customers through the products.

PPS must accurately define customer needs

from the perspective of the customer, not from

his standpoint.

The key to maintaining customer

satisfaction with its product or service, as

satisfied customers:

1. Re-buys,

2. Commendable tells others about the

product and organization,

3. Speaks less attention to competing

brands and their EPP,

4. Purchase other products from the sameorganization.

There are great problems in our textile

industry in connection with the market survey,

keeping up with competitors, investments in

its own development, creating original designs

and scientific approach to the introduction of

new products to the market. Therefore the first

step is the survey of consumers, learning the

facts about the sale and the estimate of fashion

trends. It is also necessary to establish size and

consumers' purchasing power, how suitable the

garments are for our market, to eliminate

weaknesses in sale channels, distribution and

promotional activities. [2]

The coordination of fashion designers'

solution of ideas, possibilities to prepare

construction, objective analysis of technical-

technological possibilities of firms and

management teams gives a chance to get to the

strategy that will bring expecting placement

and sale of goods on a fashion market for along time in merciless competition that exist in

fashion industry.

CONCLUSION

Based on the results and conclusions of

individual can be stated justification of

investment in new software packages that

allow:

Humane, easier and faster operation.

Reduce employee fatigue.Increase production of quality garments.

Reduce delays, errors and failures.

Shortening the time of making clothes.Reduced cost per unit of product

In addition to automation of production

processes and reduce costs in the market

perceived the advantages of CAD and other

technologies:

- Improved flexibility accelerates the

construction preparation and implementation

of modular production system.- Reduces the time development of

technical documentation.

- Eliminate the need for creating multiple

models. The process of preparation chronic

components accelerates accuracy increases of

work.

- Reduces the repair and finishing during

the manufacturing process. Standardize

products and permanently stored.

- Increased sales due to shortening delivery

time.- The labour force is reduced up to 40%.

- Image of the company is increasing due to

use of CAD technology.

- O ptimization of design work flow is thepossibility for success.

- Application of CAD-systems is also

contributing to the development of intelligent

manufacturing process of clothing.
