The Importance of Quality and Product Design in the New Textile Production Markets by Giiberto Santos in Textile Science Engineering Journal

The textile industry has a long tradition in Portugal and is one of its most important sectors. The relocation of production to emerging countries - India, Pakistan and China where manufacturing costs are significantly lower (e.g. labour costs, taxes and transport costs) and governments grant subsidies brings unemployment to countries that previously produced for major international brands. If, on the one hand, in Portugal there are companies where it is possible to make textile production, on the other hand, Portugal has a lack of design of products and own brands. When large brands relocate production, unemployment increases in countries where large brands previously made their production. But there is another big problem. In emerging countries the product quality is low and many times, they do not respect intellectual property.

The objective of this work was to determine the importance of quality in the portuguese textile firms, as well as, the problem that exists regarding the lack of design of own products. Data from 60 textile firms were examined. One the main reason for clients to seek other markets is price. Other important conclusion is that the majority of the firms stated that the implementation of quality programs led to higher profits and an improvement in the quality of their output. Overall, the implantation of a quality program has improved their competitive position and their overall performance.

The Effect of Twist Multiplier, Elastane Percentage and Pick Density on Denim Quality by A K Choudhary in Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology For an end consumer of denim garments, the most important factors are performance and comfort after few aesthetic factors such as appearance and fashion appeal. For stretchable denim fabric, the fit related comfort lies in ability of the fabric to be stretched and recover when a repeated load is applied due to body movements without any permanent set called bagging. In this study, the interactive effect of twist multiplier of weft yarn, denier elastane fibre and fabric areal density on performance of denim fabric was investigated. The denier of elastane fibre used with weft yarn of three different twist multiplier- 4.9, 5.2 and 5.5, is changed as 40D, 55D and 70D. The areal density of fabric is changed through change in picks per inch as 50, 55 and 60. Performance was analysed on the basis of results of breaking streng...
