Effect of polyester fibre shrinkage on construction characteristics of polyester/wool woven fabrics
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Monteiro, Nuno; Miguel, Rui; Manich, Albert; Silva, Manuel Santos
This work aimed to study the effect of polyester fibres with different shrinkage on the structural characteristics (warp densities, weft densities and weight per square meter) of the various blend wool and polyester fabrics, after a normal clean finish. The main conclusions to be highlighted are: polyester fibres with 11% shrinkage give rise to higher weft densities and consequently fabrics with a higher weight per square meter compared to fabrics produced with polyester fibres with 4% shrinkage. In this context, and if for technical and/or commercial reasons, there is a need to change the type of polyester fibre, it is not enough to consider only the length, diameter, crimp and tenacity of the fibre, but also its shrinkage.
Linking co-creation to modularity to respond to consumers expectations and improve production efficiency
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Martins, Paulo; Miguel, Rui; Pina, Liliana; Pereira, Madalena
This paper aims to understand what the consumers intend to co-create, secondly if modular co-created products can respond to consumers’ expectations and thirdly, if the process and production efficiency could be improved, even for small orders, when based on modular products. This data will serve as a basis for understanding what methods or processes can be applied and benefit consumers, brands and the supply chain. A single closed question was made to the consumers. In addition, one open question was made to the fashion designers and another to the supply chain experts. These were created based on a literature review, study question, and propositions. The findings show that the consumers prefer to co-create full fashion products. Fashion designers and supply chain experts were unanimous about the improvement of the process and production efficiency due to modular products, even when producing small orders. Although, when responding to the consumers’ expectations, some concerns were raised by the fashion designers. This paper will enable, in the future, the development of a consumer, brand and supply chain cocreation streamlined framework.
Organizations, creativity and job satisfaction – symbiosis in a portuguese case study
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Barata, João; Miguel, Rui
The number of publications about creativity and innovation is growing once it may help organizations to grow and be more competitive. In theory the organization is interconnected with the levels of selfperceived creativity of its employees as well as the satisfaction for creative tasks. This research aims to study and analyse the perceptions from Portuguese textile and apparel designers. The objectives of this study where to (i) analyse and summarise the relevant about organizational connections with employees and their creativity and (ii) to confirm the statistical relation between the variables, as predicted in the analysed literature in order to contribute to the growth of industrial knowledge regarding organizational creativity in Portugal. The developed survey reached 114 replies (n=114) and data was analysed in order to meet the goals mentioned above. A symbiosis correlation between Organization Climate and Culture, Designers’ Self-Perceived Creativity and Job Satisfaction was confirmed with statistical significance.
