- The aims of this paper is to demonstrate the effect of warp tension on fabric colour for several types of weaves structures, and found a relationship between them. The image analyse technique used to determine the proportion of yarns colour appearance, the advantage of this techniques is the rapidity and reliability. The woven fabric samples are consisting of a polyester warp yarn with continuous filaments and density of 33 end/cm, a polypropylene weft yarn with a density of 24 pick/cm, and the warp tension ranged between 12-22 cN/tex. The experimental results demonstrated the effect of the warp tension on the colour of fabric, and this effect is related to several factors, where the large proportion of warp appearance leads to larger effect on fabric colour. The difference in the value of colour differences ΔEcmc is larger is in the range 16 to 20 cN/tex of warp tension. Using statistical methods, a mathematical model to calculate the amount of the colour difference ΔEcmc caused by the change in warp tension had been proposed.

- As higher end customers seek something a little different from commodity knitwear, mass customisation is a growing phenomenon. One third of all garments produced in today’s international fashion industry are not sold to the full price, having to be marked down. This is the result of long lead times in the garment industry due to increasing numbers of retailers sourcing products from countries in the Far East where manufacturing costs are lower. Why not do as many other business sectors do, first sell the product to the customer and then start production? This concept is not new and in industries such as the car industry has been a reality for years. Wajima Kohsan Ltd opened in 1995 Factory Boutique Shima in Wakayama, Japan, and this article shows how this shop operates. This is an example of mass customisation in the fashion business of knitted garments.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Over the last 20 years there has been a dramatic technical development of machines and software in the production of knitted fashion garments. This development has made it possible to rationalise design and production of knitted garments so that today it is possible to make a knitted garment, almost ready made, directly in the knitting machine, with a minimum of processes, such as cutting and sewing. The objective of this paper is to explain and give examples of how this new knitting production technology could be implemented in a fast fashion logistic system. The method for this paper is an inductive approach based on a literature survey. The new technical achievements have not meant the great breakthrough that was expected. Why? Many companies moved their production to development countries where the costs ofproduction, mainly labour costs are lower than in western countries. Another reason is that it is not enough to invest in new machinery and then use the machines in the same production system as before. To gain the benefits of this technique the production processes in the company have to be changed and adapted to these new conditions. The lack of knowledge in supply chain design and a one-sided perspective on production costs, instead of a customer orientated one, is one explanation. This, in a business (fashion) where the demand is changing dayby- day and the short time to market is vital to a company’s ability to be competitive. This article describes the integral and complete garment knitting techniques and the advantages that they open up, both from a logistics and a technical point of view. An integral knitted whole garment technology, implemented and adjusted to the production and business system in a company, can reduce lead times dramatically and respond quickly to the rapidly changing fashion market.

- Total Knit fashion is a flat knitting manufacturing company in one of the suburbs the city of Osaka. Managing Director Kushiura tells us that the Osaka area has been one of the main districts for knitted products in Japan and most companies used to mass produce low price garments for retail chains in Osaka, Tokyo and other big cities in Japan. Five years ago Total Knit Company decided to change the production from cut & sew and fully fashion to complete garment production in order to be more efficient and to be able to compete on the market. Now the company has 35 modern Shima Seiki Whole garment machines in house for the production of women wear for the domestic market mainly retail shops in the Tokyo area. The gauge range of the knitting machines are 5 to 15 with 17 of the machines in 12 gauge. This article shows an example of a fashion manufacturing company from Japan with complete garment production.
