Organic cotton, lyocell and SPF: a comparative study

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study on the characteristics of knitted fabrics used in the manufacturing of apparel, which are produced from organic cotton, lyocell and soybean protein fiber (SPF). It is important for both the environment and society that textile industry continues to adopt more ecofriendly materials and furthermore, pushes to increase awareness regarding these material choices available to the consumer and the corresponding impacts of consumers’ decisions. The use of sustainable fibers may be a starting point for changing the industrial paradigm of the textile industry. Design/methodology/approach – The research presented herein analyzes the potential use of three raw materials used in the development of knitted fabrics: organic cotton, lyocell and SPF. The experimental trials, based on norms, determined the weight, pilling, rupture pressure resistance, absorption by capillarity, dimensional alteration and elasticity. The significance of the experimental ...

Adquirindo Métricas e Indicadores de performance a partir de Postos de Trabalho

Este trabalho e resultante de uma entrevista realizada numa empresa, de pequeno porte, do segmento textil, de confeccao de moda feminina, com o intuito de levantar dados para analises posteriores. Aqui sao apresentados os dados gerais, obtidos nesta empresa. Propos-se a identificar uma ferramenta ideal que pudesse desenhar os processos existentes identificados e mapeados da empresa. Identificou-se, entao, a BPMN, e junto com o software BizAgi Process Modeler Copyright©BizAgi Ltd 2011, obteve-se uma forma de apresentar desenhos destes processos. Este trabalho mostra, de uma maneira geral, como e possivel gerar indicadores de desempenho a partir de metricas adquiridas nos postos de trabalho, por meio de controles simples e bem estruturados. Este estudo faz parte de um trabalho destinado ao relatorio final para a disciplina de gerenciamento e simulacao de processos de confeccao textil da EACH/USP, sob a supervisao da professora doutora Isabel Italiano.
