INVESTIGATION ON DETERMINATION OF THE SEWING THREAD CONSUMPTION IN GARMENT INDUSTRY

Abstract

The determination of the sewing thread consumption is an important basis for
calculating product costs, properly and sufficiently preparing sewing threads for
production and contributing to finding measures to save sewing threads. This article
presents the results of the research to determine the consumption for apparel
products in garment industry based on the models of consumption calculation for
common seams are built from the experimental data of the application of BMA
techniques (Bayesian Model Average). TC.V1.0 software program has been set up to
support the process of calculating consumption for the product and the order in
garment industry. The 24 models for calculating the thread consumption for 24 types
of stitches have been identified with R2
= 0.964 to 0.999.
