Author Description

Textile Industries all over the world are taking the support of Information technology to ensure smooth production operations. The IT department in a Textile house helps in managing the supply chain. Today, textile companies employ many information technology solutions, including supply chain management (SCM), material requirements planning (MRP), data warehousing, e-commerce and e-tailing. The goal is to make information processing, order processing and product distribution more efficient. Most Thai and Indonesian firms still use standard industrial sewing machines, and only the large Thai establishments producing high-quality clothing have introduced computers for design, special sewing operations and inventory control. Garment production in Bangladesh uses simple operator-guided electric machines, although some firms in Export Processing Zones (EPZs) are beginning to use computerized attachments. Local establishments make extensive use of second- hand machinery. Students, scholars and teachers in the field will find this book most useful and inormative.
