In today’s global apparel industry, garments that are designed domestically are often manufactured overseas. Apparel Production Management and the Technical Package is essential for fashion students and professionals who want to understand this growing trend in production and gain the skills necessary for this new universe of apparel manufacturing. The text provides an overview of production management and processes in the global marketplace and examines in detail the components of the technical package, or tech-pack--a series of forms that defines a garment's specifications and is critical to ensuring that a particular style is executed correctly and in the most cost- and time-efficient manner possible.

Features

-Diagrams of a production department's division of labor, costing components, and global sourcing structure

-Discussion of the role of technology in production management, including PDM and PLM software

-Examples of completed technical package sheets from actual apparel companies

-Blank technical package sheets representing the standard of what is used across the apparel industry

-Appendices containing basic body croquis, industrial sewing stitches, a button selector gauge, care labeling regulations, and blank templates from a standard tech-pack
