Clothing Capp System Based On Product Management, Research,

It is imperative for apparel industry to realize digitization and informalization. But the development in apparel CAPP system is relatively slower than that in apparel CAD or CAM, the cause of which is that the design of craft process must depend on.a great deal of experience and professional knowledge. While these experience and knowledge have not been formed a sort of systematic and integrated system that can be described by computer. So it brings many difficulties for the development of apparel CAPP. Up to now, there have no genuine and practical products of apparel CAPP.From the characteristics of apparel industry and the status of process planning in apparel manufactories in our country today, according to the theories of craft process planning and product-management about clothing, and based on the experiences of the formers' research on apparel CAPP, the writer carry on the study of apparel CAPP orienting product-management. It includes two main parts.The first part of the paper takes an analysis and design on apparel CAPP orienting product-management, including the following aspects.(1) Studying the theories of clothing manufacture and craft process including the edit of craft form, the designing of assembly line and the management of informational files about process.(2) the methodology of apparel CAPP orienting product-management.(3) the general goal, the characteristics and the frame of apparel CAPP system orienting product- management.(4) the functional designing of each subsystems of apparel CAPP. There are apparel product information modeling and management subsystem, apparel process files designing subsystem and the flow chat designing subsystem.In the second part, the optimized method of apparel sewing assembly line is put forward. After predigesting working procedureflow chart, designer creates the vector graph and marks off priority area.. At last, organizing into groups and optimizing is finished by the priority connection, the compatible relationship among these working procedures and assembled range. An example is studied in the end to analyze the application of this method.The article aimed to design a system that can be applied in different kinds of apparel enterprises. The system takes the crafts databases as the core, defines the crafts data on the method oriented object, applies the idea of interactive design and aided with many assistant-applying tools. Furthermore, the system describes the product information with a descriptive method oriented object, then construct the modeling of the products based on a lots of examples in order to transfer the modeling process when the products are designed into a process in which the new model can be acquired by inheriting and modifying the information in the old ones.In a word, the system is designed by the principle of pursuing integration. That is to say, it will integrate the process planning with information management and integrate interactive design with intelligent design.
