The objective of this paper is to develop a model for a customer- “multiple choices” design system.
During the last 20 years there has been a dramatic technical development in the production of flat knitted fashion garments. This has made it possible to rationalize design and production of knitted products in a way that it’s possible to make a knitted garment ready made directly in the knitting machine, with a minimum of after coming processes. Starting point is a business model with the knitting machines located in the store. The customer takes an active part in the design process and garments are customized to fulfill actual demand. The objective of this paper is to develop a model for a customer- “multiple choices” design system. The objective is also to combine the complete garment knitting technology with the area of mass customization and show how this could be implemented in the business of fashion products. The result is an overview of the area of mass customization, complete garment knitting technology and Knit 142 On Demand business concept. A multiple-choice system where the customer could select style, pattern, size, color and other features of the garment in order to customize the product is presented. - Jonas Larsson and Joel Peterson
