Diversification of assortment of jacket-type products for men

Abstract

The work considers the problem of developing the assortment of products for men by applying the principles of modular design. Theoretical studies were aimed at determining the methodology of modular design and principles of its application in diversifying the assortments of products for men. The researchers have defined a system of coefficients for the evaluation of systems of models of products elaborated with the use of modular design principles. The experimental researches included the formation of a nomenclature of constructive modules for jacket-type products, creation of a database called SB-GIOVANI in the automated design system Investronica and elaboration of series of new models and series of jackets for men by using the nomenclature and the mentioned database. Owing to the implemented SB-GIOVANI database and the nomenclature of constructive modules, it became possible to elaborate a wide series of new proposals and the basic model was used for the subsequent manufacturing of products in a wide gamma of sizes, waistlines and conformance groups at experimental stage.
