Abstract

ABSTRACT Apparel product developers facilitate the interactions between creativity and management by completing product development; without their contributions, production would falter. However, there is little understanding regarding the contributions of apparel product developers. Therefore, a qualitative approach was utilized to complete in-depth interviews of apparel product developers, exploring their work responsibilities and tasks. The findings support that apparel product developers are integral to producing apparel products, and they possess a strong sense of stewardship towards the products. Based upon the findings, we propose a conceptual framework that explains the contributions of apparel product developers during product ideation, determination of product requirements, analysis and review of components and prototypes, sample review, pre-production, and production and post-production. A better understanding of the contributions of apparel product developers during product development offers companies insights from which to improve training for apparel product developers.

服装产品开发人员：工作分析视角下的探索

摘要服装产品开发人员通过完成产品开发，促进创意与管理之间的互动；如果没有他们的贡献，生产就会步履蹒跚。然而，人们对服装产品开发人员的贡献知之甚少。因此，采用定性方法对服装产品开发人员进行深入访谈，探讨他们的工作职责和任务。研究结果支持服装产品开发人员是生产服装产品不可或缺的一部分，他们对产品有强烈的管理意识。基于这些发现，我们提出了一个概念框架，解释了服装产品开发人员在产品构思、产品需求确定、组件和原型分析和审查、样品审查、预生产、生产和后期生产过程中的贡献。更好地了解服装产品开发人员在产品开发过程中的贡献，为公司提供了改进服装产品开发培训的见解。
