A lion share of foreign currency has been earned from this sector an overwhelming 82% of Bangladesh’s total merchandise export.1 So RMG sector has a direct influence to its economic development. Adding to this, around 75% of people in Bangladesh are involved with this industry directly or indirectly. So a large amount of people is interlinked with that sector and thus reflects the importance of the sector for its upcoming future. However, the scenario has changed a lot since this industry started sailing in Bangladesh with the establishment of Desh Garment, the first ever readymade garment industry in our country. Although we have emerged as one of the key exporters in this industry, the introduction of High-tech machinery in the industry is yet to be done in a broader way. Still a small amount of industries is interested to invest on using high tech machines. But the fashion industry is witnessing the advent of exciting new technology, which will change the future of the business.2 Besides, there are several functions in the readymade garment industry but sewing section can be considered as one of the most important and valuable functions. Now a day’s apparel manufacturing industries are trying to develop their current production system and situation and continuously looking for new production tools and techniques in order to keep swiftness with the rapid changes of trend in consumers of apparel products.3 Various kinds of researches and innovations are continuing for different sections of the sector. Currently in our RMG industry sewing procedure has to undergo mostly by manually which consumes a substantial amount of time like other sections in the garments.4 Thus, it creates a significant impact over lead time. Many processes are available which are talking a lot of time but not adding value in proportion to that. So to deal with the recent problems & challenges industries have to improve production efficiency & productivity, reduce lead time, ensuring proper quality requirements.3 On this point introduction of automatic sewing machine in sewing section can play a vital role to increase productivity and to reduce lead time. Various kinds of high tech sewing machines using for different processes can lead to reduce the time. When reduction of process is possible than time and cost will be reduced also as all are interlinked. Moving to High tech machines is also become essential for the apparel manufacturers because of the availability of unskilled workers which is one of the challenges for the sector.5,6 This report will focus on the implementation of high tech machine in place of manual and demonstrate a huge industrial save. This will demonstrate how high tech machine can make the difference and influence employees to invest for high tech machines. Moving forward to technology will not only help to face the challenges but also st","PeriodicalId":17152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89671099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As interest in careers in the fashion industry has grown, the competition among university fashion departments to attract quality students has also escalated. To attract quality students, fashion programs recognize that they must distinguish themselves from other programs by offering an educational experience that is highly aligned with students’ expectations. A recent inquiry sent to the International Textiles and Apparel Association revealed that there is presently no accurate record regarding the criteria students use in selecting a fashion program. Thus, a pertinent research issue involves the identification of the major factors that affect students’ decisions regarding the selection between various fashion programs. This survey study examined the criteria students view as most important when selecting a fashion program and asked students to rate the most desirable characteristics of a fashion program. Evidence relating to the characteristics that students’ perceive as important for selecting a fashion program provides useful information on how resources should be most effectively allocated to developing an attractive program.","PeriodicalId":17152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88780260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is inevitable, since it begins as soon as any textile article is produced and continues throughout the life time of the article until it is finally rejected as useless. It may arise for a variety of reasons. Slater1 describes that the process of degradation in textile materials involves changes in the molecular structure (involving the main-chain, side chain, substituent groups or molecular bonds of any kind) that bring about changes, usually adverse in nature in any physical or chemical property of the fibres of which the textile material is made. These changes may include deterioration in physico-mechanical properties (such as strength, abrasion resistance, tactile response, colour etc.). Degradation is a pervasive change in the textile structure that is inevitable and universal and degradation cannot be avoided completely. Its progress can be declared but not halted totally. Thus its impact may be felt economically, aesthetically, or physically, depending on the type of degradation takes place.

He argued that Brexit occurred because of concerns over immigration and the desire for sovereignty. He showed that the voting map revealed those who voted for the withdrawal from the EU had experienced the loss of labor-intensive manufacturing jobs. He identified the demographics of those “Leave” voters as having less education, fewer socio-economic opportunities, and generally older in age. “Remain” voters, he noted, generally were better educated, cosmopolitan, and younger, but they did not turn out in large numbers to vote. He charged the fashion leaders to help the government create industrial policies that benefit the “hollowed out” manual labor sector of the country.
