In these times of rising costs, increasing competition, and falling sales prices in the garment industry, it is of particular importance that productivity is maximized. This research is focused on the design and development of a tool that can simulate elementary gestures and movements on a sewing workstation and calculate the expected time of each operation using the GSD method which is the adequate predetermined motion time system for the sewn products and apparel industries. The digital simulation of gestures and postures of the operator was possible by using bi-dimensional human digital model, but it is still relatively complex due to the variety and complexity of the human behavioral states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
