Abstract

O processo produtivo têxtil em uma indústria do interior de Minas Gerais: um estudo a partir das mudanças geradas pela inovação tecnológicaThe textile production process in an industry in the interior of Minas Gerais: a study based on the changes generated by technological innovation

Propensity for innovation in textile manufacturing companies at the city of Gaspar/SC, national capital of children's fashion

“…Investment in these aspects, in the textile sector, is a viable alternative to compete and grow, with the development of new ways of producing and reducing costs as well. (Caldeira et al, 2018;Damásio & Monteiro, 2020). On the other hand, it is noted that investment in the execution of research and development (R&D) activities with company employees (26%), as well as R&D with a hired consulting team (8%), show the lowest rates of implemented innovation.…”

“…The improvement dimension requires improving product quality, working conditions, and productivity, while the innovation capacity dimension is decisive in improving product performance in the textile industry (Manthey et al, 2017). Damásio and Monteiro (2020) analyzed the main changes generated by technological innovation in the production process of a textile industry during the period from 1995 to 2015. The process of technological modernization, in the time frame, brought changes in the company's production process, in technological innovations and in labor relations, requiring the company to modernize so that it could be more competitive in the textile market, as the economic situation demanded that the production processes become more efficient in cost, productivity and quality.…”

“…The changes in the production process were more incremental, as there were no radical changes in the design of the production process. The speed of processing and the quality, by electronic control, of spinning and weaving machines were increased, in addition to improving the chemicals in the finishing of the fabric (Damásio & Monteiro, 2020). Cavalcanti and Santos (2022) analyzed the competitiveness of the Brazilian textile chain, taking into account innovation attributes such as: brand building and promotion, flexibility, and high-quality standard production.…”
