“…Many studies have been focused on global textile and apparel industry over the past many years [16][17][18][19][20]. Federick and Gereffi (2011) proved that China has been a winner, while other Asian suppliers are still struggling to expand the linkage into textile manufacturing, garment design and branding strategy [21].…”

Abstract:The impressive growth of the Vietnam textile and apparel industry has led to some concerns due to its insufficient value chain and fierce competition within the industry. Thus, performance evaluation is significant issue to estimate the values of companies over time. Firstly, the grey prediction is used to forecast future data for 20 largest enterprises in six years (2016-2021) based on actual indicators. Then, the paper uses Malmquist productivity index and its decomposition into efficiency and technical change to measure the past productivity growth. Finally, window analysis is applied to significantly detect the trends of performance in 12 years (2010-2021) from large number of inputs and outputs. The results are found that how technology changes is the determinant for productivity growth and undeveloped technology causes a huge barrier to industry. In addition, the results are illustrated that textile companies are predicted to be more stable due to the importance of supplying materials for the entire industry. This paper aims to prove in-depth analysis can be conducted through combined models and also provide some recommendations for enhancing the sustainability performance of the industry.

“…Este ambiente competitivo, complexo e diversificado tem estimulado as empresas a adotarem procedimentos e práticas cooperativas, de modo a reduzir riscos e otimizar o uso de re-cursos, aumentando a competitividade na indús-tria. A combinação de práticas cooperativas com ambientes competitivos propicia o surgimento de estratégias comuns, englobando fornecedores, fabricantes, montadores, distribuidores e varejistas, estendendo a cadeia desde o fornecedor do fornecedor até o cliente do cliente, o consumidor final (Lam, 2006).…”

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os resultados relativos à implantação de um processo de esverdeamento das atividades de compra, abastecimento e uso de adesivo em uma empresa da indústria calçadista. Tal processo foi chamado de esverdeamento da operação. O método de pesquisa foi o estudo de um caso. Foram estudadas as modificações implantadas nas condições de uso e aplicação de adesivos, envolvendo uma empresa focal e um fornecedor da indústria calçadista. Observou-se que os principais motivadores para ações de esverdeamento de operações foram pressões sociais de consumidores e legais de órgãos de fiscalização e a possibilidade de vantagem competitiva por redução de custos na operação industrial. Foram observados expressivos ganhos econômicos, sociais e ambientais no esverdeamento. Os principais ganhos foram: redução de 85% no número de pessoas expostas ao produto, com alto potencial gerador de dependência química; redução no uso de cerca de 3.700 embalagens metálicas por ano; e redução na emissão de solventes volatilizados na atmosfera em aproximadamente 5.200 quilogramas por mês.Palavras-Chave: Gestão Verde da Cadeia de Suprimentos, Cadeia de Suprimentos, Compras Verdes, Gestão Ambiental, Sustentabilidade. Abstracts:The purpose of this article is to analyse the results of the process of greening the operations of purchasing, supply and use of adhesives in the footwear industry. This process was called greening. The research method was the case study. The changes were implemented in the conditions of use and application of adhesives, involving a focal and supplier company in the footwear industry. It was observed that the main motivators for greening industrial operations were social and legal pressures from consumers and supervisory official organisms and the possibility of competitive advantage by reducing costs in industrial operations. Significant economic, social and environmental gains were observed. The main gains were: reduction of 85% of the people exposed to the product, with high potential chemical dependency generator; reduction in the use of approximately 3,700 cans per year; and reduction in the emission of solvents volatilized into the air at approximately 5,200 kilograms per month.

“…Flexibility is particularly important regarding today's short-lived fashion, where fashion trends change quickly [7]. However, due to geographical separation and institutional differences between different partners, effective information sharing has become a key issue and inadequate information sharing hampers the flexibility and synchronous functioning of the textile supply chain [7,8]. Information is a value creating entity in the modern textile industry, which relates to transparency, product safety, and supply chain management.…”

“…The outsourcing of manufacturing activities helps the textile and clothing (T&C) retailers/brand owners to reduce risks by not owning any production facilities, therefore keeping the supply chains flexible and encouraging the constant search for quality-conscious and cost-effective producers [5,6].

Traceability has recently gained considerable attention in the textile industry. Traceability stands for information sharing about a product including the product history, specification, or location. With the involvement of globally dispersed actors in the textile supply chain, ensuring appropriate product quality with timely supplies is crucial for surviving in this industry with ever increasing competition. Hence it is of paramount importance for a supply chain actor to track every product and trace its history in the supply chain. In this context, this paper presents a framework to implement traceability in the textile supply chain. A system approach has been followed, where firstly the usage requirement of traceability is defined, and then a framework for implementing intra-actor or internal traceability and inter-actor or external traceability is discussed. This article further presents a sequential diagram to demonstrate the interaction and information exchange between the actors in the supply chain, when the traceability information is requested. An example is also illustrated for data storage using a relational database management system and information exchange using XML for the textile weaver. Finally, the article discusses challenges and future studies required to implement traceability in the textile supply chain.
