Application of Multimedia for Productivity Enhancement in Clothing Industry

The Clothing Industry Training Authority, with the assistance of The Hong Kong Productivity Council on multimedia technology, has developed three sets of CD-ROMs to enhance the productivity in the clothing industry. Users can easily obtain knowledge and information in related to clothing technology in our CD-ROMs. Our developments cover three major products. These include :

Application of Workplace Engineering in Sewing Room

Hong Kong's clothing industry faces a two fold challenge from both developing and developed countries. Developing countries offer much lower labor and land costs than Hong Kong. Developed countries have their own domestic market and are adopting quick response strategies, they also have the necessary resource to invest in latest technology.

In order to compete with these challenges, Hong Kong's clothing industry must improve its productivity by the wider application of industrial engineering techniques. One application of industry engineering which is particularly relevant to a labor intensive industry such as clothing is "workplace engineering".
