Denim products have original visual effects that are integrated with their sewing features. This initial aesthetic appearance risks deterioration if seams are modified because clothing does not fit. Clothing fit problems caused by variations in body shape are sensitive issues that need to be explicitly examined for denim products. In this work, to investigate the effects of body shape on denim clothing fit, denim overalls were chosen, as they cover three primary areas (chest, waist, hips) which are mainly used to define body shapes. For this purpose, overalls were designed in size 40 using 3D fashion design software. In the first part of the study, the size-40 avatar in the program was dressed in denim overalls using four different constructions of denim fabric. Clothing fit for the standard body shape for each fabric was evaluated using tension and pressure maps. Fabric 2, having an average value in terms of weight, thickness, bend, and stretch among the fabrics, was chosen for the second part of the study to examine the effect of body shape on clothing fit. Subsequently, five avatars with different body shapes were designed. Then, for the five different body shapes, avatars were dressed in overalls in the chosen denim fabric. Clothing fit values were evaluated using software tension and pressure maps and found to be within acceptable limits, which is considered ideal. The fit evaluation indicated that varying body shapes with extra width or narrowness of the chest, waist, and hip lines affected the clothing fit.

Hazır giyim işletmelerinin emek yoğun yapısı, insan kaynakları yönetimi sürecinin etkili olmasını gerektirmektedir. Günümüz rekabet koşullarında verimli işgücünün örgütlere kazandırılması, çalışanların yüksek performans gösterebilmesi, performans ve motivasyon arttırıcı yöntem ve uygulamalar yapılmasının gerekliliği, insan kaynakları yönetiminin önemini giderek artırmaktadır. Bu sürecin önemli fonksiyonlarından biri olan iş değerleme, adaletli bir ücret sisteminin kurulması için ücret belirlemeye temel oluşturmak üzere işletmedeki tüm işlerin göreceli olarak önemlerinin belirlenmesine yardımcı olan bir tekniktir. Bu çalışmada bir hazır giyim işletmesinin üretim hattında seçilen işlerin iş değerlemesi yapılarak, işletmede kurumsal bilgi oluşturulması, adil bir ücret sistemi kurulması, çalışanların performanslarına katkısı olacak bir yöntem ve yönetim anlayışı kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla analitik iş değerleme yöntemlerinden faktör puanlama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. İşletmede çalışan ve alanında uzman 4 personel tarafından yapılan değerlendirme sonucuna göre ücret grupları oluşturulmuştur. Böylece işe göre ücret verilmesi amacıyla bir alt yapı oluşturulması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmanın hazır giyim sektöründe iş değerleme ve ücret belirleme için bir örnek teşkil edeceği ve literatüre katkı sağlayacağı ön görülmektedir.

In this study, after defining the concepts of quality and quality control, the concept of statistical process control tools is examined. As a result of the data obtained from denim pants produced by a textile company operating in the ready-to-wear sector, defects were analyzed using statistical process control techniques. In this study, flowchart, control charts, pareto analysis, p-control diagram, cause-effect diagram, and grouping techniques were used. With the use of basic statistical process control tools, the most recurring defects were, and these defects were divided into subheadings for more detailed analysis. In this way, it was tried to prevent the repetition of defects by going down to the root causes of the detected defects. The causes of possible defects that may occur during production and solution suggestions were categorized. By going down to the basic causes of the detected defects and categorized them, defects were prevented by presenting and implementing solution suggestions. It is expected that the study with this different perspective will be an example of the sector and related fields as an alternative method. The aim of this study is to examine quality control practices in the garment industry, contribute to statistical control methods and problem-solving procedures, produce suggestions for problem-solving approaches, and disseminate improvement studies.

In the ready-made clothing industry accurate garment measurement is one of the most important points for the right fitting of the apparel. Garments should be produced to the determined size by the customer or the enterprise. Although, the measurement control of the final product is made by trained operator, the factors such as gradually loose of attention, fatigue and stress could cause faults that could lead to lack of quality and waste of time. In this sense, developing and using objective, fast and economic measurement control systems in terms of both cost effectiveness and the reliability of the controls has become a must. The purpose of the study is to design a system and develop an algorithm to control the measurements of garments automatically. This study, which is determined that image analysis method can be used in measurement control of ready-made garments, will be a new measurement control method in the literature and an example for similar studies. By benefiting from the image analysis methods, measurement mistakes likely to result from the operator will be prevented and the results will be made more reliable.
