Abstract
With the development of mass customization, the traditional garment production model needs to be optimized to have a more sustainable structure. To meet demand for flexibility, low-cost, and high-efficiency, an innovative resource sharing mechanism was proposed in this paper to form a new sustainable type of garment production. Different from the individual production in traditional models, the new mechanism involves resources being shared among various manufacturers. The tradeoff between positive and negative effects of the proposed mechanism is a key issue for sustainable production. In the present study, an overall sustainable index, integrating four production performance indicators, was defined on the basis of an Analytical Network Process to assess various production scenarios. According to the discrete-event simulation results of the different scenarios, we found that garment manufacturers could obtain comprehensive improvements in sustainable production by implementing the proposed resource sharing mechanism under the threshold of an increasing production failure rate.

Sustainable production plays a vital role in the development of future supply chain management
To decrease the waste generated by this ineffective production, a series of innovative mechanisms have been proposed for supply chain management, such as distributed manufacturing systems [1] or decision-support frameworks DESIRES [2]

Summary
Sustainable production plays a vital role in the development of future supply chain management. The scale of garment manufacturing in developing countries has rapidly expanded, especially in China. These countries have obtained many economic benefits by original equipment manufacturing, while their environments have suffered the equivalent cost. An increasing number of studies have been conducted in this field in recent years, e.g., [3,4,5,6]. Based on current sustainability issues in garment production and the aforementioned studies regarding sustainability, sustainable garment production needs to be more flexible, less costly, and more efficient for future supply chains
