ТЕхНОЛОГИЯ ДИАГНОСТИКИ ОРГАНИЗАЦОННОЙ КУЛьТУРы ПРЕДПРИЯТИЯ В ПЕРИОД ЕЕ РЕСТРУКТУРИЗАЦИИ

Diagnostics of organization culture is one of the most important parameters for obtaining an overall picture of the state of affairs in the organization. It is a reliable tool for making management decisions. Thanks to diagnostic, there is a search for various opportunities to increase the economic efficiency of the company in the market and the organization of the labor process. The theoretical analysis presented in the study showed that the modern world there are a considerable number of diagnostics that help analyze the situation within an organization. It’s important to select the necessary technology that suits a specific company and specifics of its activities. The study made it possible to analyze and evaluate the level of organization culture of a medium-scale enterprise in the clothing industry. The study revealed the problem of a complete lack of cultural analysis as at a clothing enterprise. Therefore, in order to study the state of organizational culture and further improve it, if necessary, the technology of K. Cameron and R. Quinn was adapted. Diagnosing organizational culture allows you to identify elements of an existing culture and analyze which ones be abandoned and which ones can continue to be developed. The novelty is that the technology for diagnosing the organization culture of any enterprise differs from each other due to adaption to the company and its individual characteristics. The practical significance of using the technology is that in the future it will be easier for the company’s management to adjust the company’s development plan in connection with the shortcomings and advantages.

The current level of development of information technology makes it possible to automate the work of specialists at many stages of sewing production. Currently, individual stages of automated design of garments are being developed and implemented, both using specialized systems and using available software. Developers and clothing manufacturers increasingly began to use the Access database management system at various stages and links of the production processes of a clothing enterprise. The activity of a technologist is related to the process of technological preparation of production and involves the development and use of a large volume of technological documentation, and therefore providing the technologist with an automated workstation is a necessary condition for the rationalization of his production activities. An automated workstation for a sewing production technologist has been developed for an existing enterprise with a detailed description of the used MS Access functionality, and the design stages are presented in detail in accordance with the requirements of the sewing enterprise. A method has been developed for generating and storing data on the assortment of sewing products, technological processing of product components, technological conditions for performing sewing operations, materials and accessories, equipment and devices. Integrated calculations help to calculate key parameters of technological preparation of production. The interface provides quick access to the necessary information, as well as the ability to select data using convenient controls and filtering. The practical significance of the developed workstation of the technologist lies in the fact that it can be presented as an information and logical model of the workstation of the technologist and partially or fully adapted for the production of clothing of a different range.

Heilan Home Asset-light Business Model Financial Risk Control

In recent years, with the rapid development of digital technologies such as Internet, big data and artificial intelligence, enterprises pay more attention to flexibility and efficiency when pursuing maximum business value. The asset-light business model emphasizes the realization of maximum business benefits through minimum capital investment, catering to the dynamic nature of market demand. However, with the rapid development of the asset-light business model, at the same time, the low utilization rate of funds, single financing channels, low inventory turnover, insufficient research and development investment and other problems make enterprises face financial risks in investment, financing, operation, development and other aspects. Heilan Home, as a typical asset-light clothing enterprise, is also faced with such problems. Therefore, how to effectively identify and control financial risks is an urgent problem that Heilan Home and even asset-light enterprises need to solve.

Supply chain plastic footprint analysis

Plastic is one of the most basic materials for many industries. Enterprise, as an important stakeholder in plastic pollution control, still lack methodology for investigating the performance of mitigating its plastic pollution. In this work, we proposed a methodology, integrating material flow analysis, life cycle analysis, and scenario analysis for analyzing plastic footprint (incl., material and environmental footprint) at enterprise level and from the perspective of supply chain. A clothing enterprise was chosen as the studied case, and three pathways of plastic reduction were analyzed, incl., reducing unnecessary plastic packaging, using alternative materials, and using recycled materials. The indexes of the plastic footprint of the case enterprise were obtained. In 2019, the weight of plastic packaging used by the case enterprise was 1,949.10 t. The average weight of plastic packaging used for each garment was 19.67 g. The weight of plastic packaging consumed per 10,000 USD of revenue was 0.25 kg. It was found that promoting lightweight plastic materials in supply chain (∼14% reduction in thickness of plastic packaging bags), reducing unnecessary plastic use within the enterprise, increasing the number of plastic packaging cycles (∼50% reused), and using recycled plastic materials (∼15%) are effective ways for enterprises to achieve environmental benefits.

On the Digital Transformation of Clothing Enterprise Management

In recent years, with the rapid development of China’s clothing market, clothing enterprises have ushered in development opportunities. However, some clothing enterprises still adopt the traditional management concept, which leads to the low efficiency and quality of enterprise management, resulting in a big gap with the clothing enterprises adopting the digital management concept. For clothing enterprises, digital transformation is an inevitable step to meet the development requirements of the information age. This paper firstly introduces the basic concept of digital enterprise management, then analyzes the shortcomings of the current clothing enterprise management, and then discusses the key points of digital transformation of clothing enterprise management combined with the characteristics of clothing enterprises.

Branding Guilt: American Apparel Inc. and Latina Labor in Los Angeles

A study of the marketing strategies of the clothing enterprise, American Apparel, how it targets affluent, educated youth through socially conscious tactics, including a focus on pro-immigrant rights and Los Angeles-made, “sweatshop-free” advertising. The essay analyzes the ideologies and stances behind marketing materials that often contain images of Latinas/os as laborers, and white (European origin) population as consumers, and examines how U.S.-based ethical capitalism operates as a neoliberal form of social regulation to champion personal responsibility and individual freedom, in often hidden and inferentially racist and classist ways.

The Research of Clothing Identification Based on RFID Technology of IOT

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a kind of the non-contact automatic identification technology. Clothing identification has many and complex characteristics, the existing clothing identification method have many defects. In order to adapt to the mass production demands of modern clothing enterprise, this paper puts forward the new clothing identification method based on RFID. And the anti collision algorithm is the key and prerequisite technology to identify targets correctly. Thus, based on the study of the existing anti collision algorithms, we discuss the problem of tags’ collision, analysis and contrast the existing algorithms. And then, the paper proposes the new anti collision algorithm. According to the improved algorithm, the labels are divided into several groups, and then identified correctly by the group identification algorithm. By the results of recognition result, we can estimate the number of the labels in the appointed area, and adjust the algorithm corresponding. The simulation results show that the algorithm is much better than the traditional anti ones.

A Fuzzy-AHP Method to Enterprise’s Partner Selection under the Green Operation Strategy

To solve partner selection problems under enterprise’s green operation strategy nowadays, a new fuzzy-AHP method based on the AHP and basic theory of the triangular fuzzy number was given. Moreover, the evaluation hierarchy structure and corresponding evaluation process were described. Compared with traditional AHP approach, the proposed model combines subjective analysis with quantitative analysis more reasonably, synthesizes group opinions more adequately. The method can be practiced easily and widely, mainly because of the model’s simple, normative arithmetic formulas and the consistency of triangular-fuzzy-number-based judgment matrices. The results of a case study on selecting fabric suppliers in a middle-scale clothing enterprise indicate that, by applying the method-based software system, fair and reasonable conclusions under group decision-making environment can be acquired clearly.

A template-based approach for automatic mapping between business process and BPEL process

The method builds up mapping relationships between the key points of business level process and BPEL process, which helps users to adjust the business level process with simplified operations, and automatically maps the changes to BPEL. In addition, a case of the application of the method in a clothing enterprise was illustrated.

Accounting, accountability and cost efficiency at the Commonwealth of Australia Clothing Factory, 1911-1918

Studies that examine the early adoption of scientific management practices in both Australia and the US are often authored by historians who focus on workers' struggles for dignity, autonomy, and control. Ellem (1989) and Frances (1993) related the history of Australia's Commonwealth Clothing Factory (CCF) from this perspective. Understandably, they did not examine the dynamics of implementing modern cost accounting procedures in a state-owned, unionised clothing enterprise, nor did they discuss the impact of the government's mandate to maintain cost efficiency. This paper re-examines the early history of the CCF in light of these perspectives and concludes that economic and political rationales are key determinants in the implementation of these procedures.
