Textile and apparel imports from the People's Republic of China: an examination of market share and price elasticityHester, Susan Beers January 1983 (has links)
The international trade of textiles and apparel between the United States and the People's Republic of China was the focus of this research. It had three objectives. The first objective was to investigate the textile and apparel industrial sectors in the PRC, and to describe the PRC's pattern of importation and exportation of textile and apparel products worldwide. The second objective was to investigate the role of price in relation to import market share. The market share of consumption rather than market share of imports was examined in the final objective.
Data for these analyses were obtained from the Textile Information Management System database (TIMS), the Department of Labor statistical database (LABSTAT), United Nations international trade series, and the State Statistical Bureau of the PRC. SAS procedures were used for analyses (SYSREG and TSCSREG), and to graphically depict the changes in market shares. Overlay graphs showed the percentage of consumption supplied to the U.S. market by the domestic industry, the PRC, and other importing countries.
The results of the linear regression analyses suggest that for the 21 active categories studied, the combination of relative price, market share lagged one quarter, and market share lagged two quarters is a significant predictor of the current period's market share; but relative price alone is an unreliable predictor. From 1976 to 1981 the other importing countries increased their market share in these selected categories by five or more percentage points in twice as many categories as did the PRC, and in three times as many as u.s. producers. Increases and decreases in consumption balanced each other out, but domestic production showed twice as many decreases as increases in these categories. Overall, U.S. producers were more competitive in man-made fiber and wool apparel than in comparable cotton categories. They were also more competitive in the female apparel market than in the male apparel market.
The implications of this research relate to policy formulation of textile agreements between the United States and the People's Republic of China, and to possible production decisions by U.S. manufacturers. / Ph. D.

A comparative study of the flexibility of three types of apparel production systems to variations in collar designsKanakadurga, K. S. January 1994 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the flexibilities of three apparel production systems to variations in products manufactured on them. The production system used by a company was determined based on five system attributes (i.e., type of workflow, level of WIP inventory, number of tasks, mode of transportation between workstations, and level of interaction between operators). The product line of the company (i.e., staple, semi-staple, fashion, and high-fashion) was determined based on the number and type of collar designs manufactured by the company. Flexibility of a system was determined by the range of collar designs manufactured by the system.
A stratified proportionate random sample of manufacturers producing men's and women's shirts and blouses was selected for the survey. The questionnaire was pilot tested for content validity and reliability. The adjusted response rate was 39% (n = 52). Non-parametric tests were performed to test the statistical significance of the hypothesized relationships.
Three production systems (i.e., bundle system, progressive bundle system [PBS], and modular system) were compared for their volume of production. The size of the company (i.e., number of employees and the total volume of production) was compared between the three production systems.
The five system attributes were found to be significantly related to the system used. The procedure adopted for determining the product line of the company was also found to be significant. The relationship between production systems and product lines was significant in some of the cases and not significant in others. PBS was found to be most flexible due to its ability to accommodate a greater style variation followed by bundle system and modular system. The relationship between production systems and the volume of production and also between the system and the size of the company were not significant. / Master of Science

The challenges faced by CMT employers in the clothing industry in the greater Durban area.Chetty, Katrina. January 2008 (has links)
This research study examines the challenges facing CMTs in the Durban area. The researcher conducted a literature review on the evolution of the clothing industry, internationally and locally, the emergence of the CMT factory in Durban and the key aspects affecting CMTs in their current environment including yet not restricted to; imports, labour regulation, worker co-operation and CMT distributors. CMTs are the labour components in the clothing sector, providing jobs for woman and unskilled to semi-skilled individuals. Therefore, the poor performance of CMTs are cause for concern in South Africa, a country that is experiencing disturbing levels of unemployment. The evolution of the CMT factory highlights its reasons for coming into being i.e. short-run times and high productivity levels. When large manufacturers restructured to remain competitive, they shed the labour component of their operation. The reason for this move was to do away with labour issues. CMTs, in effect, became this labour component, without the benefits associated with that of a large manufacturing firm. However, the labour regulations that came into effect do not distinguish between a small business i.e. the CMT factory and a large manufacturer, as the same laws apply to both. The current CMT environment makes it difficult for employers to remain competitive, both locally and internationally, when factors such as low productivity hinder performance. The study provides vital information from the CMT employers' perspective and recommendations that have been made are practical and can be made use of with the help of the government. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2008.
