This paper is to focus the financial ratio analysis of the Korean textile and apparel companies due to fast changing domestic industry. Financial ratios are playing a pivotal role in management analysis to assess the present conditions to predict the future. Subjects are belonging to textile and apparel manufacturers based on Firm Classification Standard while registered as securities listed-firms or Kosdaq-listed firms under the Electronic Notification System of Korean Banking Supervisory Authority. 41 companies' data have been analyzed including 17 apparel companies and 24 textile companies. 14 representative financial ratios are analyzed. In this paper, financial ratios can be classified into four categories as follows: stability ratios, profitability ratios, growth ratios and activity ratios. The independent t-test was performed using SPSS 18 for a 10 year simple arithmetic average. The following conclusion has reached regarding aspects of management conditions and performances. When compared the ratios indicating stability, textile and apparel companies did not show much difference in debt ratio and the ratio of earning to interests. However, when compared the profitability ratios measuring the ability to produce incomes, apparel companies showed higher ratios than textile companies. Thus it is important to recognize financial characteristics of each industry.

The study was to find out the current situation of supply and demand of apparel CAD systems in Korea. Also it was hoped to gather any valuable information about the current usage of apparel CAD systems for the development of the enhanced apparel CAD system. Three interviews were carried out for the study. The first interview with the importing agents was to find out the apparel CAD system's supplying situation. The second interview with the users of apparel CAD system was about the usage of the systems and related informations. The last interview was about the pattern making facilities, which was pointed out by the users to be the most inconvenient part of apparel CAD systems. The results of the survey were: 1. The supply and demand of apparel CAD systems is increasing. 2. The education, training, maintenance of the system should be improved by the supplier. 3. Apparel CAD systems are used for various production systems in the apparel industry. 4. 100% of the systems are utilized for pattern input and 89% of the systems are utilized for marker making. Only 15% of the systems are utilized in pattern making process, which 80% of the users realize to be computerized. 5. The most serious barrier to the better usage of the system is the communication with the system in foreign language. This barrier could be lifted when Korean apparel CAD system is developed.

In the fashion industry, 2D apparel CAD technology has already matured and various 3D apparel CADs have been introduced and are available for users. In the fourth industrial revolution era, the 3D apparel technology will be highlighted, and the research of 3D apparel CAD will be much more emphasized upon. Currently, various 3D apparel CAD have been developed and commercialized due to the rapid development of technology. However, in reality, the analysis and discussions about its problems and the improvements for clothing from a user's perspective have not been carried out yet. The purpose of this study was to provide the reference information about 3D apparel CAD for users by studying and comparing the characteristics of 3D apparel CAD. The 3D apparel CAD, DC Suite and CLO3D were selected for technical comparative study. The 3D apparel CAD mainly includes 3D body system, garment pattern system and garment simulation system and so on. It was compared and analyzed; the problem was presented, and the directions of improvement were put forth.

The existing research on sustainability in the apparel industry provides no clear consensus on the definition of sustainability for the apparel brands and how sustainability of apparel brands as it is perceived by consumers can be measured. To fill this gap in research, the present study proposes and tests a confirmatory model of sustainability for apparel brands based on the three pillars of sustainability (i.e., economic, environmental, social sustainability) theorized in the Triple Bottom Line model. A survey of 754 U.S. consumers provided data for empirical testing. The results support the three-dimensional factor structure of sustainability for apparel brands and reveal that a second-order sustainability exerts a significant impact on both brand image and brand trust. The findings provide theoretical implications for researchers and practical managerial suggestions for marketers.

Pattern layout design is very important to the automation of apparel industry. Until now, the genetic algorithm and Tabu search method have been applied to layout design automation. With the genetic algorithm and Tabu search method, the obtained values are not always consistent depending on the initial conditions, number of iterations, and scheduling. In addition, the selection of various parameters for these methods is not easy. This paper presents a hybrid search method that uses a neural network and simulated annealing to solve these problems. The layout of pattern elements was optimized to verify the potential application of the suggested method to apparel pattern layout design.
