The effects of width of the fabric,fabric and model type on the efficiency of marker plan in terms of apparel

The cost of the fabric which is the raw material of apparel constitutes approximately the half of the total product cost. consequently,it is very important that the fabric be used efficiently. in this study,six different models from upper group garments are chosen. the numbers and shapes of patterns of the models are carefully selected to be different from each other. the marker (cutting) plans of these models are prepared in three different fabric widths and four different fabric types with gemini nest expert program. model type,width of the fabric and shrinkage values are selected as independent variables and efficiency of marker plan as dependent variable. the obtained data is analyzed and interpereted.
