Abstract

One core characteristic of the textile and clothing industry (TCI) is networking. The extended smart garment organisation (xSGO) framework will improve the interorganisational knowledge networking in a holistic way. Applying this xSGO framework, a new quality (of) partnership in the textile and clothing value-creation chain will be enabled. The xSGO framework comprises a configuration toolset, which allows modelling of and analyse an existing network for innovation and production, and to select and configure appropriate measures in order to improve the integration of activities and actors. Integrative components enable knowledge communication based on Moda-ML, and involve adapted RFID technologies, combined with a system for product tracing and tracking. In particular fast ramp up of new garment products in supply networks is conceptually and methodically improved. This section gives an overview about the holistic, system-oriented xSGO framework, explains details of quality harmonisation as one major component, and presents results of practical applications in the textile and clothing industry.
