Analysis and Optimization of the Body Measurement Program Supporting the Clothing Ergonomics

Abstract:

The manual body measurement method is one of the main methods for clothing enterprises to collect the body measure data for garment at present. Because there are some problems in the current measurement method, for instance, the less consideration in the clothing Ergonomics, low efficiency and poor accuracy of the data, the adjustment of the measurement process is systematical proposed, respectively from the aspects of the measurement environment, the friendliness to the measured people, the measurers' workload and the rationality of the measurement parts. And the different measurement processes' applicability in various uses is analysed. The pre-measurement, measurement and post-measurement' environment is improved. Concerning the mental endurance of the measured people, their times of changing positions during the measurement is reduced. The times of the measurers and the tools' move during the measurement is minimized. The shared points' use of the different measurement parts is adjusted. The emphasis of this paper is to prove the measurement methods in the different uses through the time and the data obtained from the experiments of the optimized measurement methods, and gives an adaptive analysis of the amended methods to achieve the purpose of optimizing the corresponding applications.
