However, the benefits to the supply chain are determined by the extent of implementation of a VMI model.

To be successful a company must bring new products to the market which can completely satisfy customers' expectations, as well as the company's desire to increase its profitability. Because product price is an important decisive factor which influences customers' purchase behavior, and it is generally established independently as a result of pure competition, the only way to get a higher profit margin is to reduce product costs. The product costs are committed as the product goes through new product development stages and it is therefore critical for the company to manage costs in every phase of this process. The main focus of this paper is to review current cost techniques and methods which can be successfully applied during the development of new textile products.

The system was specifically devised for use in a direct cabling machine, wherein yarn tension in the spindle or pot yarn is highly critical and dictates the uniformity of the cabled yarn. Since a balloon formed by the creel yarn always encompasses the pot yarn in a direct cabling machine, yarn tension measurement using a wired sensor is far-fetched. Accordingly, a wireless yarn tension sensor was developed to address this problem and perform online yarn tension measurement. The wireless sensor can be used as an active monitoring tool for measuring online yarn tension in both component yarns, while the closed loop control system replaces passive yarn brakes used in the current direct cabling machines and executes a control mechanism that can control yarn tension adaptively. The device uses Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology with radio frequency (RF) transmission to effectively carry out dynamic online measurement. The control system in conjunction with the wireless sensor ensures equal tension in the component yarns, resulting in the formation of a uniform cabled yarn with equal lengths of both yarns.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Shankam, V.

While this approach led to improvement in weaving efficiency, warp breaks still represent a major problem, especially for today's high-speed weaving machines. Researchers have been trying to develop commercial automated systems to repair warp breaks with no success. The goal of this study is to explore inexpensive methods to detect warp breaks using nontraditional technique that would pave the way to automate warp break repair. To achieve the goal, a system that can detect warp breaks using MEMS accelerometers as sensors was developed for Jacquard weaving. The MEMS accelerometers were mounted on harness cords of a Jacquard tie. MEMS output acceleration signals components in the vertical and horizontal directions were analysed using time and frequency domains. The signals were acquired while warp ends are running and at the moment of intentional breaks. The analysis led to a successful detection of warp breaks, especially using the horizontal acceleration component that is mainly due to harness cord vibration.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Lee, J.
