Apparel

Garment design and manufacturing.

Also called: Apparel · Garment manufacturing · 섬유

An industry that cuts pattern pieces from fabric to make garments. The stage just before cutting — Marker Making — is a classic application of 2D Irregular Nesting, laying irregular pattern pieces tightly within the fabric width. Unlike other industries, a grain-line constraint usually fixes each piece's rotation, and matching stripes or checks adds further constraints. Fabric is a large share of cost, so even a 1–2% utilization gain matters economically.

Claims & evidence

Every relationship is a claim with an evidence grade; applicable problem-to-problem relationships also carry an equivalence level. See the evidence policy.

A–X describes evidence reliability; E0–E4 describes mathematical similarity between problems. The two axes are independent.
