conversations.value: Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear
  Part One covers 'flat' blocks and pattern adaptation for a wide range of garments for leisurewear, workwear and nightwear.
  Part Two covers the pattern cutting of the basic sleeves and collars. These are standard processes that are used in almost all types of pattern cutting adaptations.
  Part Three demonstrates 'form' pattern cutting, this method requires blocks that conform more closely to the body form and often involves complex methods of cut and construction. This section includes basic blocks for classic formal garments; suits, shirts and coats. It also demonstrates the cutting of the types of leisurewear which some manufacturers like to cut to the male body shape.
  Part Four includes a chapter on simple grading techniques and also a chapter on altering patterns to fit the individual figure.
  Part Five illustrates the latest software offered by CAD suppliers for the menswear trade. The repetition of styles in this sector means that CAD is very applicable to the manufacture of men's clothing. CAD technology is now often integrated into design practices through product data management systems (PDM), which are often extended into product lifecycle management (PLM). Instant communication of procedures has become vital to companies designing in the UK but manufacturing overseas. The cost of CAD systems has reduced dramatically today, most clothing companies use some form of computer technology and the larger companies operate systems of considerable complexity.

conversations.value: PLM systems have been able to develop and expand through the increasing power of the Web. Based on internet connections, the systems control the lifecycle of a clothing product from the garment's inception to it sale. The systems can integrate CAD, PDM and other management and financial software, allowing everyone who has a role in the product to participate.
  The task of PLM systems is to take a style through the design development and approval stages, and once accepted, the next aim is to take it through the production process to sale, on budget and on time. The crucial steps are the following stages.
  The demand for new and varied styles has meant that there has to be collaboration between the participants in the product's lifecycle. PLM allows access to product-related real time information from anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection.
