Research on Developing a Production Preparation Model Applying Industry 4.0 Technology Platform in Garment Enterprises

The study was conducted to develop a smart production preparation model for industrial garment enterprises. In this research, a questionnaire survey and interviews were used to collect data from 100 garment enterprises in Vietnam. The survey aimed to assess the current status of applying Industry 4.0 achievements and technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), artificial intelligence (AI), and 3D technology in various production preparation stages (including material and accessory preparation, sample development, and preparation of technical and technological documentation). Based on the findings, a smart production preparation model is proposed, incorporating the full application of these technologies and analyzing the interrelationships among the model’s components. The results also reveal several challenges and the feasibility of applying these technologies in different parts of the smart production preparation model for Vietnamese garment enterprises. The study also provides several recommendations to support the effective implementation of this model, directed at both the government and enterprises.
