Model development for garment design assessing using DEMATEL

Abstract

Abstract Various models for evaluating the best garment design have been developed, however most of them disregard interdependence among their elements. This study aims to develop comprehensive model that consist of intrinsic and extrinsic elements for assessing garment design schemes, and take into consideration of interrelation between its elements. The Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) was utilized for analysing a relationship between the key components for assessing garment design. The research constructed the garment design evaluation framework that consider intrinsic and extrinsic elements and interdependence elements. The model can be used as a framework for evaluating garment design with some various advantages: considering interrelations between components and influences between elements.
