...Studio Learning Task 1 – What is Design? Q1. What was the industrial revolution? When did it occur? How did industrialisation lead to the creation of the design profession? How was industrial manufacturing different from the traditional way of making a product and what role did the designer play in creating new products? The industrial revolution, which began in England around the 19th century, was the transition of a once rural and agricultural society into one in which new manufacturing processes were introduced. Industrialisation gave way to more jobs, and with products beginning to be produced in factories or with more advanced equipment, it meant that the product design and the actual production were no longer done by the same person. Q2. Explain what series and mass production means. What other factors over time have contributed to the high turnover and international sales of manufactured products? Mass production, or otherwise known as series production, is the manufacturing of a product in bulk. Mass production reduces wasted resources and shortens the amount of time needed to produce the product as it generally utilizes an assembly line. Q3 Using your own words, explain the meaning of the term “form follows function” and its significance. The supporters of Modernist design and functionalism assumed two things about form follows function. What were they? What do you understand by the meaning of each of these? Explain in your own words. Form follows function...

...OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AT SQUARE FASHION LTD 1.0 INTRODUCTION Operations Management (OM) is defined as the design, operation and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm’s primary products and services. A business education is incomplete without an understanding of modern approaches to managing operations. Operations management provides a systematic way of looking at organizational processes. The concepts and tools of OM are widely used in managing other functions of a business. The employees must know how operations work effectively to perform their jobs. The best way one can have a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of Operations Management is to study a business process involving the production of goods and nothing can serve the purpose better than analysing the production of garments. With that end in view, the group studied the OM of one of the leading export-oriented garments of Bangladesh, the Square Fashions Limited (SFL). SFL is one of the leading export-oriented garments in Bangladesh. The company has earned a high reputation for its quality of products among foreign buyers, mostly the European countries.

...conflict between the creative technical employees (creators) and the businessmen (stewards) is increasingly hindering from the business development. Like Shanghai Tang, the conflicts are usually found between its designers (creators) and its management (stewards). As an international clothing chain company, its product design is one of the key successful factors in its competitive industry. In order to build-up a unique fashion style, Shanghai Tang develops two key components which its products are contained: Chinese-ness and the use of bright colors, and so-called “Shanghai Tang DNA”. However, its designers blamed that this Shanghai Tang DNA constrained their creativity in various areas, including the brand consideration, sales considerations and production cost consideration, etc. Positioning is no doubt a critical business strategy. However, the creators argued that their designs always have to be Chinese-oriented and European influence is hardly accepted in the final design approved by the management. The creators think that the Shanghai DNA hinders their own creative ideas and inspirations and hardly accept their creative design which is out of the management mind to maintain the brand image. Shanghai Tang will avoid certain types of fabrics, colors and designs based on the historical sales performance. The creators argue that the sales figures from similar previous designs represented the past but did not predict the future in fashion sense, and the products...
