Description
Summary:Sizing system is essential for apparel design and production. Accurate size of apparel is related to customer satisfaction and manufacturing. Several researches had been proposed to create sizing system. This study aims to develop a new sizing system for anthropometry data using novel data mining approach. This study employs metaheuristic-based clustering techniques to determine a new standard sizing system for apparel industry. Through measuring anthropometry of 912 objects (598 males and 304 females) aged between 18 and 25, this study proposes a sizing system for Indonesian adult with seven variables, hip width, arm length, waist width, bust width, back-waist length, back-rest width, and stature. There are two stages for the proposed method. The first stage employs principal component analysis (PCA) for feature extraction. Then, several metaheuristicbased techniques will be employed to find the best sizing system which fit to the population and hybridized with fuzzy c-means. The computational result indicated that five groups of size are feasible for the current data. In addition, based on the aggregate loss the proposed model has a good accuracy and the result can be used as a size recommendation to specify the right size for the customers.
