1 – Textile-Clothing chain is complex and heterogeneous (structural presence of SMEs)

2 – Disappointing adoption of the results of the EDIFACT/ EDITEX results

3 – But critical timeliness and flexibility of the supply chain: semantic interoperability is needed

Before there was TEXSPIN• TEXSPIN CEN/ISSS Workshop (2002-2003) was a sectorial standardisation

initiative aiming to provide a standard framework for the integration of the European Textile/Clothing/Distribution chain

• The starting point were the legacy of EDITEX and • eTeXML (focused in France on link manufacturing - retailing)• MODA-ML (focused in Italy on manufacturing integration)

• The Technological objective was to establish a pre-normative -low cost but scalable- platform for the B2B exchanges in the T/C sector based on XML and Internet technologies

• Results (CWA14948/2003)• (Suggested) Business models for fabric and clothing supplying• 19 Formats for document exchange (XML templates: order of fabric or garment,

despatch advise, quality report, advancement status, …etc)• A common dictionary• 200 Firms were directly contacted or participated to the meetings; • Some articles on specialised magazines and newspapers

• Further Work to be carried out: – Spread adoption, increase support to further business processes, face problems arising from

cross-border and cross sectorial transactions,…

Texweave, objectives

• CEN/ISSS workshop proposed by Euratex• 18 months, 9 experts+dissemination (292000 € budget)

• Objectives (from draft BP)– Methodological improvements and standardization supports– Extension of the supply chain coverage – Fostering Pilot experiences and build a Web Platform (for

documentation and awareness support, not operational) – Analysis on Cross sectorial eBusiness and standardization

scenarios – Awareness creation and Dissemination on standards and

interoperability

WP 1: Methodological improvements and standardization supports

• Task 1.1 - Analysis of the different scenario at national level in some countries in Europe with relevant T/C industry

• Task 1.2 - Definition of a common logical infrastructure of the dictionary and of the repository of business scenarios

• Task 1.3 - Development of a Web based infrastructure for the dictionary and for the repository of business scenarios

• Task 1.4 - Filling of the sectorial dictionary of terms (Filling of the repositories)

• Task 1.5 - Feasibility of the submission of sectorial Core Components to UN/CEFACT

WP 2: Extension of the supply chain coverage

• Task 2.1 - Intercompany workflows in the fabric manufacturing focused on yarn supplying and dieing– Subtask 2.1.1- Analysis and design for manufacturing chain

integration– Subtask 2.1.2- Improvement of the interoperability framework

• Task 2.2 - Improved services to the customers and better integration with retailing organizations – Subtask 2.2.1 – Analysis and design for retail organizations

integration– Subtask 2.2.2 - Improvement of downstream XML messages

WP 4: Cross sectorial eBusiness and standardization scenarios

• Task 4.1 - Analysis of Existing Business Processes

• Task 4.2 - Re-design of Business Processes According to TCSIP (Textile Cross Sectorial Interface Profile)

• Task 4.3 - Feasibility Study According to TCSIP

• Task 4.4 - Demonstration and Creation of Acceptance

WP 5: Awareness creation and dissemination on standards and

interoperability

• Task 5.1 – EU Level Conferences

• Task 5.2 – National Workshops and Awareness creations

• Task 5.3 – Online services and other publications • Help desk, web site, local training workshops, newsletter

Highlights

• Vertical specifications – Extremely focused on processes– Ready-to-use templates– Strong data typing– Use of predefined codes as much as possible

• Innovative processes and services

• Different requirements upside/downside the Supply Chain

• Same framework for SMEs as well as large companies

Expected TexWeave CWAs

• CWA1 “Scenarios and XML Templates for B2B in T/C Manufacturing and retail”

• CWA2 “Sector dictionary of reusable information entities”

• CWA3 “Cross-sector interchange scenarios of the T/C industry”

• CWA4 “Deployment and compliance assessment methodologies”
