Development of corporate clothing can be regarded as a complex group decision-making problem with set of criteria, alternatives, and group of decision-makers with possibly conflicting views. We address this problem by applying a system engineering approach and combination of group decision support and multiple criteria decision modelling. In practise we often see that different criteria of development process of uniforms are not precisely determined and considered by all aspects, which can affect the end user. Development of uniforms include some very important criteria such as quality, functionality, communication power of clothing, suppliers and economic aspects, and many other sub-criteria. By using multi-criteria decision-making methods we can consider different aspects and make the process of development of corporate clothing and uniforms comprehensive and complete. These methods provide an important feedback information to the end-user as well as an expert knowledge gained from experts during the group decision-making, supported by a GSS system. We present the development of an AHP decision model using group support system Think Tank to elicit expert knowledge in the form of criteria and their importance. The result of this process is a hierarchical decision model, which provides a basis for alternatives evaluation. We showed that by application of the system engineering methods we can efficiently support stakeholders in the decision-making process.

COBISS.SI-ID: 19730710Mentoring foreign PhD student during the 3-month implementation of individual scientific work - SGC Project 2016 "Identification of the mechanical properties of fabrics with elastane and pressure distribution according to the method developed design" at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor. The survey results are summarized in two contributions, namely: “Identification of mechanical properties of stretch fabrics and pressure distribution and connection with a development method of pattern construction” (N. Jariyapunya, J. Geršak, B. Musilová S. Boob) and “Designing And Patternmaking With Stretch Fabrics” (N. Jariyapunya B. Musilová, J. Geršak, S. Boob). The results of active research work, that constitute the significant original contribution to knowledge on the research field of study on identification of mechanical properties of stretch fabrics and pressure distribution, are summarized in the so-called Assessment Report for the SGC Project 2016 for Ph.D. student Nareerut Jariyapunya, which I prepared at the invitation the dean of Faculty of Textile Engineering Technical University of Liberec (I was nominated as opponent for a project in Students competition grant 2016 for our Ph.D. student Nareerut Jariyapunya).
D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 19908630The International CEEPUS Winter School Design Week 2016 took place from 16. 10. 2016 to 22. 10. 2016 at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor. It was organised by the Research and Inno¬vation Centre for Design and Clothing Science. Solutions was the motivation that connected this year’s participants. Winter School Design Week 2016 brought together scientific and artistic disciplines and connected the creativity of students from different universities and countries. Winter School participants developed through interdisciplinary designed creative Workshops (Light-Dark, Fashion in the light of technology, The play of the light, 3D modelling tools helping the clothing design process, Portfolio, Photography – painting with light, Transparency, Study of white matter’s transparency in the case of small white dresses) a collective philosophy of ideas, as a key element in the search for new solutions. The CEEPUS Winter School was attended by 81 participants, 40 foreign students from 9 different universities from 6 countries (Croatia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania), 25 students from the Department of Textile Materials and Design, 6 students from the Department of Engineering Design at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Maribor, as well as 10 students from secondary schools. Realization of the International Winter School involved renowned foreign and domestic experts, including: Prof. Anu Kylmanen and Prof. Päivi Rautajoki from the Faculty of Art and Design University of Lapland, Finland, Prof. Karin Košak from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Assoc. Prof. Andrea Pavetić from the Faculty of Textile Technology, University of Zagreb, Croatia, Assoc. Prof. Maria Fulkova and Jaroslava Frajova from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia, Mag. Kiki Klimt from Ljubljana, Dr. Sc. Željko Knezić and Petra Krpan, MA from the Faculty of Textile Technology, University of Zagreb, Croatia, and others. As an important achievement of the 5th International CEEPUS Winter School we can highlight, from many new ideas and solutions, the prototype of an intelligent fest dress with built-in lighting effects. The garment is a reflection of the co-harmony of fashion and technology, that fits into the garment integrated miniaturized electronic components that allow specific functional effects, based on the development of their own applications. The 5th International CEEPUS Winter School was marked by a specific, extremely rich structure of participants. From an educational aspect, the event involved students of different undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, as well as students of postgraduate doctoral studies. For the first time, the CEEPUS Winter School also attended actively by students and their attendants from secondary schools.
