Abstract
The present study examines the sewing-weaving alliance to maintain domestic production.<br/> First, the study estimated to restructure existing statistics on the status of import penetration of clothing and textiles, followed by suggestion for statistics and a simple model “step-by-step acceleration,” leading to integration of overseas from international process division. Furthermore, it observes the case of the sewing-weaving alliance and reveals its development potential and challenges.<br/> The sewing process, as an assembly, and the weaving process, as making intermediate goods, did not link each other in the Japanese textile and apparel industry. Therefore, there was relocation overseas in the sewing process, and there was fragmentation in the sewing and the weaving. Thereafter, relocation overseas of the weaving process accelerated as the sewing process improved the overseas production, thus integration of production overseas was observed. Consequently, there was a “step-by-step acceleration” of overseas production.<br/> In such a situation, domestic production will be maintained for the benefits arising from the interaction between the weaving and the sewing process, thus transfer to overseas area will be suppressed. One of the initiatives that produce this interaction is the sewing-weaving alliance. It is the creation of high value added and a new value arising from the interaction between processes, leading to diversification of different elements, thereby expanding the domestic production maintenance and viability. On the other hand, there are challenges to the sewingweaving alliance, such as the lack of an established market, an immobilized product, the lack of know-how and networks.
