US-Egypt Cooperative Research: Manfacturing Cost Analysis, Evaluation and Reduction of Egyptian Garment Products Costs

这个奖项是为了支持博士的合作项目。南卡罗来纳州克莱姆森大学纺织系的克里斯汀·w·贾维斯和哈桑·m·贝赫里博士。开罗国家研究中心纺织系的Sami Mansour和埃及亚历山大大学工程学院的Moustafa El-Okiely。双方计划研究建立一个以科学和工程为基础的纺织品和服装成本核算系统的必要性，并根据埃及发展中国家生产和消费的具体情况，为建立这样一个系统奠定基础。范围：该奖项将允许埃及和美国科学家就一个对许多发展中国家非常重要的问题进行合作，这些国家的纺织行业是国民收入的主要贡献者，特别是外汇收入。这些纺织行业的生存在很大程度上取决于有效的运营和定价，这将为研发改进创造资源，以保持全球竞争力。贾维斯博士是克莱姆森大学（Clemson University）的克莱姆森服装研究（CAR）主任，该大学拥有广泛的最先进的服装制造设备和一些最好的可用硬件和软件，用于拟议的研究。NRC和亚历山大大学与埃及服装行业有着密切的合作关系。该提案符合INT的目标，即在有利于双方的领域增加美国与外国的合作。该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金项目的支持，该项目向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展这些合作活动。

9812427JarvisDescription: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Drs. Christine W. Jarvis and Hassan M. Behery of the Department of Textiles at Clemson University in South Carolina and Drs. Sami Mansour of the Textile Department at the National Research Center in Cairo, and Moustafa El-Okiely of the Faculty of Engineering at Alexandria University in Egypt. The two sides plan to study the need for a scientific and engineering-based system for costing of textiles and garments, and to develop the basis for such a system in Egypt with its specific developing world conditions of productions and consumption. Scope: This award will allow collaboration between Egyptian and US scientists on a problem of great importance to many developing countries where the textile segment of the industries is a major contributor to the national income and especially to the foreign currency earnings. The survival of these textile industries depends to a great extent on efficient operation and pricing that will generate resources for R & D improvements white maintaining global competitiveness. Dr. Jarvis is the Director of Clemson Apparel Research (CAR) at Clemson University, which has extensive state-of-the-art apparel manufacturing equipment and some of the best available hardware and software for the proposed study. The NRC and Alexandria University have strong collaboration with and access to the garment industry in Egypt. This proposal meets the INT objective of increasing US-foreign collaboration in areas that benefit both sides. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these cooperative activities.
