Garment costing

Current research at The University of Tennessee In protective apparel for pesticide applicators has Investigated decontamination, penetration and user preference for protective apparel. The decontamination studies found pesticides behaved similarly to soil removal, with oily based soils being more difficult to remove from synthetic fabrics and particulate soil being more difficult to remove from woven natural fabrics. Initial studies on the effect of fabric finishes on pesticide penetration found a fluorocarbon finish was most effective. There was, however, an Increase in penetration with Increased launderings of the finished fabric. In a survey of user preference of available garments, cost was the predominant factor affecting choice, ranking above either safety or comfort. 

As scheduled in the PD calendar, material requirement planning will follow the production plan, where the fabrics will be ordered along with the orders for the other trims and components for the styles. The garment costs will be finalized and finances are cleared to move forward with producing the line. 

Suspect sampling time is in the region of 30 to 40 minutes, and the removal and packaging of the suspect s outer garments take a further 5 minutes. The kits are more costly and time-consuming to prepare than the equivalent previous kits, but as two new kits replace four previous kits, the overall cost and preparation time are less. None of the components of either kit is reused. 

The search for a simple, reliable, fast, inexpensive, and conclusive test for FDR has yet to be realized. There is no doubt that the particles analysis method is the most desirable and informative method to date, but it is more suited to a moderate FDR caseload. In Northern Ireland we had a heavy FDR caseload and multisuspect cases were common. In one incident we had 38 suspects, with three or four upper outer garments each, to be examined. For a heavy FDR caseload the fast, inexpensive FAAS bulk elemental system is attractive, particularly considering the downgrading of the uniqueness of the particles detected coupled with the lengthy and costly procedures of the particle analysis method. The properties of FDR plus the lengthy and costly procedures of the particle analysis method, the limitations of a positive result... 

The supplement to the building application for the construction of a disinfestation installation as Building XII in the fur and garment workshops in Lublin for the sum of 70,000 RM (Reichsmark), with a request for approval and preparation of the means and raw material quotas is hereby enclosed in annex according to the scale of the order of 27 June 1942. The Polish entrepreneurial prices will be determined during the cost estimate. 17...
