台灣成衣業之專業人才的能力素養需求,隨著時尚成衣產業型態變遷而產生變化,當產業從委託代工(OEM)轉至設計加工(ODM)、甚至發展至自有品牌(OBM)時,產品設計人員之專業能力對公司的未來發展即產生重大影響性。本研究經由深度訪談與文件分析之個案研究方式,探索出嫁衣禮服設計公司所建立之時尚成衣設計專業人才的職能素養指標。它共有48個要項,可作為成衣業招募人員、教育界培養人才之參考依據,並分類為基礎職能指標與進階職能指標。同時也透過該公司文件分析產出,該公司對設計人員職能表現最為核心的需求,如個人創新能力特質、競爭市場品牌了解、服裝畫(表達傳遞設計細節)、布料了解等。
The demand for professional competencies has increased for Taiwan's fashion ready-to wear industry as this industry undergoes major changes from Oriented Equipment Manufacturing (OEM), to Oriented Design Manufacturing (ODM), and now, in some cases, to Oriented Brand Manufacturing (OBM). Therefore the professional competencies of a fashion product designer can significantly influence the future development and success of companies. This research will be carried out using in-depth interviews and data analysis from case studies to explore and establish professional competence indices for fashion ready-to-wear designers. These indices can be used as tools for staff recruitment and as guides for fashion training and education. Altogether, the indices have 48 important elements, and can be used both to assess basic performance competencies and as criteria for decisions about job promotions. Through an analysis of data available from Jasmine Enterprises Inc, the case study enables us to understand the extent of the competencies of ready-to-wear designers to meet the core demands of the company, such as individual creativity and innovation, understanding of market competition, ability to express fashion nuances in illustrations (as expressed in design), and understanding of clothing materials.
