Abstract: | This paper provides some preliminary evidence on the impact of flexible equipment on the clothing industry in Vancouver. It is argued that the implementation of these machines is limited to certain sectors of the industry and to specific sections of the labour process in clothing factories. In spite of the limited impact of these machines in Vancouver, the implications of flexible equipment in this manufacturing sector are far-reaching. Get article fournit des évidences préliminaires sur l'effet de l'outillage maniable sur la confection à Vancouver. L'on dit que la réalisation de ces machines est restreinte à certains secteurs de l'industrie et aux parties précises du processus du travail dans les usines de confection. Malgré l'effet restreintde ces machines à Vancouver, l'implication de l'outillage maniable dans la confection est d'une portée considérable. |
