I think that having the students share key words with the group and then discussing the importance of the word was a strong point of the lesson. As well as the overall involvement of the students. A lot of the students want to share their ideas and this was a good way to help them understand what key words are and why it's a key word.
I also thought that innovation was a great term to introduce in the warm-up because during the industrial revolution era factories and machines were innovations.
The learning objectives for this lesson were,
1. I can define the term innovation and list innovations that are relevant in my life by completing my journal.
2. I can summarize the historical importance of the Triangle Garment Factory and the development
Alongside the entrepreneur spirit, Innovation is the process of taking new ideas and implementing them into the market. Key word being “new”, an innovation can be sometimes viewed as the application to better solutions that meet new demand-requirements, inarticulated needs or existing market needs. Innovative ideas range from: goods, services, products, processes, services, technologies or ideas that create value for which customers will pay for. For an idea to be an innovation, it must be replicable at an economical cost and must satisfy a specific need. This means is that one must be ready and willing put their new idea to the test. On the other hand, there is recognition that “innovation is also critical to cultural, environmental, social, and artistic progress as well” (Bullinger, 2006). With this stated, high-tech innovation is ultimately the reason why we can be thankful for the many new conveniences of the 21st century. Although we might see the forefront of innovation being very prominent in today’s world, innovation is truly nothing new. From the start of modern man times, innovative ideas have paved the way for civilization to advance and develop into what we are today and at the same time, we have barely begin to chip away at the tip of the iceberg of our true human potential. Some scholars believe that innovation is a
I gathered student written inventories and held personal interviews and conversations with students and their families in order to help my students grow and mature in their vocabulary usage. This information told me they value who they are and what motivates them so I could design innovative practices and utilize proven methods of vocabulary instruction that promote learning for all my students.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris. These factories specialized in making women’s blouses. Women that worked there were mainly European and Jewish immigrants that were trying to make some money. Since they made that decision they were faced with poverty and horrible working conditions. The immigrants also had to suffer through a new language and that made them an easy target for people
Societal/ Economical/ Political issues The Triangle Shirtwaist had an enormous impact on society. Most employees working at this factory were young immigrant girls who did not receive proper working conditions. When the incident occurred, news eventually spread throughout the immigrant community causing an uproar. The uproar would soon push issues of unsafe factories and immigrant exploitation into the public minds for a while.
For 6 days a week, many people women as young as 10 years old, poured out into the streets ready to head into work to the Triangle Shirtwaist factory. The American dream depended on their willingness to work and they worked for 14 hours for at most $2. In these many hours of labor, they worked in horrible conditions, not allowed to stop, not even a drink or a bathroom break. They were also expected to make no mistakes and if got hurt, needed to keep working no matter what. At the end of the day, they were expected to do one more thing, letting the operators check their purse so that no shirts were stolen.
After March 25th, 1911, the workplace would never remain the same again. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, often referred to as the fire that changed America, was one of the most impactful events of the early 1900s and soon helped set motion into the era of labor reforms. On March 25th, 1911, The Triangle Shirtwaist factory, owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris was engulfed in flames. The factory was located in the top 3 floors of the Asch building in Manhattan, New York. The terrific turn of events left firemen unable to rescue those inside.
The technological progress had made changes in several areas starting to produce new type of machinery, meantime developing new methods of producing textile, source of energy, even to transmit messages on a long distances.
As I am working on artists who undergoes and get inspirations from World War, it might be really interesting for me to look at what women wear and how clothing industries develop during that period of time. The first thing that comes to my mind is some really dirty and baggy work clothes because many of the women were recruited into different jobs as men were sent to fight in the war. To find out more, I grab a book from the library as my primary research source, it is the "Wartime Fashion" by Geraldine Howell, and is totally different to what I thought. In the chapter 'Keep smiling through: good health and natural beauty', the British cosmetics firm Yardley had encouraged women to 'put your best face forward', promoting a natural look for
4. How can Sergei and Olga begin producing fashionable women’s cashmere coats in their factory? Is this feasible or should they give up the dream? Propose an action plan to move their business in this direction.
Garment and textile industry is very important in the human life. The employment created by this industry accounts for
In general, I feel that this lesson was generally successful. The students, for the most part were engaged and thinking about the North East region. During the previous lesson, we discussed that the regions were divided by climate, culture, geography and economy and the students were able to apply those concepts to the lesson. Because they are familiar with this region, because it is our home region, they were able to compare and analyze aspects of this region to the other regions. They determined the climate, culture, economy and geography of this region by activating prior knowledge and sharing what they knew about the
Describe the problem your innovation targets. What is the scope of the problem and which stakeholders, both within the organization and without, does it impact?
The quality of the manufactured apparel, which has been increasingly recognized by our international buyers and end users all over the world.
The study was carried out on the production facility of a T-shirt based garment industry in India. The current system used by the garment industry is Progressive bundling system (PBS). However, the PBS system leads to bulks of work-in-process (WIP) because each PBS system is being setup for each exclusive product. High amount of WIP causes high throughout time as well as the rework time which will also makes the line balancing different with a lot of hidden defects in the products. Besides that, the factory manufactures the t-shirt in small order size with a lot of styles. Thus, the production must hold minimum WIP between processes so that it can adapt to the changes of order quickly with minimum setting time. By using the current PBS system, such flexibility could not be achieved. Among all the departments, sewing department having the highest amount of WIP. The main problem encountered by the sewing room is high production lead time. It takes 2 days for the first piece to be delivered from the supply chain.
Bangladesh’s businesses people have channeled their energy in ready-made garments (RMG) industry for export purposes. The ready-made garments industry facilitates 80% of the country’s exports and further provides over 4 million employment opportunities, with three-quarters being women (Anisul Huq, Stevenson, & Zorzini, 2014). The growth in this sector has consequently promoted numerous multiplier connections such as the cloth, insurance, professional services, yarn, banking, real estate and machinery economic sectors. The industry has also faced devastating challenges, and some of them are man-made industrial accidents. The past progress will be in vain if Bangladesh cannot make progress to ensure workers’ protection by fostering
