 Produktiviteitsverhoging op grote schaal: Maatnormalisatie van kledingJ. Sittig Statistica Neerlandica, 1959, vol. 13, issue 2, 155-169 Abstract: The article contains a short review of a campaign, undertaken in Holland during the last 12 years to arrive at standardized sizes for women's and men's clothing. The first campaign was undertaken by a department store, the second one by the clothing industry. The operational value of a sizing system depends on the value of three parameters which are not, of course, independent of each other: coverage of the system, number of sizes and average cost of alterations. The basis of the standardization is furnished by measuring a sample of the population of customers and by measuring the fitting‐tolerances of clothing. The proposed sizing systems are: a. Ladies' dresses — a two‐dimensional system based on waist girth and length of back, containing 14 sizes and giving a coverage of 90%. b. Men's suits — a system with a variable number of dimensions (2 to 4). The identification dimensions are waist girth, length of leg, hip girth and inclination of shoulder. The proposed system gives a coverage of 90% with 34 sizes. Both systems have been experimentally verified. Stress is laid on the necessity of an international sizing standardization.
