| Research Abstract |
In this study, I considered competitiveness of Japanese textile industry by researching technology accumulation and development in terms of division of labor between companies through hearing and questionnaire investigation to weaving textile companies in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, which is production region of synthetic long-fibered textile. As principal products has been changed from silk or artificial silk textile to synthetic fiber textile, textile weaving companies in Fukui have established manufacturing technologies working together cooperatively with fiber manufacturing companies or textile machinery companies. As textile machinery has been automated and computerized, it has taken in textile manufacturing technologies. And they were flown out through machinery. After that, fiber manufacturing companies has been developing other products than synthetic fibers, taking advantage of organic chemistry technologies cultivated by developing them. Meanwhile, textile weaving companies in Fukui come to play a function of developing textile. They develop products such as sportswear and industrial materials by leveraging textile developing technologies. Even smaller companies have unique technologies, but many of them depend on skills of workers.. Now, both employees and workers are aging, but and successors are few. So these skills and technologies are being lost. Moreover, they can't replace facilities or get pars of them, because textile machinery companies are discontinuing production.
