INESCOP Footwear Technological Institute Use of advanced tools for multilocalized design and manufacturing in the footwear industry Dr. Enrique Montiel Industry of Design-Based Products: Creating Value through Customization
What is INESCOP? • Independent service organisation. • Founded in 1971. • Non-profit making institution. • More than 500 associated companies.
Technology Centre INESCOP works as a Technology Centre that supports footwear industries to develop scientific and technical activities that cannot be undertaken by themselves. INESCOP owns 20 patents on different systems, most of them transferred to the industry for exploitation. INESCOP has participated in over 90 EU projects since 1986.
INESCOP’s services • Testing services, quality control. • Technology development. • Applied research. • Industrial and fashion design. • Environment. • Training. • Information.
Close to the factories Network of laboratories: 6 technical units and 1 affiliated centre
246 Billion Euros 1 The world footwear sector Value of the world footwear market: 1All data obtained from World Footwear Yearbook 2011
The worldfootwear sector In 2010 for the first time ever World footwear production exceeded: 20 Billion Pairs
The worldfootwear sector Manufacture is heavily concentrated in Asia: they produce 87% of all the pairs of shoes produced worldwide European Countriesproduce only 4% of world footwear pairs
The Europeanfootwear sector • 20% of world shoe consumption • destination of 45% of world imports Europe: Europe exportsonly11% of world total footwear
Share of all footwear exported in the world 23% The Europeanfootwear sector 9European countries are in the top15 world footwear exporters • Spain • Italy • Portugal
The Spanish footwear sector The Valencian Region is the hub of the Spanish footwear industry, although it is also present in areas such as Castilla La Mancha and La Rioja.
5.9€ 40.2€ Imported Exported The Spanish footwear sector In 2011, Spain exported to China footwear with an average value of 46.43€ Footwear average value
The Spanish footwear sector The Spanish industry has been able to increase its exports to the most important European markets, but lost some share in USA.
The Spanish footwear sector Imports grew rapidly, both from China and from European markets such as Italy and France.
The Spanish footwear sector Footwear exports concentrate in leather shoes, while imports concentrate in cheap rubber & plastic ones.
The product problem Life-cycle 10 y. 0.5 y. Price 80€ 12,000€ Short life cycle + low price ( + extremely short series: customisation)
The time-to-market problem Typicaldesign, manufacture and commercialisation cycle …but there areother cycles
The time-to-market problem One season/yeardesign, manufacture and commercialisation cycle e.g.Kelme (sports footwear)
The time-to-market problem Continuousdesign, manufacture and commercialisation cycle e.g.Tempe (Zara)
Lasts Prototypes Soles Manufacturing Heels The communication problem Headquarters Design Prototypes Lasts Heels Soles Manufacturing Distribution
Possible solutions • Flexibility • Speed • Accuracy • Integration: • Marketing support: at the design stage at the manufacturing stage seamless communication of teams new means

Case 5: Duna Problem: to allow the integration of customised footwear manufacture in an industrial line of serial production.
New Products Lines All products must be developed according to the European laws for medical devices Specific solutions to integrate different technologies in the production processes Small production lot till the single pair or shoe with specific technical solution against production industrial machines generally studied for simply workout and lots with high volume. The large range of technical info on the products to be transferred to end-users, customers and medical world require appropriate communication systems. New communication systems Special R&D Programs DUNA is official partner of “SSHOES - Special Shoes Movement” European Project Grant agreement no.: NMP-2008-SME-2-R.229261 Case 5: Duna Thetechnology innovationin DUNA
