Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today’s supply chain operations are experiencing a transition from an industrial age to an information age. The textile and clothing (T&C) sector is no exception to this. While the complexity of operations in the T&C sector has increased due to the increasing demand for faster lead times, reduced cycle times, customized products, tailored experiences, and an improvement in overall transparency and sustainability, following the technological advancements in collecting, storing, and transmitting data, the concerns associated with a lack of data have been replaced with the issue of too much data. As a result, the T&C sector has become a cornerstone for computational research, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, etc., that aims to harness the potential of data collection and large datasets in identifying the hidden patterns, trends, and correlations that are critical for market analysis, designing products, and tackling various manufacturing and supply chain challenges. In this context, the application of computational techniques is becoming prominent in a range of investigations, ranging from modelling, simulation and optimization in manufacturing and distributions to improving operating characteristics.
This Special Issue of Stats focuses on investigations regarding the applications of computational techniques that aim to leverage the power of (large) datasets to study or tackle various challenges in the T&C sector, ranging from design, manufacturing, and supply chain operations to market analysis, and beyond. We invite authors to contribute original research work to this peer-reviewed Special Issue of Stats.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Stats is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
