Scope

This document describes the calculation of coverage ratios of body measurement tables in comparison with selected body dimensions of the targeted population.

This document is applicable to body measurement tables only if a data base of body dimensions of the targeted population is available.

Purpose

The optimization of measurement tables is the final objective of a garment company in order to increase its " market share " (this latter expression is used in marketing to name the "coverage ratio"). The "coverage ratio" is the ratio of the number of cases within the values of the measurement tables for selected body dimensions in comparison to the number of the total cases (i.e. the cases related to the targeted population).

Usually, numerous coverage ratios are calculated in an iterative way in order to optimize the table of measurements.
