Original research SIZING EFFICIENCY AND COST REDUCTION STRATEGIES IN WOVEN FABRIC MANUFACTURING: A CASE STUDYPages 21-28 Abdullah Al Rakib Shikder, Rijon Saha, Tarikul Islam, Jabed Hossen Emon, Md. Humayun Kabir Khan Abstract
This study aims to optimize the cost of woven fabric production by investigating critical factors, with a specific focus on sizing and weaving efficiency. The study identifies an optimal sizing process to reduce costs while maintaining yarn properties. Two yarn counts, 45Ne(13Tex) and 30Ne(20Tex), were tested with four sizing baths, revealing that yarn sized from bath type-2 demonstrated superior results in hairiness reduction, tenacity, elongation, and weaving efficiency compared to other baths, despite using a lower amount of sizing material. The findings offer valuable insights for the industry to reconsider sizing material usage in weaving in better sizing with less amount of sizing material. ANOVA was employed to assess statistical variations within the dataset. The study's objective, methodology, and implications for the industry are discussed.
Keywords: Sizing, optimization, cost-effective, weaving efficiency, ANOVA analysis.
