Production flow chart

PRODUCTION FLOW CHART:

Merchandiser takes order from buyer


Merchandiser estimates total amount of yarn of production

Knitting manager gets production order sheet


Production officer ordered by K.M. and he orders technical in-charge.

Mechanical fitters fix up stitch length
 


Definite operator operates machine in his full conscious and attention

Mechanical fitters fix machine if there is any machine fault
 


Supervisors keep daily production report and assure m/c  is OK.

Fabric roll is checked by a group of inspectors in inspection unit and weighted.

Final product to the required amount is delivered to dyeing unit.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTION PROCESS:
                                       
               In every mill , there maintains a sequence in production processing.
It is also followed in this mill where I was in industrial attachment.The process sequences are in list below:
               1)Firstly, knitting manager gets a production sheet from merchandisers as accordance as consumer requirements.Then he informs  or orders production officer about it.
               2)Prodution officer informs technical in charge and knows about m/c in which the production will be running.
               3)Technical in charge calls for leader of mechanical fitter troops ;they two take decision about m/c for production considering m/c condition , production capacity, maintenance complexity etc.
               4)Production officer with experienced mechanical fitter adjusts required stitch length for required GSM.
               5)Supervisor check daily production regularity and make operators conscious about finishing in due time.
               6)Operators operate m/c in highly attention as if there were no faults in the fabrics.
               7)After required production and final inspection in 4-point system, they are sent in dyeing section.

PRODUCTION PARAMETERS:
Machine diameter;
Machine rpm(revolution per minute);
No. of feeders in use;
Machine gauge;
Count of yarn;
Required time(M/C running time);
Machine running efficiency.

PRODUCTION CALCULATION:

1.Production/shift in kg at 100% efficiency:
 
  RPM*No. of  Needle*SL(mm)*60*12
=                                                                           
    10*2.54*36*840*202046*Yarn count
          
        RPM*No. of  Needle*SL(mm)*60*12
=
                   3527.80* Yarn count

2.Production/shift in meter:

        Course/min
=
        Course/cm

    RPM*No. of Feeder*60*12*Effeciancy
=
                 Course/cm*100

Fabric width in meter:
        Total no. of wales
=
        Wales/cm*100
       Total no. of needles knitting
=
                 Wales/cm*100


                                                 Fleece machines working operations:

Production calculation:
As fleece fabric is constructed with 3 threads in 3 threads fleece we have to calculate production for each loop yarn. Calculations are as below mentioned.
For Base or knit yarn                                                                                     
Production/hr
    No. of needles x Feeder no. x rpm x Stitch length(mm) x 60
=
         10 x 2.54 x 36 x 840 x count(Ne) x 2.2045

           
            2162x108x17.3x3.8x60       
=
         10x2.54x36x840x30x2.2045 

=18.130Kg

For Binding or Tuck Loop yarn
Production/hr
          No. of needles x Feeder no. x rpm x Stitch length(mm) x 60
=
                10 x 2.54 x 36 x 840 x count(Ne) x 2.2045

              2162x108x17.3x3x60
=   
       10x2.54x36x840x30x2.2045

=14.313Kg

For Fleece or Loop yarn
Production/hr
                No. of needles x Feeder no. x rpm x Stitch length(mm) x 60
=
                        10 x 2.54 x 36 x 840 x count(Ne) x 2.2045

       2162x108x17.3x1.7x60
=
      10x2.54x36x840x16x2.2046

=15.208Kg
Total production/hr=(18.130+14.313+15.208)Kg
                              =47.651Kg


                                                 V-Bed machines working operations:
In this industry flat bed m/c is used. As collar & cuff is the essential part of a garment so the m/c used to manufacture this is also essential. In our MONDOL FABRICS LTD. Shima Seiki types of flat bed m/c is used.
Production Parameters:
At flat bed or V- bed knitting machine tubular & open width both type of knitting can be done. The count selection of tubular & openwidth are different. For tubular knitting 7-10 count is used. The counts used for open width fabric are given below-
 18                                                        28
         20                                                        30
         22                                                        32
         24                                                        34
         26                                                        40

Average length of collar is 39-45cm. At the top edge of collar i.e. at the topping edge mending is done. Mending is the process by which extra thread enters into the tube.
For making yarn consumption at flat knitting, allowance is taken into account. Total yarn required in kg = (calculated yarn wt.)*4%+1kg.

But in general no. of ply used for specific count are given below:
Count
No. of ply
18S
4
20S
3
22S
3
24S
4
26S
4
28S
4 or 5
30S
4 or 5
32S
5
34S

40S

          If ply increases, then production increases. Because in this time loop length will decrease & GSM will increase.

          At flat knitting cam setting and needle setting are very important. Here in both bed cam and needle are positioned, cam is positioned on the carriage. Here four types of cam are used.

         These are miss cam, guide cam,raising cam and knit cam. Carriage moves left to right or right to left direction ie. Horizontal direction. Here cam is fixed and no setting are required of cams for producing various design.  Cams movement, height,active and inactive positions are controlled by the programming at control panel. Needles are positioned on the track of front and back bed. Here low butt and high butt needles are used for making various design.
         For knitting tube , we have to determine no. of course required for that tube width. Mostly filament yarn is used here:
Tube width(cm)
No. of course
0.5
11
0.4
9
0.3
7
0.2
5
          The step portion contains rib design. Basically, after tube part, rib design is done. For step part of rib design of filament yarn, we have to determine number of course required for that step width.
Step width(cm)
No. of course
0.2
2
0.3
4
0.4
4
0.5
