| Are you experiencing DEFECTS IN YOUR FABRIC QUALITY resulting from drop stitches, runs,
holes, oil spots, etc., and if so, how/what is this costing you IN TERMS OF:
|
| a) Wasted yarn, wasted time and materials of dyeing/finishing defective fabric, return of
defective knits and decreased customer satisfaction of fabric quality?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| b) Added labor and time of having to increase visual inspections?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| c) Added strain on knitting machines and stress on the plant floor environment
(employees-knitters, operators, inspectors, managers, upper management)?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| |
| Are you experiencing SCHEDULING
PROBLEMS due to production disruptions/downtime from
machine failures, defective knitting, operator errors,
safety issues, etc., and how has this effected your
ability to deliver product on-time?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| |
| Do you have ACCESS to
quality and production status reports on your plants from ANYWHERE
ON THE GLOBE, and the ability to drill down into the
details on reported company data?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| |
| Are your knitting machines AUTOMATICALLY
CONTROLLED for air blowers and oil flushes/oilers?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| |
| How much production time is
lost due to delays in DIAGNOSING EQUIPMENT FAILURE, and
further delays to get the proper tools and parts on-site?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| |
| Do you find your current
maintenance staff spending more time on FIXING
BREAKDOWNS than on preventative maintenance?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| |
| Do you have a means to RECORD TYPES AND
NUMBER OF DEFECTS per hr/day/wk/yr so that quality can be monitored and recorded?
Please explain below:
|
|
|
| |
| YARN MONITORING |
| a) Describe your yarn rate monitoring systems in place. Do they control MAXIMIZATION OF MACHINE
SPEED AND YARDAGE PER POUND OF YARN, yarn breakage, reduce yield variations due to belt stretch, and provide reductions in lint and
yarn build up on wheels and eliminate periodic yarn rate frequency checks?
If not, please explain and further add how this might help your company:
|
|
|
| b) Do you monitor YARN STOPS, understanding that elimination of bottom stops
would lead to REDUCTION IN PRESS OFFS (major contributor to downtime), and knowledge of top stops would allow you to
REQUEST BETTER YARN QUALITY FROM YOUR SUPPLIERS?
If not, please explain and further add how this might help your company:
|
|
|
| |
| Does your HOSIERY MONITORING SYSTEM provide total piece and defective
piece production recording, work shift data recording and storage, while allowing management to visualize detailed reports
of machinery and operator efficiencies?
If not, please explain and further add how this might help your company:
|
|
|
| |
| Is your knitting mill and staff protected in the event of a MACHINE SWITCH FAILURE during
doffing and/or mechanical inspections and repairs?
If not, please explain and further add how this might help your company:
|
|
|
| |
| Do you have a means to COUNT THREADS PER INCH OF FABRIC (greige, finished,
and completed garments) to increase fabric quality, reduce design time, and eliminate time consuming and inaccurate manual
counting?
If not, please explain and further add how this might help your company:
