Implementation of the Six Sigma Methodology for Reducing Fabric Defects on the Knitting Production Floor: A Sustainable Approach for Knitting Industry

Reducing fabric faults in the textile knitting industry is one of main challenges for knit production. Due to defects, sigma level production between 3 3.5. This study aims increase productions. Here, we implement a six strategy industry. The Six Sigma methodology applied step by on floor. DMAIC approach clearly stated through phases defining, measurement, analysis, improvement and control. types reasons different defects are identified using cause effect diagram. Pareto chart showed that highest percentages (51%) related yarn quality. In phase, eliminated utilizing methodology. Then, our went 4. risk priority number was calculated suggestions preventive actions were analysed control phase. Implementing floor also reduces cost As result, this real time has proved be an economically sustainable fabric.
