In Knitting, Fabric waste significantly impacts profitability and sustainability. Today, we’ll dive deep into Loss 1—fabric waste loss—and explore how you can set up a system to measure and reduce it effectively.
Waste Loss Formula:
The simplest way to calculate waste loss is:
Input (yarn) – Output (fabric sold + claims) = Waste
But what exactly makes up this waste? Let’s break it down:
Defective Fabric: Fabric that doesn’t meet quality standards.
Yarn Wastage: Yarn lost during production.
Humidity Loss: Fabric weight changes due to humidity.
Fluff & Running Loss: Yarn lost as fluff or during machine runs.
Fabric Setting Time Loss: Time spent setting up machines for various fabric types.
Excess Yarn Purchased: Unused yarn due to inefficient planning.
Unsold Fabric: Fabric that remains unsold, reducing overall output.
Pro Tip: Sometimes people add water to fabric to increase weight for calculation purpose.
