Machine maintenance also plays an important role in the
efficiency of the machine. Proper lubrication and cleaning should be done
frequently. The preventive maintenance is advised for better performance of the
loom
Quality of the raw material also plays an important role.
When there is poor raw material, then the efficiency of the loom as well as the
quality of the fabric decreases.
Motivation is another major thing to be considered. If a
weaver is able to produce higher efficiency he should be encouraged by higher
percentage of wages or in some other way. At the same time if a weaver produces
lower efficiency the he should be punished by reducing the percentage of wage
or by some other way.
Conclusion
An attempt has been made to provide an understanding of
historical, technical and fundamental concepts relating to weaving and
appreciation of the purpose of the whole operation. The overall object is to
produce fabric of suitable quality at a cost which is acceptable. The industry
is highly competitive and it is far from easy to satisfy this apparently simple
objective. To do so, it is imperative that management of both man and machine
should be carefully studied in order that they may give of their best.
The efficiency is analysed by various parameters. This gives
a detailed idea of how the efficiency is dropped. While taking corrective
action from the results analysed, we can get a higher efficiency. A small
increase in efficiency will give higher productivity and profitability and that
has been obtained. From the results the various factors affecting the
efficiency is found and by concentrating in those areas the efficiency of the
loom shed is increased. In sort 1 the efficiency has increased about 0.6%, in
sort 2 it is about 2% and in sort 3 it is about 3.5%. This increase in
efficiency can be achieved with small effort but for further increase we have
to work hard.
