23. Conclusion:
From the above study, it is clear that the reason of shortfall of product is only due to shortage of Textile Technologists/Engineers. We have seen that there is about 40% shortage of Textile Technologists/Engineers at different levels. It is possible to achieve 100% target production and also quality by recruiting Textile Technologists/Engineers. So it is essential to appoint Textile Technologists/Engineers at different levels in all the textile mills within short time to face the challenge of 21st century.

Most common Textile Inspection System

Piece goods inspection system:

In 1955 ten points piece goods evaluation was approved by the textile distribution & national federation of textiles. This system assigns penalty points to each defect.

Ten points system:- Filling defects penalty
Warp defects                 Penalty                       Full width                    10 points

10-30 ̎                          10 points                   5 ̎ ½ the width:                    5 ″

5-10 ̎                                 5 ″                                1-5 ̎ :-                        3 ″

1-5 ̎                                   3 ″                           up to 1 ̎ :-                        1 ″

Up to 1 ̎ 1 ″

Under the ten point system, a piece is graded a fixed if the total penalty point do not exceed the total yardage of the piece. A piece is graded a ‘second” if the total penalty points exceed the total yardage of the piece.

Four points system:

It is widely used in textiles. It is simple & easy to under stand. Inspection is done about 10% of the product in the shipment. This system has been applied by AAMA (American Apparel manufacturing association).

The four points system classifies classified defects as follow:

Size of defects                                             Penalty

3 ̎ or less                                                     1 point

Over 3 ̎not over 6 ̎                                       2 ″

Over 6 ̎but not over 9 ̎                                 3 ″

Over 9 ̎                                                       4 ″

A maximum 4 points is changed for one leniaroooo yard
