Quality and Operational Benchmarks for Modern Spinning Mills [140 pages, Rs. 450/- per copy, August, 2005 Release] Although India boasts of some very modern and good spinning mills, there is an information gap pertaining to quality and operational performance of the modern spinning mills. Therefore, BTRA undertook a project to study in detail about the working of the most modernised spinning mills in India. Based on the studies, BTRA has brought out two publications separately for modern cotton yarn spinning mills and modern blended yarn spinning mills, which are well received by the industry. As an offshoot to these publications, now BTRA is releasing another publication viz. ‘Quality and Operational Benchmarks for Modern Spinning Mills’ based on experience of BTRA staff and studies in the mills. It enumerates in detail about the benchmarks to be achieved regarding quality and operational performance of the modern spinning mills. Quality is built at every step in manufacturing and hence unlike the industry norms which gives one target to achieve in the final product, in this book, quality parameters to be achieved at every stage is spelt out in order to achieve the end product quality.

What this publication contains?
This publication consists of four sections. First two sections enumerate benchmarks for fibre quality, yarn quality, production parameters, manpower, HOK, wire life, inventory levels, engineering, etc. separately for cotton spinning mills and blended yarn spinning mills.

Last two sections give details of raw material quality to use and production/process parameters to adopt for a given machinery set-up [from blowroom to auto cone winding] in order to achieve a given yarn quality, covering combed cotton yarn as well as blended yarns.
