  • Operations management tools to be applied for textile
    IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
    Co-Authors: A Maralcan, İlhami Ilhan
    Abstract:

    In this paper, basic concepts of process analysis such as flow time, inventory, bottleneck, labour cost and utilization are illustrated first. The effect of bottleneck on the results of a business are especially emphasized. In the next section, tools on productivity measurement; KPI (Key Performance Indicators) Tree, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and Takt Time are introduced and exemplified. KPI tree is a diagram on which we can visualize all the variables of an operation which are driving financial results through cost and profit. OEE is a tool to measure a potential extra capacity of an equipment or an employee. Takt time is a tool to determine the process flow rate according to the customer demand. KPI tree is studied through the whole process while OEE is exemplified for a Stenter Frame machine which is the most important machine (and usually the bottleneck) and the most expensive investment in a finishing plant. Takt time is exemplified for the quality control department. Finally quality tools, six sigma, control charts and jidoka are introduced. Six sigma is a tool to measure process capability and by the way probability of a defect. Control chart is a powerful tool to monitor the process. The idea of jidoka (detect, stop and alert) is about alerting the people that there is a problem in the process.

  • Application of Control Banding to Workplace Exposure to Nanomaterials in the Textile Industry
    Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health, 2019
    Co-Authors: Delfina Ramos, Luis Almeida, Marco Gomes
    Abstract:

    Nanomaterials are now present in many consumer products, including textiles. They offer new technical and commercial opportunities but may pose risks to the consumers and to the environment and raise occupational health and safety concerns. The control banding approach for occupational risk management applied to engineered nanomaterials, according to ISO/TS 12901-2:2014, is a pragmatic approach useful for the control of workplace exposure to possibly hazardous agents with unknown or uncertain toxicological properties and for which quantitative exposure estimations are lacking. Nanomaterials are now often applied to textiles by means of textile finishing; in the present paper, a case study is presented in a finishing company involving two chemical finishes involving nanomaterials: mosquito repellency and antibacterial finish. The risk analysis concerned mainly four workers involved either in the preparation of the finishing baths and on the conducting of the Stenter Frame. Following the application of control banding method, measures to mitigate risks have been envisaged: appropriate ventilation and use of adequate personal protective equipment. Hazards related to one of the chemicals are higher and require also the use of a closed booth and a smoke extractor. The safety data sheets are the first source of information on how to handle and care for a particular product containing nanomaterials, but the information provided is still non-existent or very limited, in terms of the specific hazards and risks of nanomaterials.
