Title: Minimization of inspection cost by determining the optimal number of quality inspectors in the garment industry Authors: Ramzan, Muhammad Babar; Kang, Chang Wook Abstract: This study has been aimed at developing a model to reduce inspection cost by determining the optimum number of quality inspectors with respect to their skill levels using goal programming. A mathematical model is proposed to find out the optimal combination of decision variables. It is concluded that inspection cost may be reduced by optimising the skill level of the quality inspectors. Page(s): 346-350

Title: A novel and low-cost instrument for color identification of natural fibres Authors: Roy, Gautam; Saha, S C Abstract: A new instrument has been developed to find out the color of natural fibres like jute and mesta using the light reflectance method and electronic light sensors. The system has been used to measure the color range of natural fibres very effectively and is also found very economical. Page(s): 344-345

Title: Fabric pilling– Objective measurement system Authors: Mayekar, Vijay M; Nachane, R P Abstract: An objective method of measuring pilling profile of fabric has been proposed using an inexpensive newly developed instrumentation. This measurement has been validated by direct measurement of pills using stereo microscope, as suggested by correlation analysis carried out between two sets of data. Results indicate that the objective assessment of pilled fabric could reliably be done by this machine, which can support subjective assessment done by the experts in grading of fabric.

Title: Effect of immobilized cellulase enzyme treatment on properties of ramie fabric Authors: Ni, Xiaoyan; Yu, Yuanyuan; Wang, Qiang; Fan, Xuerong; Cavaco-Paulo, Artur; Yuan, Jiugang Abstract: In this study, Eudragit S-100 has been covalently bound to the cellulase enzyme to form immobilized cellulase enzyme and then the effect of the treatment on ramie fabric properties is studied. The ramie fabrics treated with immobilized cellulase enzyme show lower quantities of reducing sugar, weight loss, and higher tensile strength than native cellulase enzyme-treated fabrics. Scanning electron microscopic analysis shows that the surface of ramie fabrics treated with cellulase enzyme is smoother than that of the untreated sample. Furthermore, treatment by the immobilized cellulase enzyme is less damaging to the fibres. X-ray diffraction studies show that there is hardly any loss in the crystallinity of ramie fabrics. Low-stress mechanical properties evaluated by the Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabric indicate that immobilized cellulase enzyme treatment improves the softness, flexibility, and elastic recovery of the ramie fabrics.
