Analisis Penyebab Utama Dan Peningkatan Kualitas Yarn Fault Pada Proses Winding Cotton Compact Ne 40 UW: Pendekatan Empiris

This study aims to identify and analyze the main factors contributing to the high yarn fault rates in the winding process of Cotton Compact Ne 40 UW production at PT Tantra Textile Industry. The methodology employed includes an ex post facto approach, direct observation, and historical data analysis from the Ring Spinning Frame (RSF) and winding machines. The findings reveal that Short Thick and Long Thick faults are the most dominant types, accounting for over 60% of the total detected faults, primarily due to variations in yarn thickness beyond control limits. Additionally, unstable environmental conditions and suboptimal machine cleanliness were found to exacerbate the quality of the yarn. These findings emphasize the need for stricter control over environmental parameters and improved machine maintenance to enhance yarn quality. The practical implications of this research include the implementation of advanced environmental monitoring systems and intensive machine maintenance programs. This study makes a significant contribution to the literature by providing detailed empirical analysis of the factors affecting yarn quality during the winding stage and offering data-driven recommendations for improving textile production quality.
