Proposal for standardization in the warping process in textile manufacturing

In a textile company focused on producing hammocks, the Warping Process presented line stoppages in its weavers related to the variability of the tension applied by the moving comb. This variability was identified as the main cause of reel defects, which account for 84% of line stoppages. It was found that 72% were caused by differences in the voltage with which they were made. To address the problem raised, a detailed analysis of line stoppages caused by defects in the reels and their impact on production was carried out. The methodology included the collection and analysis of data on production times, line stoppages and associated economic losses. Time and motion study techniques were implemented to identify the warping stations with the highest number of defects and operations diagrams were developed for each station.
