Ans==
a) Examples of inventory types in the textiles and clothing industries include raw
materials (e.g., fabric, yarn), work-in-progress (partially completed garments), finished
goods (completed garments ready for sale), and accessories (buttons, zippers, labels).
b) The basic Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model determines the optimal order
quantity that minimizes total inventory costs. It assumes constant demand, constant unit
cost, and no order or holding costs variability. The formula is EOQ = √((2 * Demand *
Ordering Cost) / Holding Cost per Unit).
Ans== The basic principles of ergonomics involve designing tasks, tools, and
environments to fit human capabili�es and limita�ons, promo�ng comfort,
safety, efficiency, and overall well-being in various work se�ngs.

Part b----------------------
1. a) Compare between predictive maintenance and preventive
maintenance.
b) Describe importance of maintenance in the sewing section.
c) Explain a suitable maintenance system for the spinning mill.
Answer
a) Predictive maintenance involves using data and analytics to predict when equipment
failure might occur and scheduling maintenance accordingly, often resulting in reduced
downtime and cost savings. Preventive maintenance, on the other hand, involves
regularly scheduled maintenance tasks performed to prevent equipment failure. The
main difference lies in the approach: predictive maintenance is proactive and data-
driven, while preventive maintenance is based on a predetermined schedule.
b) Maintenance is crucial in the sewing section to ensure the smooth operation of
machines and the production process. Regular maintenance helps to identify and
address issues before they escalate into major problems, thereby minimizing downtime
and increasing productivity. Properly maintained equipment also produces higher quality
products and reduces the risk of accidents or injuries to workers. Overall, maintenance
in the sewing section is essential for optimizing efficiency, maintaining product quality,
and ensuring a safe working environment.
c) A suitable maintenance system for a spinning mill would be a combination of
preventive and predictive maintenance, tailored to the specific needs of the equipment
and processes involved. Preventive maintenance can be implemented for routine tasks
such as lubrication, cleaning, and inspection, to prevent breakdowns and extend the
lifespan of machinery. Additionally, predictive maintenance techniques, such as
condition monitoring and predictive analytics, can be utilized to anticipate potential
failures and schedule maintenance proactively based on real-time data. This approach
helps to minimize unplanned downtime, optimize maintenance schedules, and
maximize equipment reliability and performance in a spinning mill setting.
Answer
a) The maintenance department in a spinning mill plays a crucial role in ensuring the
smooth operation of machinery and equipment, which are essential for the production
process. Their responsibilities include:
• Preventive Maintenance: Regular inspection and servicing of machinery to
prevent breakdowns and ensure optimal performance.
• Reactive Maintenance: Promptly addressing any issues or breakdowns that
occur during production to minimize downtime.
• Predictive Maintenance: Using data analytics and monitoring systems to
anticipate potential equipment failures and schedule maintenance proactively.
• Spare Parts Management: Ensuring the availability of spare parts to minimize
downtime in case of equipment failure.
• Training: Providing training to machine operators and maintenance staff on
equipment operation and maintenance procedures to enhance efficiency and
safety.
b) The procedure for maintenance planning in the knitting section involves the following
steps:
• Assessment: Evaluate the current condition of knitting machines and equipment
to identify any maintenance requirements or potential issues.
• Prioritization: Determine the priority of maintenance tasks based on factors such
as the criticality of equipment, production schedules, and resource availability.
• Scheduling: Develop a maintenance schedule that outlines when specific tasks
will be performed, taking into account production downtime and operational
requirements.
• Resource Allocation: Allocate manpower, materials, and tools necessary to
execute the maintenance plan effectively.
• Execution: Carry out planned maintenance activities according to the schedule,
ensuring adherence to safety protocols and quality standards.
• Documentation: Record maintenance activities, including inspections, repairs,
and replacements, for future reference and analysis.
• Review: Regularly review and update the maintenance plan based on feedback,
performance metrics, and changes in production requirements to continuously
improve efficiency and reliability.

Answer
a. The design of a centralized air condi�oning system with an air washer
humidifica�on system involves the integra�on of air handling units, ductwork,
cooling coils, filters, humidifiers, and controls. The air washer humidifica�on
system typically comprises a water tank, pump, distribu�on pipes, and media
pads. Iden�fica�on of components includes specifying the capacity of the
system, type of cooling media, airflow rates, water supply requirements, control
strategies, and energy efficiency measures.
b. Humidifiers used in tex�le mills can be classified into three main types:
3. Evapora�ve humidifiers: These units use a fan to blow air through a wet
wick, pad, or filter, causing water to evaporate and humidify the air.

electrical hazards.
8. a. Identify the hazard associated with storing materials in store
section of a garments industry and develop some ways to minimize
it.
b. A local distributor company expects to sell about 22000 pes of
carton of certain size to the next year. Annual carrying cost per order
is $18 , ordering cost is $102 and lead time is three days. Distributor
operates 200 days per year. Show optimum order quantity, total cost,
ROP and frequency of order per year.
Ans==
a. Hazard identification and minimization in the store section of a garments
industry:
Hazard: Fire risk due to flammable materials, such as fabrics and chemicals.
Ways to minimize:
1. Implement fire-resistant storage solutions for materials.
2. Install fire suppression systems and equipment.
3. Conduct regular fire drills and provide staff training on fire safety.
4. Store flammable materials in designated areas with proper ventilation.
5. Use proper labeling and storage guidelines for hazardous materials.
b. Optimum order quantity, total cost, Reorder Point (ROP), and frequency of
order per year:
Given data:
• Expected annual demand (D) = 22,000 cartons
• Carrying cost per order (H) = $18
• Ordering cost (S) = $102
• Lead time (L) = 3 days
Therefore, the optimum order quantity is approximately 494 cartons, the total cost is $9252, the
reorder point is 660 cartons, and the frequency of order per year is approximately 44.52 orders.
