Textile Weaving Order Planning Decision Support Tool Based on Fuzzy Logic
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
In the manufacturing environment, the process of order planning is on-going as a result of more orders coming in from customers. To process the orders, raw materials are needed, and these are limited and need to be utilised efficiently in a sustainable manner. A tool, based on fuzzy logic was developed to aid textile weaving production management in decision support. Matlab 7.8.347(r2009a) was used to develop the fuzzy logic module. The tool is capable of providing an optimum number of orders that can be processed in the weaving shed given the raw material in stock and the number of orders received from customers. A verification of the model showed that from the orders that were received and the available raw material in stock, 80% of the orders could be processed instead of only 50% that were currently being processed, indicating 30% possible improvement in production, and 1.2% improvement in daily profit.
