Failure Mode and effects analysis of selected weaving defects in viscose/linen fabrics using the fuzzy TOPSIS method

Abstract

Production-related weaving defects are a significant issue in the textile industry, directly impacting the material quality of products. These defects typically arise from mechanical, material, or operator-related problems during production processes, negatively affecting the durability, aesthetics, and functionality of the product. This study aims to identify the causes of weaving defects encountered in viscose/linen woven fabrics and determine the importance of these defects from the customer’s perspective. Therefore, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was conducted using the Fuzzy TOPSIS optimization technique to analyze selected weaving defects frequently encountered in viscose/linen woven fabric within a textile company. The analyzed woven fabric has a warp yarn count of Ne 16/1 Viscose/Linen and a weft yarn count of Ne 16/1 Viscose/Linen/Elastane. For the produced material, selected weaving defects were classified using linguistic variables by decision-making experts during the final fabric quality control process. This approach allowed the experts to prioritize weaving defects of greater importance to the customer by employing the Fuzzy TOPSIS optimization method. The study concluded that “Draft Defect” ranked first as the most critical defect, requiring immediate resolution.
