The textile industry met its last major challenge to full mechanization with the development of?
Improvements to the steam engine
Process Improvement?
Process improvement takes place in a developing organization. The process owner takes a series of actions to analyze, improve and identify processes that are already within an organization to meet newer objectives and goals. In order to have successful results, the actions will follow a specific strategy. One kind of process improvement will develop because of benchmarking. This is the comparison of the company’s performance to the best of the industry’s. In benchmarking, time, cost and quality is measured. Then after they are measured, steps are taken to try to improve in the areas that the measurements are low compared to other industries. A business process improvement simply means focusing on doing things the right way and not just doing the right thing. The business process improvement will help to reduce waste or variation in processes to reach the outcome in a more efficient manner. A business process improvement flow may follow the plan, do, check and act cycle. These would be performed by the business leaders of the company. To put a process improvement into place, the process owner or owners are the ones to take the responsibility to get this accomplished. Process owners design the necessary processes to achieve the goals of the plans that have been created by the business leaders. Process owners will choose a reliable process improvement team to achieve these particular goals. Having this team to help, the process owner is still the one who makes the final decision on what process improvement plans will take place. He has the last word on any changes that need to take place to be sure of performance improvement. He is also the contact person for the entire team. To continue working on the process improvement, the process owner will plan first. He needs to know and understand the process requirements. and objectives. The process owner will then design steps that need to be accomplished to complete the process improvement. The next step is the do step. The process owner consults and talks with the operational managers to let them know what responsibilities they have in the process improvement. Then the process owner will check the data periodically to be able to visualize the ability to see performance trends and compare performance against the targets. Act is the last part of establishing the process improvement. The process owner will analyze performance issues and identify any problems that may be occurring within the process so that these problems will not happen again.
What is the scope of textile engineering?
Scope EVERY DAY the glossy and colourful newspaper supplements proclaim that fashion is big business, that the textile trade is booming. While what people wear is certainly one part of the huge industry known as textiles, there is a lot more to textile technology than fashion-haute or otherwise. The industry is peopled by many kinds of professionals, with many kinds of skills. The fashion designer is of course the most visible, as are the models who display a designer's products. But behind the designer, whose main tools are pen, paper, fabric and occasionally some computer software, is a large, multilayered enterprise. Among the key players are the technologists who create new materials for different needs, design and build equipment and create processes for making these materials. Dr T P Wagle, a professor of textile technology at the Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, notes that in terms of volume, the textile industry is the third largest, worldwide, after tourism and information technology. However, the number of textile engineers produced each year does not reflect the size of the industry. "Textile engineering offers decidedly more opportunities to graduates than most other engineering disciplines," says Dr Wagle. "Right now India accounts for only three per cent of the world's textile exports...our textile export activity can easily multiply by five times," he adds. Increased production of course implies increased opportunities for those trained in this field. While the handloom textile sector plays an important role in the Indian economy, there is a growing need for better materials and production processes in the mechanized sector too. Better fire resistant materials for uniforms, for instance, or absorbent fabric for medical use, or weather resistant packaging materials - these are the challenges that make textile engineering an exciting field, beyond the narrow confines of fashion. Textile engineering is concerned with the application of scientific principles and engineering practices to the wide-ranging aspects of textile processes, products and machinery, including synthetic fibers, interactions of fibres and fabrics with nature and with other mechanisms (such as conditions of use and storage), safety and health, pollution control and energy management. Textile engineers can choose to focus on a variety of areas within the field. Textile chemistry looks at how different materials may be combined to create a fabric that has certain properties, or at how existing fabrics may be treated in order to last longer, keep their colour longer, or stay uncreased. Design engineering looks at how to turn a paper design into a manufactured product, while quality engineering is concerned with monitoring processes to ensure product quality. As in other branches of engineering, students in this field study the basic physical sciences and mathematics, but with a larger focus chemistry than perhaps in other areas. The increased emphasis on producing ecologically friendly materials and using sustainable means of production challenge today's engineers to come up with creative materials and creative ways of producing them. The usual route to enter the field is by obtaining a B.Tech or B.E. in textile engineering. An engineering graduate obviously has the edge in the recruitment process, but students who have a diploma in textile technology or fashion technology also are in demand on the technical side, although they tend to start at lower salary levels. For most technical positions, a bachelor's degree is sufficient, but if one wants to move up in research and development, a master's is important. It also helps to combine technical and aesthetic skills, like N. Sham, who after getting his B.Tech, from Bannari Institute of Technology got a post-graduate diploma from the National Institute of Fashion Technology. He now works as a knitwear designer and draws a salary comparable to a software engineer. It is also possible to combine an interest in textiles with information science or robotics and focus one's attention on issues such as production systems or plant safety. Perhaps the most challenging and interesting areas in textile engineering are those that deal with research and development in new materials. Textile technologists work closely with chemical engineers to develop new materials for a variety of purposes - packaging materials that can keep food fresh longer, or fire-proof upholstery for vehicles, lighter or warmer fabric for space travel, better bandages for internal and external use...in our complex world, the needs keep increasing, calling for more and more ingenuity. Textile engineering has received relatively less attention from young people entering technical colleges - it lacks the gloss of some of the other fields, although the opportunities it presents are perhaps similar. As in any branch of applied science, the scope of opportunity lies in the way you look at the field, and what you choose to do with the knowledge you gain.

What country has the largest manufacturing industry as the global manufacturing boost?
According to the latest United Nations Statistics data the United States is the largest manufacturing nation, with an output of approximately $1.83 Trillion. This is followed by China at $1.79T, with these two nations far outstripping any other nations (Japan $1.05T, Germany $767B and Italy $381B). The rate of growth in manufacturing in China far outstrips that of the US, with its manufacturing industry growing more than an order of magnitude in the last two decades, during which the US has not even doubled its output.

What were the hazards of working in the textile industry?
A major hazard was fire, due to the combustibility of fabrics, accumulations of lint and dust and lighting used in the factories. Getting caught in machinery was another- lack of guarding on moving parts, drive belts, etc. Finally the exposure to high noise levels and breathing airborne fibers. The last can cause a health problem called byssinosis or Brown Lung Disease.
