Cost analysis of single jersey fabric produced from open-end rotor yarns

In order to determine the cost of necessary goods or services, it is essential to determine the production costs. In this study the cost parameters of a final product during the manufacture from the fibre to the knitted fabric are examined and analyzed separately for each production process. Spinning, knitting, and dying processes, raw materials, labor, energy, amortisation, maintenance and other costs were computed by formulations. Single jersey knitted fabrics made from OE rotor spun yarns were considered. The yarns having the same counts as Ne 30/1 were manufactured by different nozzle types using 100% cotton of Urfa region, Turkey All production activities have been realized under the same mill conditions. Fabric productions were realized using a 28 fine, 32 inch diameter single plated Mayer & Cie. Relanit 3.2 circular knitting machine. As a result, the cost analysis was carried out to produce one kilo of open-end rotor yarn and raw single jersey fabrics [1]. And it was found that the open-end rotor yarn of Ne 30 would cost around 4.32 t{stroke}/ kg and jersey fabric produced from that yarn would cost around 4.70 t{stroke}/ kg
