Devoloping a software to calculate the unit cost of the double-fleece knitted fabric [Iki iplikli örme kumaşlarin birim maliyetini hesaplayan bir yazilim geliştirilmesi]

A commercial company should know the cost of a product which is produced by them to keep up their position in the market. There are elements that affect cost directly or indirectly. The direct elements, which affect cost in a knitting mill, are raw material cost, labor cost, energy cost, amortisation cost, fixation cost and treatment cost. The amount of knitted fabric which is produced in determined time depends on the fabric pattern, properties, yarn, finishing process and knitting machine. In this study, a cost calculater was designed that calculates in a few seconds the unit cost of the double-fleece knitted fabric which are generally used as leisure time garments. The interface of this software was carried out with computing lingo Delphi 7 to be computable with Windows operating system as well. It is thought that, the designed software should be useful to the industrialists and academics which work on knitting
