Abstract
Mathematical model is a powerful tool in engineering for studying variety of problems related to design and development of products and processes, optimization of manufacturing process, understanding a phenomenon and predicting product’s behaviour in actual use. An insight of the process and use of appropriate mathematical tools are necessary for developing models. In the present paper, a review of types of model, procedure followed in developing them and their limitations have been discussed. Modeling techniques being used in few textile processes available in the literature have been cited as examples.
