Abstract
Classical statistical analysis has been generally used in obtaining optimum condition such as problems for rotor spinning machine. In these methods the preferences of the producer about yarn characteristics to achieve the desired end product properties have not been taken into consideration. However, machine parameters selection from possible alternatives with different performance levels about yarn quality is difficult task and is inherently a multi-criteria decision making problem. In the present study, valuable assistance in reaching acceptable solutions in order to select the appropriate doffing tube and its adjustment for 30 Ne rotor yarn spun to raise efficiency of weft knitting machine will be provided by technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach. In experimental part 30 Ne rotor yarn samples were spun by considering one quantitative variable, i.e., two different distances between the nozzle and rotor, and also two qualitative variables, i.e., nozzles in 4 different shapes and a draw-off tube with and without a torque stop. Then quality parameters of the yarns were analyzed with TOPSIS.
