Abstract

This study examines how a customized Lean Manufacturing approach can improve production efficiency in the weaving department of a textile company. Weaving operations frequently experience inefficiencies due to machine downtime, waiting time, excessive operator movement, and product defects, which create a gap between targeted and actual output. A quantitative case study design was applied using direct observation, time study, Value Stream Mapping, production records, and maintenance logs. Lean tools including 5S, Total Productive Maintenance, layout improvement, line balancing, poka yoke, and Kaizen were implemented in a pilot weaving area. The results indicate a significant reduction in machine downtime by 53 percent, waiting time by 59 percent, operator movement by 39 percent, and defect rate by 50 percent. Value Stream Mapping analysis further shows that non value added time decreased substantially while value added time remained stable, leading to a 24 percent reduction in total lead time and a 22 percent increase in daily production output. These findings confirm that Lean Manufacturing, when customized to the characteristics of weaving processes, effectively eliminates waste and enhances workflow. The study concludes that integrating Lean with maintenance and process standardization provides a practical strategy to bridge the gap between production targets and actual performance in textile weaving units.

Abstract

The rapid growth of biomedical applications and the increasing demand for advanced healthcare solutions have intensified the need for high-performance engineered textiles in medical contexts. These textiles must simultaneously fulfill stringent clinical, mechanical, biological, and regulatory requirements. This study aims to develop and analyze a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) framework to systematically translate clinical and user requirements into prioritized engineering specifications for medical textile development. A quantitative–descriptive approach was employed using stakeholder surveys, expert interviews, and literature analysis to identify the Voice of Customer (VoC). The House of Quality matrix was constructed to evaluate relationships between customer needs and technical characteristics. The results indicate that biocompatibility, mechanical durability, and antimicrobial performance are the highest-priority customer requirements. Correspondingly, fiber material composition, fabric structure, and surface functionalization emerged as the most critical technical characteristics. The discussion demonstrates that QFD effectively reduces overdesign, enhances cross-disciplinary alignment, and improves resource allocation in product development. In conclusion, QFD provides a structured and strategic framework for optimizing the development of high-performance medical textiles, ensuring alignment between clinical expectations and engineering feasibility while supporting innovation sustainability.
