| Abstract: | This
paper reports the study on the development of a ‘decision support system (DSS)’
software for cotton fibre grading and selection, and its applications in the
textile spinning industry. Two multi-criteria decision making approaches,
namely ‘analytic hierarchy process (AHP)’ and ‘technique for order preference
by similarity to ideal solutions (TOPSIS)’, have been amalgamated in the
developed DSS software. AHP has been used to elicit the relative importance or
weights of cotton fibre properties and TOPSIS to calculate the final quality
value (closeness index) of cotton fibres with respect to yarn qualities. The
developed software has been validated using the published cotton fibre and yarn
data. The quality value of cotton fibres given by the DSS software shows good
correlation with the yarn uneveness. |
