In this study an approach for neural networks evaluation of quality management (QM) is proposed. It is based on a checklist tool using a neural networks-based evaluation model. This approach enables the determination of the most important quality criteria and the generation of recommendations for improving the quality management in textile sector. A neural networks method is illustrated and val...

OBJECTIVE To investigate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality among textile workers. METHODS A total of 267,400 Chinese female textile employees were monitored for COPD mortality from 1989 to 2000. Textile factories in the cohort were classified into 10 industrial sectors. Age-adjusted mortality, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and 95% CIs were calculated by sector. In ...

Energy is the essential input for operations along the industrial manufacturing chain of textiles. China’s textile industry is facing great pressure on energy consumption reduction. This paper presents an analysis of the energy footprint (EFP) of China’s textile industry from 1991 to 2015. The relationship between EFP and economic growth in the textile industry was investigated with a decouplin...
