Investigation of the Water–Based Ink Hold onto the Thermoplastic Composites Reinforced with Sisal Fibers Abstract In this study, the surface adhesion of the ink on composite materials was examined. For this purpose, composite materials were produced by adding polypropylene, thus polyethylene thermoplastic matrices were reinforced with sisal fibres. After the production of composites, the screenprinting process using water-based ink was applied to composite surfaces to investigate printing performance. As a result of these applications, the printability of the PE was found to be better than the PP. Also, the ink was adhered to the surface by forming a bond with the composite surface at polyethylene materials, but meanwhile not being able to hold onto the polypropylene composite surface. Keywords:  Sisal; Polypropylene; Polyethylene; Composite materials; Printability Introduction Over the last few decades, more attention is given to cellulosebased fibers as reinforcement fillers in t...

Reduction of Garments Bottleneck Processing Time on the Sewing Line of the Garments Industries Abstract Operation management is one among the foremost powerful technique for deciding in production floor management and therefore the sewing stage is that the most vital and crucial stage in garment production floor, involves tons of operations having a special cycle times within the traditional sewing line of clothes , all of the workers aren’t equally expert to try to all the method . As a result, the problematic zones arise within the assembly line, which is typically referred to as the bottleneck workstation or operation. This study deals with bottleneck detection in sewing line. A bottle neck may be a point of congestion during a production system that happens when workloads arrive too quickly for the assembly process to handle, denotes as, rock bottom output point in assembly line. Reducing bottle neck is additionally related with increasing productivity it’s proven that with the ass...
