14. Discussion
I hope after this all calculation for this product manual flat m/c is
perfect for more profit.
Case:
Automatic m/c wastage %=15% on the other side manual m/c wastage % =
7%-8%
Auto m/c per day production up to 30pcs/day but here only 10 pcs/day. For
that in factory more production losses.
Costing is less in manual from automatic m/c process. As like for
100% acrylic FOB cost for manual =$5.4 & Automatic =$6.21, so I
hope manual is much batter for this style
15. Conclusion
After all this Analysis we can Saied that for manufacturing this fully fashioned
sweater Fully Automatic Flat Knitting M/c (Jacquard) is more costly and more
time needed and production hampering is done by that so Flat Knitting M/c
(Manual) process is much batter process.
