Calculation of Loom Production
What is Loom:
Problem-1:
Production of loom:
PPM = 200, PPI = 50
Production per loom per minute =200/50 =4”
Production per loom per month = 4 x 60 x 24 x 30 inch
Production per loom per year at 70% efficiency = 4 x 60 x 24 x 30 x 12 x 0.7 inch
= (4 x 60 x 24 x 30 x 12 x 0.7) / 36 yds

Solution:
Loom is an apparatus/device for making fabric by weaving yarn or thread. It produces fabric by interlacing a series of length wise, parallel yarns width a series of width wise parallel yarns. To get optimum output of loom we must know about the loom production calculation. In this article I have given many examples on loom production calculation.
