Abstract:

In order to give a more reasonable knitting hours for the production and trading for the woolen knitting industry, the knitting action and process of computerized flat knitting machine were analyzed, the action elements of the knitting processes were decomposed, the time needed for every action element was measured, and their impact on knitting hours were found. From this, a mathematical model of knitting time forecasting was established, and its feasibility was verified by the comparison between the actual knitting time and forecasted time of a piece of sweater. Hence the knitting hours forecasting of the computerized flat knitting machine was realized and an objective basis was provided for cost accounting in production and market price.
