ABSTRACT
Mix formulation process commences with the selection of suitable cotton component. Suitability here defined in terms of quality and cost of the cotton in terms of its ability to meet requirements of desired output yarn. The major constraint of this production process is its irreversible nature that prevents rectification of the mistakes even after having modern machines in the later processes. Thus, it becomes mandatory for running the spinning mill properly that the raw material in the back processes must be selected without any mistake or within the acceptable range of selection. Art based classical system has shifted to scientifically engineered selection system for mix formulation, mainly due to revolutionary changes took place not only in production but also in the associated techniques like agricultural, transport, testing, statistical, mixing, etc.
