One of the most important industries in textile field is knitting industry due to its ability to enter underwear, outerwear and interior fabrics. One of the essential problems facing the circular knitting industry is producing the required knitting fabric with needed quality at minimum cost since it is affected by type of yam and its quality, machine condition and machine setting.
Due to that it is important to apply a quality control system, which will allow the knitting industry to fulfill customer requirement. Many types of quality control system were introduced in the last decade. Every type of these systems differs in its ability and field of application.
The total quality management is the latest system, which was introduced to the industry in the last thirty years. It is considered as one of the most powerful systems in controlling the production in any industry.
In this thesis, it was tried to implement the total quality management in the knitting industry where the study was in a small factory has two machines. The first having procedure in the implementation of total quality management is choosing control items. It was discovered that major work process in knitting industry is producing knitted fabric by identifying the work process and then ranking it. It was discovered the customers and the most important customers and discovering their needs and then selecting control subjects. The second procedure is introducing measurement for this procedure and develop unit of measure, sensors and checking methods. The third procedure is measurement of actual performance by collecting data and then devolving detailed work instructions. The fourth procedure is comparing to standards by checking results. The broken needles per 100 kilograms were taken as a case study. Then the final procedure is taking action on the difference that will occur by analyzing the process and making contingency plans.
