Theoretical Analysis of the Factors Affecting Splice Loss During Fabric Spreading

Material utilization is mainly concerned by industrialpractitioners since it contributes to minimize the totalproduction costs for garment manufacturing. Apart fromthe marker loss, splice loss (the fabric loss during thejoining of different fabric rolls) is one of the primarycauses of fabric loss, but it has not been considered spe-cifically in the past literatures. The amount of splice lossduring fabric spreading is governed by various factors in-cluding the marker length, the number of fabric rolls,and the number of splicing intervals for laying-up. Inour study, these three effects on splice loss during fabricspreading were computed and analysed.
