COMPARATIVE STUDY ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF KNIT PRODUCTS USING SYNTHETIC INDICATORS

Abstract

The work’s purpose is the comparison of four types of knitted fabric with the same structure, but with different values of the constructive characteristics. The synthetic indicators of constructive characteristicsforfour variants of knitted fabric made of 100% cotton for sportive ware for the hot season have been determined. The synthetic indicators are indicators of subgroups and groups of characteristics and are obtained by getting through the following steps: -determination of the importance degree of the representative characteristic, - the adoption of an evaluation scale, - reporting to the same evaluation scale, - determined the value of the synthetic indicators of quality. For the calculation of the importance coefficient of the charcteristics, the matrix method that involves the comparison of pairs of values and completing a squarematrices was used, with 1 when the characteristic Ci is more important than Cj and 0 if Ci is less important than Cj. Scaling was used for this study, which is a method of reproducing the intensity of manifestation of a characteristic on a linear graded space (scale), which extends from the unfavorable limit of quality up to the most favourable. On this scale, characteristics may be ordered depending on their intensity. By comparing the synthetic indicators obtained, we could evaluate the best variant in terms of the constructive solution adopted.
