The ever-intensifying struggle for survival by every industry stimulates keener efforts at modernization and cost-paring. Efforts along these lines have been and are still being made in the textile industry also. Such efforts by the textile industry must be pushed with the following major points in mind:
1. Raising of productivity by improving the performance and efficiency of each and every machine.
2. Smooth conveyance of materials and finished products through each frame.
3. Arrangement of machines with the distance between them reduced to a minimum.
4. Productive capacity of each machine not only at present but in the near future should be carefully borne in mind.
5. Simplifying the operating condition of machines and quality control.
6. Elimination of all causes for machine trouble and, especially, devising a perfect method of oiling and cleaning frames.
7. Simplifying the maintenance of each machine and equipment.
8. The frame and equipment modernized should be low in cost and yield a high profit.
9. Devising an easy method to connect each machine in one stage of operation with that in the next stage, due consideration being paid to the quantity of production and the amount of consumption.
10. Diversification and mass-production.
