Airjet Picks, Throughput, And Profit: A Unified View
How to evaluate quality targets and business targets together by combining pick density, yarn usage, and production time.
PPI Changes Fabric Feel And Cost Together
Increasing PPI can improve compactness and handfeel, but it also raises weft consumption and often affects effective throughput.
Treat PPI as both a quality control and cost control variable.
Add Time To The Cost Sheet
A construction can look profitable per meter but still underperform commercially if loom hours rise sharply.
Include effective picks per minute, active looms, and order size in your scenario table.
Run 3+ Scenario Bands Before Quote
At minimum, model lean, base, and premium picks. Add one market-shock scenario for yarn rates.
Final decision should pass both margin target and production window target.
