Manufacturing Parameters Optimization in Functional Textile Dyeing Processes

This research is to develop the dyeing parameter optimization model for functional textiles based on the analysis of relationship between the manufacturing parameters in the dyeing process and the dyeing performance. The aim of this research is to minimize the total dyeing cost including the production and energy costs with the consideration of robustness measure and dyeing performance. The first task of this research is to analyze the relationship between the dyeing parameters and dyeing performance by the Central Composite Design (CCD). The result of the CCD is the estimated response surface for the use of our second task of the dyeing parameter optimization to search for the optimal combination of dyeing parameters with a robust performance against the manufacturing variability.
