Raw Material Wastage Control: Tracking Yarn Procurement from Bikaner to Bhadohi

With imported New Zealand wool, indigenous Bikaner blends, and pure mulberry silks fluctuating in price, raw material efficiency determines whether an export house remains profitable or loses money.

Where Does the Yarn Disappear?

In many mills, inventory tracking ends when yarn arrives at the main gate. From there, 50kg bags are split, sent to dye houses, distributed to village weavers, sheared on finishing tables, and discarded as fluff.

Unmonitored systems often suffer from 18% to 24% total fiber loss, compared to an industry benchmark of 10% to 12% in well-managed units.

The 4-Point Material Balance Equation

• Net Weight Inwarding: Weigh every raw bale immediately on arrival to catch moisture discrepancy from spinning mills.
• Dye Loss & Gain Tracking: Factor in legitimate scouring weight reduction and dyestuff chemical add-on.
• Piece-Rate Yarn Quotas: Issue yarn to master weavers strictly based on carpet square footage and pile height math.
• Waste Bag Recovery: Require weavers to return scrap yarn cones before receiving final wage settlements.
