Summary Classically the textile industry has lagged behind in new technologies. Collins and Aikman was no exception. Collins and Aikman manufactures synthetic textiles for the automotive and apparel industries. The need for computer analysis was evident when one realized that this manufacuting facility was operating six days a week and 24 hours a day with only 50% machine utilization in some departments. Of interest to the researcher was how computer simulation could be of value to Collins and Aikman.
