Invisible loss in a spinning mill occurs due to a number of factors such asshort fibers (fluff) escaping from the departments, improper accounting of wastesproduced, weighment errors in cotton purchased and wastes sold, excess give away ofyarn and inaccuracies in the estimates of stock held in process. Since it would bedifficult to accurately assess the process stock, it is suggested that the invisible loss beassessed only once in4 months for control purposes. This will help in minimising thevariation in invisible loss due to errors in process stock estimate. From the datacompiled every month, a cumulative average could also be taken for control purpose.However, not much importance should be given for estimates made from data lessthan4 months.To maintain the invisible loss within0.5%, mill should also ensure thatmoisture content in the finished goods is at par with the level prevailed in cotton at thetime of purchase.
