Mo re valuable han everThe con tinuing glob alization of text ile

trad e mea ns USTER STATISTICS today

are more important than ever. Yarn pro-

ducers must ben chmark their ow n q uality

against that of other mills, so genuine

global standa rds are necessary to be com-

petitive in the world market.

When spinners, for example from

Pa kista n, Turkey, Bang ladesh a nd Brazil

talk about 'good' yarn, they sometimes

mean very different t hings. The only w ay

to find an a greement is to define objective

characteristics, supported by mea surement

parameters, methods and instruments

capable of measuring these repetitively

and a ccurate ly. This is precisely w hat

USTER achieves.

Mult iple benefits or yarn producersYarn producers benefit in several ways

w ith USTER STATISTICS. For instance,

USTER STATISTICS ma ke it simple for a

mill to set its own quality targets

w hether using the C D o r online version(www.uster.com) aided by the integral

correlative quality parameters.

Spinning mills can also objectively

compare in-house performance versus

global best practice. With the help of the

USTER STATISTICS, the mill can iden tify

performance gaps and pinpoint key per-

formance indicators for optimizat ion of the

production process. A further benefit

enab les a spinning mill to enha nce its com-

pet itive position , since USTER STATISTIC S

make it possible to describe yarns in a

tota lly objective w ay, substantiated by real

paramet ers. Yarn q uality tested on USTER

equipment is provable and guaranteed,

tha nks to direct compa rison w ith USTER

STATISTICS. This data gives t he mill a f ac-

tual quality description in case of a claim.

Since the benchmarked quality will gener-

ally be at a favorable level, this will

improve the mills competitive po sitioning

as w ell as providing an att ractive message

for marketing purposes.

Yarn buyers app reciate claim- free andcost-opt imized environment

It is obvious that globalization has

changed the trade channels in the textile

industry significantly in the past 20 years. In

many cases, personal relationships between

suppliers and buyers often no longer exist.Products such as yarn and fa bric are often are

spot-market internet purchases so quality

cannot be trusted to a firm handshake or an

experienced touch of the material.

Missing specifications based on objec-

tive values led to a serious deterioration in

the quality of garments or other textile

go ods. For many retailers, the re has been

a severe impact on operating profits,

because of claims. Leading retailers there-

fore are making hug e efforts to avoid such

issues. In many cases, they are able to

achieve lower quality costs by insisting onclear specifications for yarns and fabrics.

USTER STATISTICS are regularly used by

buyers as the platform for product specifi-

cations in commercial transactions.

With USTER STATISTICS on C D o r

online format traders, wea vers and knit-

ters are able to compare material from dif-

ferent suppliers and to optimize their yarn

sources to manage the quality and the

costs of their product.

The anguage of qualityGlobalization on one hand and

increasing cost pressures on the other

these are the key factors in ensuring that

USTER STATISTICS bot h tod ay a nd in the

future, are still relevant to the worldwide

textile industry. Tha nks to U STER STATIS-TICS, ya rn prod ucers can benchma rk and

to opt imize the ir production processes and

objectively prove the quality of what they

are selling . For buye rs, USTER STATIS-

TICS provide full transparency o n w hat

they are buying and a clear indication of

what to expect in the finished fabric

appearance.

Retailers can take advantage of the

USTER STATISTICS to opt imize costs in

their supply chain by defining their specific

needs according to the quoted values.

USTER

STATISTICS allow all users to spea kthe global language of quality needing

no t ranslat ion a nd ea sily understood by all.

The new USTER STATISTICS 2013 w ill be

especially appreciated by producers and

buyers as a common qua lity lang uage.

The upda ted statistics fea turing the

new classification standards such as out-

liers classified by the recently introduced

USTER CLASSIMAT5 w ill be launched

at the end of this year. The 2013 edition

w ill remain the essent ial tool for compa r-

ing key parameters along the ent ire value

chain, from raw fiber through sliver and

roving to the final yarn and beyond, con-

tinuing to offer weavers, knitters, yarn

traders and retailers the essential frame-

w ork to specify a nd obt ain the q uality t hey

need.
