But the advancement in the technology made the textile industry more competitive. The effective usage of the new methods of the weaving technology, which is more energy efficient, makes the production more economical. It is found out that the usage of the conventional looms badly affects the cloth production. This study focuses on identifying the problems associated with the low production by the shuttle loom and suggesting suitable methods by which these problems can be reduced.
