Краткий обзор:The present paper aims to develop a systematic, prescriptive, and exclusively statistical problem-solving methodology that integrates scientific experimental design methods with the Six Sigma philosophy. This methodology was used for the study and continuous improvement of a direct dyeing process for textile materials. In the first stages of the methodology, the process was systematically analyzed; color difference was identified, using rank correlation as the main quality requirement of the customer; and the influence of the electrolyte concentration in the dye bath on this quality characteristic was tested, using analysis of variance. In the subsequent stages, a full factorial experiment was carried out to obtain a mathematical model describing the action of the main selected influence factors on the color difference; response surfaces and constant level curves were plotted to find the optimal settings of these influence factors. It was concluded that cotton fabric provides a more uniform chromatic reproduction, i.e., a lower color difference, compared to linen, and the electrolyte concentration of 20 g/L yielded the most stable chromatic performance for both fiber types.
