    Comparative study on the effect of washing cycle on dimensional stability of cotton and hemp-cotton denim fabric and their mechanical properties
    (UMT Lahore, 2025-08-24) Ahmad Hasan; Hamza Faiz
    The study concentrates on the comparative nature of the denim cloth manufactured using 100% cotton as well as hemp cotton blends concerning the dimensional stability, washing performance and mechanical properties. It is a fiber, which is found naturally and hence it has been used widely since it is potent and it softens on the skin. Hemp fibers are tree-like in length. This means, as a result, they possess many eco-friendly features, including reduced water requirements, omitting pesticides as a result of improved soil health. The hemp fibers are also mixed with cotton so as to provide strength in the fabric as well as environmental friendliness. The studies take into consideration the density characteristics of each kind of cloth (i.e. what they are made of, what and how they are woven and what chemicals are used to make them and what is its impact on dimensional stability). The mechanical strength of the fabric after a variety of different denim washing procedures are tested and evaluated to give an idea of how these processes interfere with shrinkage, tensile strength, flexibility, weight and the appearance. Though the studies exist on properties of denims, not much research work has been conducted in relation to physical qualities in general with regard to cotton and hemp/cotton blend denim materials. The gap is bridged by a well-assigned implementation of the present study itself and, consequently, it adds to the broader scope of the field of textile science. The findings would offer some information that would assist the manufacturers of fabric, garment and accessories and designers to improve on the use of hemp-cotton mixes in manufacturing of sustainable denim products of better quality. This research would offer information on dimensional stability of denim with different blend ratios and their mechanical properties. The results indicate how much further research is required to determine most appropriate ways of balancing between environmental consequences and technical performance, to enable adaptation in an evolving textiles environment and market.

    Forecasting the cost & financial analysis of water tank project for international survey marketing private ltd.
    (University of Management and Technology, 2013) Muhammad Umair Ijaj; Ahmad Hasan; Atif Ilyas; Irfan Alam; Awais Bashir Khan
    Rill water is project of International Survey Marketing Private Limited which provides one of best & fine purified water. Company was facing following problems • Electricity (Power cut & Electricity Bill) • Market Competition • Bottle Problem (Washing Expense, Bottle Cap Expense, Dispose Off, Carriage Problem, Bottle Delivery Cost) To solve these problems company came up with a new product idea which can solve many of the above problems. Company introduce a water tank product through which company can easily deliver up to 300 liters water at once to each consumer, but before launching this product company have to make a survey, forecast cost and have to make financial analysis. Company also face problem on this stage because unavailability of some recourses. Above problem of the company becomes our problem statement and become our project. So we try to solve all those problems which company faces regarding new product. We took following steps to solve company's problem. • Make a quantitative survey by selecting target population through questionnaire. • Drive results to check either need in market is in favor or against of our product. • Forecasting the cost of both (19 liter water bottle & Water tank) products. • Use financial analysis tools scenario analysis & sensitivity analysis on both products. By following these major four steps we try to solve the problem of the company. Each step have detailed information in alphabetically and numeric form. Some assumptions are on based on some previous data or previous experience of the company. After following those steps we conclude all our results and give recommendation in the end.
