  This research is expected to address mainly for the existing problem of the spinning process in yarn strength, yarn evenness and yarn total imperfections. This was done by identifying the ring frame machine components that affect quality and proposing an engineered process an optimum value of ring machine components of the spinning department in Almeda textile factory. In this research, samples were prepared at the existing production lines at different values of process factors and ensuing interactions based on 2 level factorial experimental designs. Design expert, fitting software for DOE based experiments, was employed to analyze the results. The factors studied are the fiber parameters used for production (fiber length, fineness, trash content, honeydew) and the impact of traveller weight, ring top roller shore hardness and spacer size, on yarn total imperfections, U% and yarn str..
