This paper describes the concepts and development of a rule-based expert system to establish the optimum linkage between the yarn twist factor and end-use of a yarn and determine the appropriate twist for the particular yarn. The quality of a yarn is determined by the twist factor, which in turn is defined by the fibre qualities and endues of the yarn. The advantage of this architecture is that, with a shortage of expertise in the area, the expert system offers advice on the determination of the appropriate twist level in the place of the expert.
