However, relatively little research is available in the area of scheduling dyeing operations. This could be due to a lack of information available about dyeing setups. In this study, a theoretical approach to structuring machine-cleaning setups in batch fabric dyeing operations based on the CIELAB L*C*h colour space and the tolerance of the human visual system is presented. This will permit more research on the detailed scheduling of dyeing operations that could ultimately help dyeing facilities to better meet the needs of their customers in terms of improving on-time delivery.}, number={3}, journal={COLORATION TECHNOLOGY}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Cho, Eunkyoung G. and Thoney, Kristin A. and Krauss, Jeffrey D.}, year={2006}, pages={145–152} }
