Abstract :This paper develops the concept and structure of an expert system for yarn engineering. It describes the process of yarnengineering, in addition to the structure, components and functional features of a yarn engineering expert system. To reduce thecomplexity of the expert system it needs to be broken down into a number of sub-expert systems that enable the determination of fibrespecifications, yarn type, yarn specification, twist, draft sizing and yarn performance under various spinning systems. These sub-expertsystems interact and exchange information to produce a seemingly whole functionality
