Method for optimizing a textile production process

The invention relates to a method for optimizing a textile production process (101), in which a textile end product is produced. The production process (101) is represented in a mathematical model (102) that contains a parameter set ({x1,..., xn}) with at least one parameter (x1,..., xn) as an element. At least one variation parameter (xi) from the parameter set ({x1,..., xn}) is varied (106) in the model (102) by respectively one variation ([delta]xi). An effect of the at least one variation ([delta]xi) onto a financial value (P) of the end product is evaluated (108). As a function of the result of the evaluation (108), the at least one variation ([delta]xi) is carried over (109) into the production process.
