     The objective of this paper is to make a traditional process called scheduling much more finite and easy to use in textile industry. In textile industry, complex equipments are to be used precisely in such a way that the product being produced is completely finished within the given time. Also, when dealing with fewer counts of yarns, the process is quite easy to handle. But, if a huge sum of yarn counts are present in the situation, the process becomes quite complex and leads to more processing time. In order to reduce such complexity, time optimization, Tabu search algorithm is used. Main problem is decomposed into independent sub problems so that the algorithm can be parallelized on multiple processors. Each sub problem is solved on a different processor. With the algorithm being processed, corresponding programs are created with help of the programming language JAVA. The output of the program are obtained and validated with actual results.
