Sampling Quality
Sampling Quality is judged from a customer perspective. Read about Garments Quality Control Inspection Report Software
- Senior and middle management (operational and commercial) must all be involved regularly.
- The lead auditor (Factory manager or Quality manager) should remain the same
- The audit is a powerful tool for training of all staff in the quality standard required
- All defects found at the audit must be followed through to their cause
- The measure DHU includes a weighting for defect severity
- Results are made known through management reports and daily review meetings
- Audits can be conducted at the end of a sewing line also
- The auditor is only the messenger – don’t blame him / her!
- Sampling Quality should be performed by specialist samplers.
- The samplers are not responsible for correcting defects
- Samplers tell supervisors when an operator has a problem
- This does not lessen the supervisor’s responsibility for quality
- Typically Sampling Quality size will be between 5 and 10 pieces
- Operators should receive at least 2 visits per day
- Those operators producing ‘defect samples’ will receive extra attention through repeat checks
- Samples must be taken at random – the operator should not anticipate a visit from the sampler
- All defects should be repaired immediately (maintaining the bundle complete)
- The process is defined on the flowchart procedure, using the Roving QC form
