Quality System Audit

Quality System Audit – Select 5 garments at random from the packed goods and bring them to clean, clear and well-illuminated table.

  • Check the garments one by one and record nature and number of efects classified under 3 categories :
  • A – critical
  • B – major
  • C – minor
  • Calculate the DHU (defects per hundred units). Record this.
  • Enter the Weekly Quality System Audit Summary.
  • Discuss the quality issues specifically with the production manager.
  • The auditor is normally the senior-most person in the factory.
  • The auditor is estimating the defects missed. The efficiency of the quality system is the defects found by the line checkers expressed as a percentage of the total defects (got from the in-line sampler or the sum of the defects found & the defects missed).
  • The efficiency of a line checker can also be calculated by doing a quality audit on pieces passed by her. We sale Garments Quality Control Inspection Report Software

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FINAL INSPECTION

There are three types of inspection that must be conducted during a final inspection-

  • Workmanship Quality
  • Spec Measurement
  • Packing Integrity (which consist of two checks called the Count and Accuracy Quality System Audit )
  • All three inspections must be conducted when a PO has been packed completely (100%).
  • A Packing List (P/L) must be available for use by the QA to perform the above inspections, so that appropriate random sample size can be selected for the final inspection.
