Product Quality

The Quality Assurance Manual covers all garments manufacturing processes ad different quality control techniques used to ensure quality of the products.

Pre Production Meeting at factory

Before starting bulk production, a few pieces of garments are made in actual production conditions and system using actual fabrics. Investigations are made during making of the garment by the Q.A in assistance with the R&D team. The various aspects to be looked upon during trials are as follows:

  • Fabric quality, like grain line, silt line, G.S.M, elasticity, whiteness, shrinkage etc.
  • Recommended processing / finishing of fabric.
  • Machines recommended for production of the garments.
  • Attachments, guides to be used in sewing machines.
  • Construction problems and preventive action to be taken.
  • Embroidery recommendation and design problems.
  • Washing standard.
  • Recommend garments finishing system.
  • Report of the above is made and sent to various concerned departments.
  • Having PP meeting for all styles to ensure to understand garment quality control checklist level of each customer.
  • Pilot sample review.
  • Review Fabric and accessories to ensure 100% conformity and non-counterfeit issues.
  • For each and every style QA holds separate file, which contains following papers:

  • Product safety review.

Inline / Pre Final Inspection at factory

  • Process verification for product and process integrity.
  • Ensure 100% inline / Pre final inspection across all retail markets  to ensure finished goods are in good quality.
  • All pre production commitments need to be checked for consistency and implementation.
  • The correlation percentage of work performance for PP and Inline should be 100%

Final Inspection at factory

  • Ensure 100% Final Inspection with at most garment quality control checklist for all the above parameters found/discussed / corrected in PP and inline. Internal /External Customer support

Product Integrity

  • Ensure product integrity all the time.
  • On risk management use the skill to check the counterfeit for kids and infant merchandise.
  • Identify the issue in the pre production and bring to the notice of HOD.

Inspection Report Process

Lab Test

  • Support to achieve lab test requirements 95% pass rate across all soft line products.
  • Scrutinize on time and bulk sample requirements and execution while marinating necessary testing standard such as usability, flammability, and color fastness, rubbing stability to meet customer satisfaction.

Avoid customer complains

Pilot is prepared by the sampling department for getting approval from the buying house Q.C to start production. Before showing pilot garments to the buying house Q.C in – house Q.C inspects the same. The general problem in garments construction, measurements and finishing are checked for. In case of regular measurements problem in each garment, patterns are also checked for that. Ensure 0% product quality claims by reviewing previous customer complains reports.

Support Business strategy

  • Ensure on time accurate feed back on critical issues to managers and to merchandisers.
  • Production delays must keep informed to manager and merchant well in advanced.
  • The in lines inspections must be fully through with the supplier and ensure all problems are sorted in the inline so that pre final and final inspections can be smooth.

Any issues on quality procedure must be high lighted to manager and Merchant, and early action must take to sort the problem.

Coclusion

Every packed shipment is checked for measurement of the garments as per the required standard as per the company policy or as per buyers’ standards (if specified). Refer to the Measurement Audit Report \. When it comes to bulk production, always keep a closed monitoring to control garment quality control checklist level by doing day to day inspections.
