How Quality Control Companies Find Defects in Garments

 There are occasions if it is easier for outside experts to spot problems and provide solutions, which is why quality control companies are very effective in assisting clothing manufacturers in finding defects within their garments.

In 2006, a sizable Vietnamese garment manufacturer brought in an excellent management company to aid them. At that time, they'd 500 employees working in their factory. Unfortunately, they'd reached a crisis point, as approximately twenty per cent of their garments had defects. The product quality control company soon picked on two major problems. First, the business did not have an evaluation plan (TIP), and second, production line quality spot-checks were rare.

Only at that stage, the business was emphasizing quality inspections by the end of the production line. Because of the high defect rates, two inspections were being done by the end of production to improve quality control. Types of men shirts The supervisors and workers would do one check, and the dispatchers would do another before those items were wrapped up for shipment. Unfortunately, much of the job had to be done over, and the factory failed to meet up their deadlines. 

The product quality management company outlined the two-fold nature of the manufacturer's problem. Primarily, the specifications for every order weren't clearly laid out. Thus, workers were taking too long to familiarize themselves with new orders, and were making many errors. The 2nd problem involved insufficient checks during production. For example, a machine that's used to sew in zips is missing a stitch, and the worker does not see it, as he/she is aiming to get through the mandatory number of zips in an hour.

By midday, the initial zip the worker has done reaches the standard check by the end of the line. There they see the missed stitch and realized there is a problem. All 50 workers that insert zips are ordered to stop production and each of their machines are checked. By enough time they find the device that's causing the problem, production has been halted for approximately an hour. Additionally, all the job done by this machine throughout the morning had to be redone. Consequently, five hours of 1 employee's work has been wasted and another five hours is lost redoing the work. Plus, the job another 49 employees could have performed for the reason that hour can also be lost. If your quality inspector had arrived each morning to perform spot-checks at each worker's station, the whole situation has been avoided.
