Purpose
This process is customer focussed. Under agreed terms, we visit the manufacturing facility
when the goods are ready to despatch . This is to evaluate the goods in carton packed
conditions if they meet the defined requirements of the customers
• Carton marking, Quality and specifications
• Packing (Methods of packing assortment, Barcode readability)
• Styles and Accessories
• Workmanship & Measurements
• Performance & Testing
Method
We follow the ANSI / ASQZ 1.4 / ISO 2859-1:1999
The Acceptable Quality Limits are AQL 2.5 - Major and 4.0 - Minor.
The type of AQL to follow is agreed with the customer depending on the focus market of the
product and the Quality level required. Random Sampling method is applied to select cartons
and sales units. Tolerances are as per standard.
Advantages
• The assurance on the level of the quality of goods
• The analysis of supplier performance by a neutral body
• Engagement by both customer and supplier for quality improvement thereby reducing
non-Quality cost.
Purpose
This is to identify if any critical deviations are observed whilst in production and has the
potential to manifest into a bigger problem and a deterrent during Final inspection.
Method
The goods whilst in production (in the stages as they are in) is verified against the set
of established quality parameters. The details of deviations are reported.
The manufacturer can rectify the defect and take preventive action to avoid recurrence.
The number of interventions depends on the order quantity and capacity of manufacturing
facility. When the goods are ready for despatch, Final Random Inspection will be carried
out to evaluate if the goods meet the defined requirements.
Advantages
• Critical deviations are reported before delivery and appropriate corrective actions
can be initiated.
• It reduces the defects in the subsequent stages that it provides an opportunity
to the manufacturer to initiate preventive action and improve productivity and Quality.
Purpose
This process is customer focussed. This is to ensure
• The customer specifications / changes are rightly understood at the production floor
• The Quality parameters are in line with the specifications defined / established
• The goods manufactured and ready for despatch meet the Quality standards
Method
Under agreed conditions, we visit the manufacturing facility in three stages to carry out
• Pilot production approvals
• During Production – Quality Control
• After Packing – Final Random Inspection
Pre-production approvals are given on the samples produced in actual fabric, trims and in floor level production conditions.
The product is evaluated against the approved sample / specifications given by the customer and reported to the customer
where the deviation is observed to be critical.
When the goods are in production, Quality control procedure is followed with the number of interventions as agreed.
When the goods are ready for despatch, Final random inspections are carried out to evaluate if the goods meet
the defined requirements
Advantages
• This provides assurance that the factory has understood the specifications and producing as per the requirement.
• Subsequent stages in production are controlled and the garments that are produced will meet the stated and
intended needs.
