It is possible to prevent poor-quality products from leaving the factory by performing inspections during their production cycle. Prior to a brand or retailer's bottom line or reputation being harmed, quality issues should be identified and addressed by auditors.
Main Type of Quality Inspection or Check
Quality Inspections are classified into the following categories:
Pre-production, in-line, and final quality inspections are the three primary types of quality inspections that occur. Each phase includes a number of details that must be inspected and approved in order to detect and correct quality problems as they arise.
Inspection during the pre-production stage
Materials should be tested during the pre-production phase before being used in manufacturing. In addition to weight and dimensional stability testing, pilling resistance testing, torqueing testing, pile retention testing, and stretch recovery testing are also performed on the material. Closures, zippers, elastics, and other embellishments such as beads, rhinestones, sequins, and rivets, among other things, should be tested for compliance with applicable regulations.
Because quality problems are frequently caused by defects in the raw materials, inspections during the pre-production phase allow auditors to identify and correct any problems before the manufacturing process begins in earnest. In the end, brands and retailers can avoid unexpected costs and delays by inspecting the materials before they are used..
The inspection process is in-line with the product.
Inspecting the product at various stages of production should be standard practice for manufacturers. Inspections of apparel should take place at each critical step of the manufacturing process, from cutting to assembling to pressing or other finishing procedures, to ensure that the product meets specifications. Consider that during the cutting phase, each cutting ticket should be randomly examined to ensure that each part is accurately notched and that shades are properly separated. It is impossible to assemble the parts properly if the fabric is not cut correctly.
Because quality issues are often reworkable during the production phase and can be corrected before the final product is completed, in-line quality inspection services are critical. In the absence of timely correction of quality issues during the manufacturing process, minor issues identified early in the manufacturing process can escalate to larger problems in the later stages of the manufacturing process.
Inspection at the end of the procedure
Last but not least, the final inspection provides auditors with one final opportunity to identify and correct quality issues before they reach the hands of the buyer, or even worse, the consumer. At the end of the auditing process, products are evaluated for their ability to meet specific performance requirements as well as for their overall appearance, sizing and fitting.
In many cases, brands and retailers skip inspections while the products are still in the factory and only conduct random, final inspections once the order has been delivered to its final destination. Until that point, it is too late, and the only option left is to discard the units of inferior quality. Obviously, this is expensive for all parties involved; however, the factory will bear the brunt of the financial burden.
