In the garment industry, whether you are a manufacturer, importer, or brand, you must understand the importance of quality control in this business. This industry shifts swiftly, and any time lost in shipment or defect fixings can lead to unimaginable losses. Moreover, quality issues can quickly disseminate in the digital age, giving competitors an advantage. Therefore, quality control is essential, and quality inspection is the most commonly used method. In this post, we will guide you through the steps of a garment quality inspection, the key checkpoints to focus on, and how can C&Z expertise support your garment quality control.
Key Points to Control Hello everyone, today we will talk about the important of quality control (QC) in bulk garment production. QC not only inspects at the end of production but also controls at key points during the production process. So what are these key points? Key Points Not to Be Overlooked
📏 In garment production, key points refer to those steps that cannot be reversed once an error. For example, printing, cutting fabric, punching holes, and gluing, which cause permanent changes to the fabric and cannot be reworked. For delicate fabrics or processes, even the sewing itself may become an irreversible step. Therefore, confirmation should be made before these steps in principle. Simplified Inspection Process
📋 In actual operation it is impossible for QC to inspect every step, so it is necessary to simplify the inspection process. Generally speaking, the key points in garment production are concentrated before cutting and in the post-production process before the garment is completed. Therefore, the inspection in the middle of the garment can be simplified to: hold a meeting to confirm the requirements before cutting fabric, spot check the bulk goods when the garment is almost completed, and carry out ironing and rework. Differences Between Pre-production Samples and Production
🧵 Some people may wonder why there are still errors in the middle if the pre-production samples are already correct? It is likely because the pre-production samples the workers on the production line are not the same group of people. After the process is broken down into the production line, there may be errors. For example, cutting fabric, if ten or more layers of fabric are stacked together, they may not align properly. In addition, the pre-production sample only has one size, and paper patterns for other sizes have not been tested. Ideally, some start-up samples with full sizes should be made first, and the process and paper patterns should be tested the workers on the production line. Of course, now orders are getting smaller and smaller, so this is difficult to achieve, and therefore the intervention and adjustment of QC the middle are more frequent. The Importance of QC
🔍 QC plays a crucial role in bulk garment production. They have a heavy workload and need to intervene and adjust. Therefore, it is essential to find the right QC personnel and cultivate their abilities and qualities.
