We have extracted 2 chapters from different written sources which explain in clear detail the Quality Control process of inspecting finished garments, and a comprehensive list of defects found in every stage of the manufacturing process - Sewing, Seaming, Assembly, and Pressing/ Finishing.
The quality check on the garment depends on the cost of the garment. the higher the quality of the garment, the more stringent the quality inspection. the article gives tips as to how to improve analysis process when doing a test fit. It is important to check sizing and fit before a garment is dispatched, as inconsistent sizing can affect customer's loyalty.
Checking sizing and fit is only the first step, there are other areas to be inspected. Explicit instructions for these should be listed, including sewing operations with stitch types and pressing requirements such as crease sharpness. Rejects are to be classified in 3 categories: First Quality, Second Quality and Irregular.Other categories can be included, according to company policy.
Efficiency of the quality can depend on the number of rejects. For a line to be deemed efficient, defects must not exceed 0.5%.
