Quality Control for the Garment Industry, When it comes to quality control for the garment industry, there are plenty of factors to consider. Clothing and accessories are made by humans. Hence, they are more prone to quality defects compared to other mechanical products manufactured in an assembly line. Quality control inspections happen in every stage, and there need to be designated quality control inspectors to ensure that products of the right quality reach customers. Each part of the garment has to be inspected, measurements, sizing, trim, cloth quality and more. The actual quality control process for the garment industry depends on the country where the garment is sold and the buyer house. Generally speaking, Garment Quality Control is divided into Three Major Steps,1.Raw Material Inspection, A finished piece of garment has plenty of raw materials, the cloth, buttons, fabric, zipper and gripper, sewing thread and many more. Simply put, the quality of the garment depends largely on the quality of the raw materials. Hence, its crucial that we start by inspecting the quality of the raw materials before starting the sewing. Here is all that you need to consider while inspecting the raw materials, Start by inspecting the fabric. The fabric used goes through a 4 point or 10 point inspection system. Various factors of the fabric like dye quality, color fastness, irritability to the skin, etc. are checked at this stage. Since the fabric comes in direct contact with the skin of the wearer, it has to be thoroughly checked for quality. Next, the other raw materials used like trims, zippers, and grippers, and buttons are quality checked. You have to check if these materials are sturdy, of the right color, of the right size, etc. during zipper inspection, the sliders, puller or the pull tab is operated to check if the zipper operates seamlessly. The color of the zipper must suit the finished garment. The zipper has to be assessed whether it meets the other buyer specifications like non toxic, nickel free, azo free, etc. Following this, the sewing thread is inspected. The thread determines the life of the garment. Hence, its evaluated under the following criteria tenacity, yarn count, yarn elongation and yarn ply. Additionally, the color of the thread matters a lot. It has to be checked whether the color suits the garment .For buttons, the following factors must be checked size must meet buyer specifications, the color of all buttons should be uniform and similar to what was specified by the buyer, broken buttons, etc.2. In Process Inspection, This is the second step of quality control and occurs during the production of the garment. The main reason for this step is to avoid defects during production. Nearly 60 to 80 of garment defects can be eliminated with this step.3. Final Inspection, This is the final stage of the inspection process and is carried out before the delivery of an order. Apart from evaluating the quality of the garment once again, this stage checks the order number as well.
