In-Process Quality Control by Apparel Search - Terms of Interest to the Fashion Industry
If you could not guess from the name, "in-process quality control" is actually quality control steps that take place thought the process of fabric production or garment production. This is also often referenced as "inline" inspections or inline audits. As opposed to simply doing audits after the completion of production.
One of the
keys to producing good quality merchandise
is an in-process quality control program.
Although it is possible to control your
outgoing quality with only a good final
audit, it is NOT recommended to simply rely
on that approach. Unless you install an
effective in-process
quality control
program, your cost of excessive seconds and
repairs may be high. It is far more
effective to correct the problem at the
operator level, then after the garment is
completely assembled, pressed, packages and
prepared for shipping. Being able to
deliver your merchandise on time is
important to your customers. Good
in-process controls help assure that the
final audit runs smoothly and allows for
timely delivery. You certainly do not want
to learn in your final audit about problems
that could have easily been fixed if
detected earlier.
The primary
purpose of the in-process auditing is to
identify problems as early as possible. A
problem may be caused by the operator, the
machine, or other factors. The inline
audits will help you find specific problems
in production. The only way to fix a
problem is to find the problem. It is
important to find errors as quickly as
possible so that they can be corrected as
fast as possible.
Some
companies will do their own inline
inspections and others will utilize
inspection services.
If you are
looking to utilize 3rd party inspection
services, you can check the
apparel
inspection services section.
