Quality Control Procedure of Garment manufacturing

Quality Control Procedure of Garment manufacturing Sampling 1. Styling Sample First, we need to make a styling sample to get styling approval as per buyer’s specifications, fitting & workmanship. Everything we need to follow as original sample & comments. For styling samples, we give fabric & accessories similar to the original colour or approved lap dip. We make a paper pattern of sample size as a buyer requirement. As per the styling sample comments, we make the size set pattern. 2. Size Set Sample Size set sample covering all sizes & covering all sizes & colours. All actual fabric & accessories are used for styling samples. Must adjust the pattern as required fittings, grading, and workmanship according to approval specifications & comments. 3. Pre-Production Sample (P.P Sample) For the final configuration of styling fitting & workmanship, before state production, we make another size set sample covering all sizes & colours for approval. After receiving p.p sample comments, the manufacturer meets all of the buyer requirements and then starts bulk production. 4. Counter Sample In every step of sampling, we kept a counter sample with marking the sample name. The pre-production sample counter should follow with p.p comments for bulk production. 5. Shipment Sample The shipment sample has to be prepared for the buyer 15 days before shipment covering all sizes & colors with all actual accessories. 6. Trial Cutting We cut 60 pcs of garments as a 1st trial to see the measurement. If any correction is required then we do it accordingly. For safety, we again cut 300 pcs of garments as 2nd trail cutting. After full confirmation, we start bulk cutting. 7. Pilot Run/Size Run A pilot run is a small cut across all sizes & colours that will identify & potential problems in manufacturing before the factory cuts bulk. 8. Pre-production Meeting (PPM The Pre-production meeting should be held to review all aspects of production. It should be held after the PP sample has been approved & sealed. Line managers should attend this meeting which should be facilitated by the production head and attended by the PP sample maker. The meeting agenda should include a style file checklist, production T & A plan, PP sample and comments review, and other aspects of the manufacturing run which could impact garments of the manufacturing run which could impact garment Quality and delivery. The factory’s in-house documentation/is also acceptable. Criteria for Pre-Production Meetings (PPMs) *new fabric is being introduced *Machine setting must be reevaluated and set accordingly *New construction methods are being introduced for critical fit tests *New machinery or new settings are being introduced *Ensure that shrinkage allowances built into patterns are correct for seam shrinkage, washing shrinkage, fusing, printing, or any other after-treatment to standard.
