 Inspection
Inspection is done at three main stages:
§ Raw Material Inspection
§ In-Process Inspection
§ Final Inspection
Raw Material Inspection
Yarn Stage - Before Fabric Inspection - Fabric Inspection – Size-Set Approval
Accessory Inspection
 Sewing threads
 Zippers
 Buttons
 Interlining
Online Inspection
During production - By Quality inspector
Carried out various stages: Spreading ,Cutting ,Sewing, Pressing, Finishing
Acceptable Quality Level:
Statistical Sampling technique
These are 4 main levels followed in Apparel Industry. The levels are;

1.0 1.5 2.5 4.0

Suppose the buyers ask for AQL 2.5, then the industry will follow the
previous AQL 1.5. To be precautious in not exceeding the rejection number.

Final Inspection:
Final Inspection end of production before shipment
Atleast 80% of the consignment finally packed
Performed according to International Standards
 Yarn Test Report

Line Balancing:
- to set the flow through each operation to be as similar as possible
- check from time to time how things are going
- even out the flow again
- each line 2 floaters
Plant Loading:
 workers assigned work equally
 the quality controller or Line supervisor is in-charge
 If the worker is not able to complete his job, then he has to work extra hours. This is
not the incentive since it is his fault
