Garment Quality Inspection

Garment quality inspection can be divided into two categories: “internal quality” and “external quality” inspection

Intrinsic quality inspection of a garment

1. The “internal quality inspection” of garments refers to the garments: color fastness, PH value, formaldehyde, azo, chewiness, shrinkage, metal toxic substances. . and so on detection.

2. Many of the “internal quality” inspections cannot be detected visually, so it is necessary to set up a special testing department and professional equipment for testing. After passing the test, they will send it to the company’s quality personnel in the form of a “report”!

 

External quality inspection of second garments

Appearance inspection, size inspection, surface/accessory inspection, process inspection, embroidery printing/washing inspection, ironing inspection, packaging inspection.

1. Appearance inspection: Check the appearance of the garment: damage, obvious color difference, drawn yarn, colored yarn, broken yarn, stains, fading, variegated color. . . etc. defects.

2. Size inspection: It can be measured according to the relevant orders and data, the clothes can be laid out, and then the measurement and verification of each part can be carried out. The unit of measurement is “centimeter system” (CM), and many foreign-funded enterprises use “inch system” (INCH). It depends on the requirements of each company and customer.

3. Surface/accessory inspection:

A. Fabric inspection: Check whether the fabric has drawn yarn, broken yarn, yarn knot, colored yarn, flying yarn, color difference in edge, stain, cylinder difference. . . etc.

B. Inspection of accessories: For example, zipper inspection: whether the up and down is smooth, whether the model conforms, and whether there is a rubber thorn on the zipper tail. Four-button inspection: whether the color and size of the button match, whether the upper and lower buttons are firm, loose, and whether the edge of the button is sharp. Sewing thread inspection: thread color, specification, and whether it has faded. Hot drill inspection: whether the hot drill is firm, size and specifications. etc. . . .

4. Process inspection: Pay attention to the symmetrical parts of the garment, collar, cuffs, sleeve length, pockets, and whether they are symmetrical. Neckline: Whether it is round and correct. Feet: Whether there is unevenness. Sleeves: Whether the eating potential and dissolving position of the sleeves are even. Front middle zipper: Whether the zipper sewing is smooth and the zipper is required to be smooth. Foot mouth; symmetrical and consistent in size.

5. Embroidery printing/washing inspection: pay attention to check the position, size, color and flower shape effect of embroidery printing. The laundry water should be checked: the hand feeling effect, color, and not without tatters after washing.

6. Ironing inspection: Pay attention to whether the ironed garments are flat, beautiful, wrinkled, yellow, and water-stained.

7. Packaging inspection: use the bills and materials, check the outer box labels, plastic bags, bar code stickers, listings, hangers, and whether they are correct. Whether the packing quantity meets the requirements and whether the yardage is correct. (Sampling inspection according to AQL2.5 inspection standard.)

Not only the appearance quality of clothing is stipulated in clothing standards, but the internal quality is also an important product quality content, and more and more attention is paid by quality supervision departments and consumers. Clothing brand enterprises and clothing foreign trade enterprises need to strengthen the internal quality inspection and control of clothing.

 

Semi-finished product inspection and quality control points

The more complex the garment production process, the longer the process, the more inspections and quality control points are required. Generally speaking, a semi-finished product inspection is carried out after the garment is finished sewing process. This inspection is usually carried out by the quality inspector or team leader on the assembly line to confirm the quality before finishing, which is convenient for timely modification of the product.

For some garments such as suit jackets with higher quality requirements, the quality inspection and control of the components will also be carried out before the components of the product are combined. For example, after the pockets, darts, splicing and other processes on the front piece are completed, an inspection and control should be done before connecting to the back piece; after the sleeves, collars and other components are completed, an inspection should be done before they are combined with the body; such inspection work can be done by It is done by the personnel of the combined process to prevent the parts with quality problems from flowing into the combined processing process.

After adding semi-finished product inspection and parts quality control points, it seems that a lot of manpower and time are wasted, but this can reduce the amount of rework and ensure quality, and the investment in quality costs is worthwhile.

 

Quality improvement

Enterprises improve product quality through continuous improvement, which is an important part of enterprise quality management. Quality improvement is generally done through the following methods:

1 Observation method:

Through random observation by team leaders or inspectors, quality problems are found and pointed out in time, and the operators are told the correct operation method and quality requirements. For new employees or when the new product is launched, such inspection is essential to avoid processing more products that need to be repaired.

2 data analysis method:

Through the statistics of the quality problems of unqualified products, analyze the main causes, and make purposeful improvements in the later production links. If the clothing size is generally too large or too small, it is necessary to analyze the reasons for such problems, and improve it through methods such as model size adjustment, fabric pre-shrinking, and clothing size positioning in post-production. Data analysis provides data support for the quality improvement of enterprises. Clothing enterprises need to improve the data records of the inspection process. Inspection is not only to find out substandard products and then repair them, but also to accumulate data for later prevention.

3 Quality traceability method:

Using the quality traceability method, let the employees who have quality problems bear the corresponding modification and economic responsibility, and improve the quality awareness of employees through this method, and do not produce substandard products. If you want to use the quality traceability method, the product should find the production line through the QR code or the serial number on the label, and then find the corresponding person in charge according to the process assignment.

The traceability of quality can be carried out not only in the assembly line, but also in the entire production process, and even traceable to the upstream surface accessories suppliers. The inherent quality problems of clothing are mainly formed by the textile and dyeing and finishing processes. When such quality problems are found, corresponding responsibilities should be divided with the fabric suppliers, and it is best to find out and adjust the surface accessories in time or replace the surface accessories suppliers.
