GARMENT QUALITY INSPECTION
INTRODUCTION:
Garments are assembling of different elements such as, fabric, sewing thread, buttons, trims etc. The quality of garments depends on proper inspection of every step of garment production. For maintaining the required quality levels needs to check every step of garment production. This procedure is known as garment inspection.
Garment inspection is very important for quality maintenance of garment. These inspections are followed from beginning of garment assembling process till the end of it. But garment quality inspection is a kind of process at the end is called as final inspection.
Garment inspection is the one of the important process, because a customer needs quality products. So every industries are inspects the end products are ready garment to fulfill the customer needs and to satisfying their demands for quality.
As followed by, even SHAHI Exports private limited also checks in ready garment and if any defects were found in the garment, that particular garment is sent back to the sewing section. Then after correction of the defects again it is send to the end section for inspection.

In garment industry, there are three stages of quality inspection and are
1.      Row material inspection
2.      In process inspection
3.      Final inspection





In each stage of inspection the attention is paid to get a complete garment with best quality and less defects at the end. Garment inspection is done at the final stage. Garment inspection is inspection system which is carried on a complete garment. Before  this stage. So final inspection is very important from customers point of view. size of garment, fitting, and other defects is inspected during inspection.


  

Finishing department in garment section:

   Checking done prior to pressing of the garment at finishing room is known as initial finishing. Garments are again checked and passed for tagging and packing.
           After garments are packed up to certain quantity, quality control team, to audit of packed garments. This process is carried out to ensure that before handing shipment to buyer quality check.
If the completed work is being checked at each process and defective pieces are corrected before handing to the next process that at the end of production there is very little chance to have a defective at final checking stage.





Process flow chart of 4point quality inspection system has given in the following :                

Conformation of garment quality
 


Confirmation of trimmings and accessories
 


Measurement inspection
 


Garment in side inspection
 


Garment outside inspection
