Quality Management Procedures

A systematic and thorough procedure for quality control and management is strictly adhered to at all stages of the purchasing, production and marketing processes.

The purchased fabric, received at the warehouse, undergoes 100% testing for shrinkage, colour fastness etc. before it is issued for production of garments. Trims and accessories undergo a 10% checking for quality before they are issued for production. Before the start of bulk cutting, the size set and pilot run approvals are completed and a 100% checking is done on markers, cut panels, patterns, etc.

On the production line, a 7-point system with traffic signal is installed to check on in-line quality. Besides, a dedicated Auditor conducts random inspections in-line, mid-line and end-line for checking adherence to specifications and quality standards. 100% garment checking with measurement of the product is done mid-line and end-line. Cut-control system is in place to check the garments before wash and after wash. Washed garments are checked 100 percent for washing defects, shortfalls in specifications etc. before the trimming and checking.

These steps are followed by pre-final checking, ironing and final checking with specifications. At this stage a dedicated Auditor is engaged to conduct random inspections in the finishing area to check the perfection and flawlessness in trimming, ironing, packing, etc. Then a 100% checking for tags, ratio, shade etc. is done.

There is a colour card system to analyze and rate/grade the quality output of each individual operator in each section. According to the rating each operator gets, he is either given training for improving his operational standards or for maintaining his operational standards.

Packed products are also subjected to quality check on a regular basis before shipment and there is a colour card system in place for evaluating and rating the work of each quality control auditor in each section. According to the rating each auditor gets, he is either trained for improving his QC standards or for maintaining his QC standards.
