Final Inspection Process in Apparel Industry
Final inspection is the last steps of garment inspection system. In this stage complete garments
are inspected by buyer. Different parts of garments are inspected in this stage such as garments
main fabric, accessories, trims, label, fabric faults etc. There are various systems for final
inspection in the garment industry. Final inspection is very important for an export order
shipment.

Final inspection consists of inspecting finished garments from the buyer’s point of view; size
measurements, form fitting (putting garments on the proper size manikins to see if they
properly fit labeled sizes); and live modeling if necessary (again to see if the garments properly
fit the labeled sizes). Final inspection may occur before or after garments are packed in poly
bags and cartons. If it is done after garments packed, then proper size and style markings on
the package can also be checked.

DHU

DHU stands for Defect per Hundred Units. It means a number of defects found or detected per
100 garments. This is also known as DPHU (Defects Per Hundred Units).

To measure DHU of any process, one needs to record a number of total pieces checked and the
number of total defects is detected in the inspected garments. It is a number of defects, not the
defective garments. One defective garment may have more than one defects. Like a checker
 found broken stitch, a hole and raw edges in a shirt. Here checker found one defective shirt but
the defective shirt contains 3 defects.

Once you have a record of the following information of a lot you can measure DHU of that lot
using the above formula.

1. Total pieces inspected

2. Total defects found in those inspected pieces
DHU value is calculated using the following formula.

Defects per hundred units = (Total defects found * 100)/Total garments inspected

From the tables above,

DHU in cutting department – 3.34

DHU in sewing department- 3.84

DHU in finishing department- 13.8

Total DHU=( DHU in cutting department+ DHU in sewing department+ DHU in finishing
department)*100/total number of garment checked

= (3.34+3.84+13.8)*100/5000

=0.4196
