There is no way garment manufacturers can ignore producing quality products. Quality comes
first to most of the manufacturer supplying garments across the countries.
This article is written on importance of quality control garment manufacturers point of view.
Quality must be controlled during processing whether it is done by the operators, supervisors,
pressman, garment packers or one employs a checker or inspector. In case quality of the product
and processes is not being controlled from beginning to end it will cause followings:
• High alteration and rejection of garments
• Requirement of extra manpower for checking of goods and repair work
• Factory may loose customers (buyers) as well as Brand Value
• Low motivated employees
• Need to work for extra hours
• Delay in production completion
• Ultimately production cost will increase if one ignores quality control area in
manufacturing stage
I saw buyers to reject packed shipments when they found shade variation in garments, wrong size
ratio in packed shipment and faulty garment patterns. Can you imagine how small size garment
exporters can manage their businesses when shipments get rejected by buyers due to quality
issue? Most of the reasons can be cured at initial stages if the problem was noticed and action had
been taken. Managers used to say that garments are soft goods. Hence it is not possible to
produce 100% goods fault free to justify their failure to make quality goods. Ignoring of quality
production results negative impact on the business growth for long term.
• To check raw materials and confirm for use in cutting, sewing processes.
• Check cutting quality, patterns, cut parts.
• Check the sewing process, do 100% inspection of stitched pieces and move quality
garment for finishing.
• Checks garments after washing and finishing stage up to packing of goods.
• All the above checks are necessary to avoid failure of final inspection, rejection of
shipments and control over manufacturing cost.
• It is to be noted that the importance of controlling garment quality may vary for the other
part of the supply chain.
