Inspection- Why?
Inspection is the process of
identifying and mending the defects.
It is visual examination of fabric

REASONS WHY INSPECTION IS CARRIED OUT:

• To remove defects.
• To minimize the future reoccurrences of the defect.
• To determine quality and hence the price of the fabric.
• To supply information to proper levels of management as to
the qualities being produced.
Fabric Inspection - When, why, where

• Producer likes to know the quality of his products (says quality for
500,000 yds fabric)
• Buyer wants to assure the product quality he ordered.
• 10% check will give buyer some ideas of his product quality
• 25% check maybe necessary for new supplier
• 1% to 3% check maybe enough for a proven record supplier
Fabric Inspection

• Fabric inspection must be selected randomly

• The fabric sample must be selected from different place, different
lot and different time
• Inspector must use a packing list and select different bales on
different place
• The samples should be selected from early, middle and late
production.
