Introduction:

Quality means customer needs is to be satisfied. Failure to maintain an adequate quality standard can therefore be unsuccessful. But maintaining an adequate standard of quality also costs effort. From the first investigation to find out what the potential customer for a new product really wants, through the processes of design, specification, controlled manufacture and sale. 

There are a number of factors on which quality fitness of garment industry is based such as - performance, reliability, durability, visual and perceived quality of the garment. Quality needs to be defined in terms of a particular framework of cost.

Quality Control:

Quality is of prime importance in any aspect of business. Customers demand and expect value for money. As producers of apparel there must be a constant endeavor to produce work of good quality.

"The systems required for programming and coordinating the efforts of the various groups in an organization to maintain the requisite quality". As such Quality Control is seen as the agent of Quality Assurance or Total Quality Control.

In the garmentindustry quality control is practiced right from the initial stage of sourcing raw materials to the stage of final finished garment. For textile and apparel industry product quality is calculated in terms of quality and standard of fibres, yarns, fabric construction, colour fastness, surface designs and the final finished garment products. However quality expectations for export are related to the type of customer segments and the retail outlets.

Quality control and standards are one of the most important aspects of the content of any job and therefore a major factor in training.

Total Quality Control:

"To ensure that the requisite quality of product is achieved". This ensures customer satisfaction, but it leaves quality control as a necessary but expensive evil.

To ensure, at minimum practicable cost, that the requisite quality of product is being achieved at every stage of manufacture from raw materials to boxed stock.

Objectives:

§  To maximize the production of goods within the specified tolerances correctly the first time.

§  To achieve a satisfactory design of the fabric or garment in relation to the level of choice in design, styles, colours, suitability of components and fitness of product for the market.

Textile Quality Control Experts:

Quality Control: AQM performs quality control and inspection services for different customers from all over the world. Using international standards such as ISO 2859, our Quality Controllers (QC) method consists to check different control points.

Conformity: The QC checks the conformity of the product (design, colors, raw material…) with the Pre-Production Sample (PPS) and other technical files.

Quality: Our QC checks for defects (fabric defects, colors defects, accessories and label defects, manufacturing defects) and classifies them accordingly.

Measurement: Following the measurement chart, our QC checks the measures for each size of the product.

Packaging: Our QC checks the quantity of cartons, size of cartons, their weight, shipping marks, etc.

Concept of Quality:

Simply, quality refers to one or more desirable characteristics that a product should possess. Quality is inversely proportional to (unwanted) variability.

Quality Characteristics:

Every product possesses a number of properties that jointly describe what the user or consumer thinks of as quality. These properties are known as quality characteristics. For example, fiber length is known to be one of the important quality characteristics of a fiber.

Conclusion:

There are many quality parameters in different types of fabric. And there are also many different faults in different types of fabric, which are effect in quality of fabric. If we control those faults and effects ,we can get the good quality of fabric. So quality control is very important for all types of fabric and textiles.
