Quality Control in Zipper:
A zipper, zip, or zip fastener, is a commonly used device for temporarily joining two edges of fabric. It is used in
clothing (e.g., jackets and jeans), luggage and other bags, sporting goods, camping gear (e.g. tents and sleeping
bags), and other items.
Following Factors are Considered in Zipper:
1. Proper dimension of zipper
2. The top and bottom end should correctly sewn
3. The tape and color of zipper should be uniform
4. Slider has to be locked properly
5. The slider should move properly
Quality Control System:
1. On- line quality control system
Zipper

Stiffness
Drape.
8. Crease resistance and crease recovery.
9. Air permeability.

2. Weight.
3. Thickness.
4. Air permeability.
5. Crease resistance.
6. Stability of washing.
7. Stability of dry cleaning.
8. Dimensional stability.
9. Elasticity.
Apparel Quality Control System:
improve. We need to establish these standard measures and measure the progress periodically.
Team work is also an essential element for the success of the program. Remember ONE of us is NOT better than
an All of US. The whole effort needs to have a direction that a team leader will provide.
Way of control quality:
1. Have the proper approach toward operators.
2. Train the operator to sew with good quality from the beginning.
3. Know quality specifications and tolerance. Be sure you understand what constitutes good and poor quality.
Be consistent in your decisions toward quality.
4. Comment on both good and bad quality. We all have a tendency to be silent during good times and vocal
during the bad.
5. Be sure to check each operators work daily.
6. Use a check list. Do not rely on memory of specifications.
7. Do not rely on inspectors to tell you the quality level of your operators, instead find out yourself.
8. Do not have a compromising attitude towards problem related to quality.
Basic quality inspection procedure in cutting area:
1. Marker is checked for all parts and for any variation against pattern.
2. Spreading has to be inspected
3. During cutting:
4. The marker line had to be followed
5. All notches should be located correctly with even depth say 1/8 in. ( 1/16). When cutting, care should be
taken not to shift the stack of parts to a side or cut with the blade at an angle.
6. In bundling and shade marking, care should be taken to ensure that the numbering is correct. For the final
audit process, the quality inspector will determine how many bundles to check from every size depending
on the sample size.
Basic quality control procedure in sewing line:
(a) 100% inline parts checking
The operations which are difficult to re-process after assembling is checked 100% to avoid damages and waste of
time.
(b) Inline inspection
During the production of garments the operators finished work is audited in an inline inspection. A quality
inspector moves from one operator to another at random inspecting a pre-determined number of parts from a
finished bundle. This helps to control quality at needle point.
(c) 100% end-line inspection
At the end of a line or section there should be a checker to inspect all the parts before they leave the section. The
inspections should be effective in identifying all defects in a garment. The checkers should have their forms filled
correctly. A good source of information to determine the quality performance of the section is the point of 100%
inspection. The section supervisor should check the quality level at the point of 100% inspection periodically. With
this information, the supervisor should address the problems, correct the possible causes and make plans to
prevent them.
(d) Pre-final audit
A pre-final audit should be performed on packed items on a daily basis to ensure that the good packed items are
meeting the quality standards. Any problem seen can be arrested at the early stage. If pre-final audits are done
properly, the final audit of the buyer should also be carried out without any issues.
Quality Training:
The purpose of the training program is to train operators to attain high speed and production together with good
quality work. Good quality comes from the consistent use of correct methods
The steps to be taken to achieve good quality are as follows:
1. Initial instruction
Point out the key points of method and quality to the trainee and be sure that she understands them.
2. Trainee practice
When the trainee first practices an exercise, the instructor should watch her methods very closely and correct any
incorrect methods immediately. The trainee should not be timed or be permitted to start timing until she is doing
the exercise correctly. Even after starting her timing, the instructor should keep a close watch on her methods and
quality.
3. Quality checking
Whenever the instructor finds any faulty work, or whenever defects are found by other inspectors or operators, the
instructor should:
Look at the faulty work or record to determine what mistakes the trainee is making.
Tell the trainee not just what she is doing wrong, but what she must do to perform the work correctly.
4. Methods checking
The best way for an instructor to ensure good quality is by watching the trainee while he is working, by inspecting
some of his work and by correcting any faults immediately. It is much easier and more effective to correct a fault
when it happens, than to try to change the method after he has turned out a quantity of bad work. In order to
become skilled at this part of training, the instructor should take every opportunity to stand and watch each trainee
at work, in order to detect and stop any defects in method, immediately.
Statistical Quality Control (S.Q.C) :
It is the application of statistical tools in the manufacturing process for the purpose of quality control. In SQC
technique attempt is made to seek out systematic causes of variation as soon as they occur so that the actual
variation may be supposed to be due to the guranted random causes.
Statistical quality control refers to the use of statistical methods in the monitoring and maintaining of the quality of
products and services.
Basic Categories of Statistical Quality Control (S.Q.C):
All the tools of SQC are helpful in evaluating the quality of services. SQC uses different tools to analyze quality
problem.
1. Descriptive Statistics
2. Statistical Process Control (SPC)
3. Acceptance Sampling
1. Descriptive Statistics:
Descriptive Statistics involves describing quality characteristics and relationships.
2. Statistical process control (SPC):
The application of statistical techniques to determine whether a process is functioning as desired
3. Acceptance Sampling:
The application of statistical techniques to determine whether a population of items should be accepted or rejected
based on inspection of a sample of those items.
Variations of Statistical Quality Control (S.Q.C):
1. Allowable or cause variation
