The Four Types of Quality Inspections
There are Four primary types of quality inspections: pre-production, First article Inspection, During Production Inspection, and final random Inspection.
There are a variety of details that must be inspected and approved during each phase in order to detect and correct quality problems
During the pre-production phase, raw materials should be tested before entering production. This may include a number of tests to examine the material for weight, dimensional stability, pilling resistance, torqueing, pile retention, stretch recovery, and much more. Components including closures, zippers, elastics and other embellishments such as beads, rhinestones, sequins and rivets should also be tested for regulatory requirements.
Since quality issues are often a result of defects in the materials, inspections during the pre-production phase allow our QC’s to address any issues before production begins. Ultimately, by inspecting the materials up front, brands and retailers can avoid un-anticipated costs and delays
