FINAL AUDIT
The purpose of the final, audit is to establish
the quality level of the final pieces goods
before it leaves the factory.
Final Audit is done internally(by quality auditor)
as well as externally (by buyer's QC). They use
statistical Quality Control as their tool as check
few pieces so as to get the idea of the lot.
The QA manager has to conduct a final quality
audit of the packed goods and this has to done
at two stages:
1. Once 50% of the shipment is packed
2. Other when 100% of the shipment is packed

GUIDELINES FOR FINAL AUDIT

Check the carton dimension, marker sticker.

Check the price sticker, hangtag, pre pack.
Check the packing.
Check the folding size.
Check the ratio and shade wise packing.
Check the fabric defect and poor pressing.
Check the shade wise packing.
Check the button placement .
Check the shape of garment.
Check the joint stitch, broken stitch, open stitch,
uncut stitch.
Check the outlook of the garment, check the
measurement

FINAL INSPECTION REPORT

Garment inspection is a vital process of quality
control for measuring the quality of the product,
comparing with requirements and acting on the
variations.
There are three types of final inspection
Step wise inspection
Batch inspection
100% inspection

STEPWISE INSPECTION

Stepwise inspection has two types one is final

inspection and other is super final inspection. In final
inspection we sort out sewing faults and in super final
inspection we check specs, shade and shape of the
garment.

BATCH INSPECTION

In it a team of final inspectors check the pieces

and make batch for example a batch is consist of
100 garments from those batches randomly some
batches are inspect by auditor and pass, fail
report is made on type of fault and occurrence of
faults.

100% INSPECTION

Once the garment has been fully assembled, then

it must pass though a final inspection. In the
final inspection, 100% of the garments
manufactured are checked for defects

On the basis of the inspection report is made.

Chart in formed having total pieces checked, total
pieces accepted, total defects found and remarks.
On the basis of chart further process is carried
out.

STATISTICAL SAMPLING
It is also known as acceptance sampling. This
inspection alternative also provides a compromise
between 100% inspection and no inspection at all.
No over or under inspection in this. Hence risks
of making wrong decision are know and
controllable.
This is usually the most practical and economical
means for determining product quality.
This has the advantage of flexibility with regard
to the amount of inspection to be performed at
any given time, depending on the importance of
the product and apparent product quality.

APPLICATION OF AQL
AQL (Acceptance Quality Level) is one of the
most frequently used terms when it comes to
quality in the apparel export industry.
As most of the acceptance decisions of the
apparel shipments for the export market are
made on the basis of AQL based sampling plans.
The AQL is the maximum per cent defective that
for the purpose of sampling inspection can be
considered satisfactory as a process average.

Randomly draw a sample consisting of specified

number of garments from a lot. The sample plan also
provides the number maximum allowed defective
pieces.
In practice, three types of defects are distinguished.
For most consumer goods, the limits are:
1. 0% for critical defects (totally unacceptable: a user
might get harmed, or regulations are not respected).
2. 2.5% for major defects (these products would usually
not be considered acceptable by the end user).
3. 4.0% for minor defects (there is some departure from
specifications, but most users would not mind it).

ZONING OF GARMENT
When a construction flaw or defect occurs in a
product, acceptance or rejection of the defective
product is prioritized by the area, or zone, in
which it occurs.
Each product has specific zones that are more
important than others, and guidelines are
defined accordingly.
There is three types of zones:
A zone
B zone
C zone

zone: Areas with extremely high visibility that

is likely to be viewed from a close distance at the
time of purchase or receipt. Cosmetic flaws
located in these zones would be considered major
and would be cause for the rejection of the
product.
B zone: Areas that are not visibly dominant, but
are visible in normal use. Cosmetic flaws would
be evaluated based upon the size of the defect,
color, and intended end use of the product to
determine acceptability.

zone : Areas that are not visibly dominant,

but are visible in normal use. Cosmetic flaws

product to determine acceptability.
