Quality Management Services Includes:
Services designed to address the industry’s main challenges of meeting consumer demand for quality, environmentally friendly products that are made in a healthy working environment, all while aligning with legal requirements.
1. Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Our clothing and footwear quality assurance services are designed to minimise risks, improve consistency, and ensure compliance throughout the production process. We take a preventative approach, identifying and solving potential issues before they become costly problems.
Detailed Methodology
A. Pre-Production Quality Planning
Before production begins, we establish clear quality expectations and control measures. This ensures all parties—designers, manufacturers, and suppliers—are aligned on standards and deliverables.
Critical Path Planning – We develop a structured timeline for product development, sampling, approvals, and production, ensuring deadlines are met without compromising quality.
Measurement Specifications & Tech Packs – We create precise measurement charts, construction details, and material specifications, reducing misinterpretations and production errors.
Fabric & Trim Testing – We assess fabric performance (shrinkage, colourfastness, strength) and trims (buttons, zippers) to ensure they meet durability and wearability standards.
Pre-Production Samples (PPS) & Fit Reviews – We thoroughly evaluate sample garments and footwear for fit, functionality, and workmanship, making necessary refinements before bulk production.
B. Post-Production Planning & Auditing
Once production is complete, we conduct audits and quality evaluations to verify product integrity and ensure compliance with industry standards.
AQL Inspections & Standards – We perform Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) inspections to identify defects and determine if products meet agreed quality levels before shipment.
Final Product Audits – We assess finished goods for consistency in sizing, stitching, construction, and overall quality before they reach the market.
Factory Compliance & Production Compatibility Audits – We evaluate production facilities to ensure they meet quality, safety, ethical labor, and sustainability standards, while also assessing their capability and compatibility with the brand’s specific production needs.
AQL Training – We provide customized AQL training based on the company’s specific quality level to help teams understand defect identification, quality control processes, and industry compliance standards.
2. Factory & Supplier Quality Management
