10 REASONS THAT CAUSE POOR QUALITY Absence of Quality Awareness - Quality policy and quality objectives must be approved by the internal meeting and implemented to the whole staff Everyone's goal is to be aware of the importance of quality - Guidance on quality standards, special / common errors, characteristics of each customer / style - Workers must be aware of their responsibilities and how to handle their own defects, the sense of product inspection at the stage of their implementation - Collecting documents, images of the errors of every operation Criteria for accepting, removing, defining libraries for dissemination & training Make quality information bulletin boards for related departments Unavailability of Quality monitoring tools - Statistics of quality indicators, Inline / End line / Finishing / Pre-Final error rates Use tools to monitor and measure quality indicators (check cards, charts, traffic lights ) - Apply quality control steps to each step of the work - Applying quality systems in the garment industry (ISO, TQM, SQP, GAP, ), removing the system perspective, tools are the burden of personnel & cost - Summarize the quality reports and handle outstanding quality issues The following meeting must review and reevaluate the previous meeting and have the results and timelines for implementation Poor Material handling - Process of storing and transporting raw materials between stages Check the quality of input materials and delivery - between stages - Specification of materials, semi-finished products, complete products - Preservation cover, cover must be guaranteed Inferior quality of raw material - Low quality of raw materials and accessories affect product quality and increase production cost - Check the quality of material and sub-material with supplier, Pre-production test - Respond to the vendor in case the defective rate is too high Communication Gap - Information is not passed to the right person on right time: All the pictures and reports of the customer need to be sent to the person who made the report directly need to transfer information to the concerned person as soon as possible - Information passed but is not understood by the users: Guide, discuss the problem and come up with a solution Have specific data / commit to handle and control, compare after treatment - Incomplete information: Not enough information before production & update information change Non- maintenance machines - Cutting defects, sewing defects, and pressing defects may generate due to faulty machines You should ensure that no malfunctioning machine should be in the line All you need to have machine maintenance plan as prevention procedure As an example, you can use machine maintenance tag hanged on the thread spool stand that ensures machine maintenance is done on regular interval - Use broken equipment / Use old, outdated equipment Skills of people - Team leader, technical are experienced but not knowledgeable about Lean, Lean-5S -> Training for production staff - Establish IE team to study time and improve production technology - Operators are the subject of the production process so it is important in the management to improve product quality through: workmanship, sense, creativity Train new operators, retrain older operators, checked the workmanship/skills Untrained checking personnel at Check points - QC is the decision maker for the product to pass or fail, so they must be thoroughly trained & tested if not guaranteed to remove QC capacity must be able to provide corrective measures for workers, rework and prevent - Promote quality control of each step to prevent defects arising from the beginning - Assignment of clear QC responsibilities to each department: High end defective rate is inline -QC’s responsibility, Finishing defective rate is endline QC’s responsibility, Pre-Final failure is finishing QC’s responsibility Untidy floor and workshops - A tidy floor and clean machine beds make a lot of difference in quality of your garments Few common defects like hard stains, soil marks, and oil spots found in garment, are result of untidy floors and dirty and dusty machines - Seriously implemented 5S at workplace 10 Production team biased on quantity than quality - We are doing exports order There is always pressure for making production faster Production managers and supervisors know very well that how to manage production pressure And as result they are more concerned about quantity to be made at the end of the day - Production does not ignore the quality but all the defects are causing waste of production costs, time, raw materials Correction time is always more than the right time from the beginning There are even irreparable errors - The view of running by the number leads the quality to a decrease / There should be change of thinking about the relationship between quantity and quality Good quality also make quantity increase automatically  ... workplace 10 Production team biased on quantity than quality -
