  1. Introduction<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n

    Final\u00a0 inspection\u00a0 is\u00a0 the\u00a0 last\u00a0 steps\u00a0 of\u00a0 garment\u00a0 inspection\u00a0 system.\u00a0 In\u00a0 this\u00a0 stage\u00a0 complete garments are inspected by buyer. Different parts of garments are inspected in this stage such as garments main fabric, accessories, trims, label, fabric faults etc. There are various systems for final inspection in the garment industry. Final inspection is very important for an export order shipment.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

    Final inspection <\/a>also consists of inspecting finished garments from the buyer\u2019s point of view, size measurements, form fitting (putting garments on the proper size mannequins to see if they properly fit labeled sizes); and live modeling if necessary (again to see if the garments properly fit the labeled sizes). Final inspection may occur before or after garments are packed in poly bags and cartons. If it is done after garments packed, then proper size and style markings on the package will also be checked.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

    Buyers always try to ensure that goods delivered to them by the manufacturer must complete with the specified quality standard.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

    In this system, buyer defines quality standard of goods. Buyer worried only about those major defects which may damage functional quality of goods and thus their sale ability. Renowned buyers generally supply inspecting team with a list of such major defects and inform of the Inspection Sampling Plan that must be pursued.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      \r\n \t
    1. Garment Inspection<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      The inspections are done to control the quality is means by examining the products without any instruments. To examine the fabric, sewing, button, thread, <\/a>zipper, garments measurements and so on according to specification is called inspection. There are so many facilities for inspection in every section of garments industries. The aim of inspection is to reduce the time and cost by identifying the faults or defects in every step of garments making.<\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

      \r\n\r\nInspection Procedure of Garments isas follows:\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nI. Confirmation of Quantity:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      First step of garment inspection <\/a>start with confirmation of Quantity with the vendors packing list by counting all pieces of each box. If Quantity is not matching to the packing list and written in the box then this discrepancy is informed to the buyer.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nII. Confirmation of Accessories:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      Next step is the confirmation of accessories, <\/a>such as sewing thread, buttons, zippers, lining, etc as specified by the buyer andall labels are evaluated based on the specifications outlined in\u00a0 specification sheet for correct brand name, fibre content, care instruction and country of origin and its placement.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nIII. Measurements:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      Garment measuring is included in the inspection. After confirmation of accessories a minimum of 13 pieces for one order must be measured with at least 1 piece of each size and colour being selected for measuring. All pieces aremeasured as per size specification sheet which is given by the buyer side. If any measurement problem is noticed then we check the original sample and inform the buyer same time.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

      Measurements out of tolerance are unacceptable and should be marked with a circle on the report as a minor defect. Jumping out of grade should be marked with a triangle as a major defect. If one garment has two or more major defects only, it should be marked as one major defect, and if there are two minor defects in a different garment while in the same size, it should be accounted as one major defect.<\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

        \r\n \t
      1. In Side Inspection:<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

        At this stage garment is checked from reverse side to ensure that there is no fabric defect, poorstitching, <\/a>and stains etc in the garment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

          \r\n \t
        1. Out Side Inspection:<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

          At this stage garment is checked from outside to ensure that there is no color variation, weaving defect, fabric defect, printing defect, holes, poor stitching, bad smell , dying defect and stains etc in the garment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

            \r\n \t
          1. Final Inspection:<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

            Final Inspection stage is the most important part of inspection process, here garment is rechecked to confirm that inspection is done properly without missing any checking step. VII. Packing:<\/p>\r\n \r\n

            All \u201cGrade-A\u201d goods are put back into poly bags as per the original packaging and then they are send for needle inspection.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

            So, depending on the quality of defect some garments are send for repair and some are rejected.During inspection defects are classified into 3 categories:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

            1. Garment Defects<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

              In practice, three types of defects are categorized such as critical, major and minor depending on the severity. To determine whether a defect is major or minor, the following factors are to be considered:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
