2.2. IN PROCESS INSPECTION
The process of inspection of the various parts of a garment before joining is called in-process inspection.
In garments industry, inspection is done in each section starting from spreading to finishing. The main objective
of in-process inspection is to identify the defects in the primary stages of various sections and to adopt the
necessary steps to rectify the defects. Because, the defects detected as earlier, its rectification cost will be lesser.
In order to control the quality of garments, the measures that can be adopted in the steps of garments making,
are discussed below in steps:
2.2.1. Marker Making
If mistakes or defects occurred in marker making, the quality of garments will be lower. So all the matters involved
in marker making, should be inspected properly. As for example, need to examine whether the labeling or code
numbers have been placed properly in each of the patterns drawn in the marker.
2.2.2. Fabric Spreading
The defects during spreading of the fabrics, for which the quality of garments may be lower, should be taken care
at the time of spreading of fabrics. As for example, during spreading, fabric should be spread as per the length
and width of the marker and the edges of fabric both in the directions of length and in width have to be aligned.
Otherwise, the wastage of the fabric will increase.

2.2.3. Fabric Cutting
The most important precondition for making of high quality garments is the cutting of fabrics in high quality. So
the factors related to fabric cutting, should be inspected carefully. As for example, whether the dimension of the
patterns and the cut fabrics are exactly same or not should be inspected.
2.2.4. Fabric Sewing
In garments manufacturing industries, the most specious and the most important section is the fabric sewing
section. The jobs of each sewing machine operator of this section should be regularly inspected, and specially,
it is to be specified that up to what level of faults in each job is acceptable, and always arrangements should be
made for identifying the defects through inspection, and to adopt measures for rectifications, and to control the
defects.
2.2.5. Pressing or Finishing

The main objective of pressing or finishing is to make arrangement so that garments look good, because, in most
of the cases a customer takes the buying decision of the garment based on whether it looks good or not though
buying of a garment also depends on its price, quality, standard etc. For this reason, pressing or finishing is very
much important.
2.3. Final Inspection

In the final inspection, mainly the whole inspection of garments is done, because, before this stage, there is no
opportunity to do inspection of a complete garment. This final inspection is very much important from the buyers
end. In this final inspection, mainly the size of the garments, form fitting, and the defects of the garments are
inspected.
3.1. Various Methods of Inspection Systems for Apparels:
The following are the available sampling-methods that are widely used for ensuring the desired quality of garments
manufactured by using various types of fabric:
1 No inspection,
2 100% Inspection,

3 Spot Checking,
4 Arbitrary Sampling,
5 Acceptance Sampling.
All the above Sampling methods have discussed in the following:
