## 📋 QUALITY CHECKPOINTS: COMPLETE PROCESS

### Stage 1: Yarn Selection & Verification

Every production run starts with premium yarn:

  • Supplier Audits: Approved suppliers only
  • Yarn Types: Combed cotton, RG (rotor-spun), Autocoro yarns
  • Fiber Quality: Visual inspection and lab testing
  • Specifications Check: Count, twist, strength verified
  • Batch Tracking: Full traceability from supplier
  • Storage: Humidity-controlled environment (critical for cotton)

### Stage 2: Circular Knitting Monitoring

Real-time quality during fabric production:

  • Machine Calibration: Daily tension and speed verification
  • Inline Inspection: Operators watch for defects during knitting
  • Needle Health: Regular replacement to prevent run-downs
  • Yarn Breaks: Immediate investigation when yarn breaks occur
  • Sample Rolls: Test rolls from each batch

### Stage 3: Greige Fabric Inspection (Pre-Dyeing)

100% inspection of knitted greige fabric:

  • Fabric Checking Machines: Automated defect detection
  • Weight Verification: GSM consistency checked
  • Width Measurement: Uniform width across batch
  • Defect Reporting: All issues documented and flagged
  • Color Grading: Only best-quality greige moves to dyeing
  • Rejection Criteria: Clear standards for acceptable vs. reject

### Stage 4: Dyeing & Finishing (M.R. Garment Industries)

Sister concern’s specialized dyeing facility handles color & finishing:

  • Lab Dips: Small-scale color samples (2-3 days) for approval before production
  • Dye Consistency: Temperature ±2°C control for color matching
  • Batch Dyeing: Systematic tracking of dye formulations
  • Finishing Treatments: Softening, shrinkage control, anti-pilling
  • Lab Testing: Colorfastness, shrinkage, pilling resistance verified post-dyeing
  • Quality Certificates: Test results provided for all dyed lots

All dyeing and finishing coordinated through: M.R. Garment Industries Pvt Ltd, S.I.T.E., Karachi

### Stage 5: Dyed Fabric Inspection

Critical inspection after dyeing:

  • Color Verification: Matches approved lab dip sample
  • Uniformity Check: No color variations across batch
  • Defect Scanning: 100% fabric inspection for defects introduced during dyeing
  • Specifications: Weight, shrinkage, width verified against standards
  • Storage: Dyed fabric stored in controlled conditions

### Stage 6: Cutting Department QC

Quality before stitching:

  • Pattern Accuracy: Patterns graded correctly for each size
  • Defect Avoidance: Cutters instructed to avoid marked defects
  • Seam Allowances: Consistent margins for proper seaming
  • Lay Optimization: Efficient fabric utilization
  • Cut Piece Inspection: Visual check before bundling for stitching

### Stage 7: Stitching QC

In-process quality during garment assembly:

  • Machine Maintenance: Regular servicing of stitching equipment
  • Stitch Quality: Seam strength and uniformity checked frequently
  • Thread Quality: Premium thread only; no cheap alternatives
  • Operator Training: Skilled stitchers trained on quality standards
  • First-Piece Inspection: First 10 pieces from each batch examined by QC
  • Random Sampling: Continuous spot-checks during production

### Stage 8: Final Product Inspection

100% inspection before packing:

Visual Inspection Checklist

  • Color consistency and vibrancy
  • All seams straight and even
  • No holes, tears, or stains
  • Buttons/zippers secure and functional
  • Hems and edges finished properly
  • Labels correctly attached and legible
  • No loose threads or defects
  • Size/fit verification (measure key dimensions)

Durability Testing (Sample from Each Batch)

Seam Strength Test Pull force on seams (minimum standards)
Color Fastness Wash fastness (AATCC 61 standard)
Pilling Test Mechanical pilling resistance
Shrinkage Verification Wash and dry dimensions (±3%)
Tensile Strength Fabric pulling force in MD/CD directions

### Stage 9: Packaging & Storage

Final quality gate before shipment:

  • Packaging Inspection: Bags, cartons, labels checked
  • Label Accuracy: Size, color, quantity verified
  • Weight Verification: Carton weights consistent
  • Barcode Scanning: SKU accuracy for tracking
  • Storage Conditions: Climate-controlled warehouse
  • Documentation: Packing lists and shipment papers verified
