Analysis of top most defects in cutting department to ensure the quality of readymade garments in the apparel industry.

Abstract

This project is analysis of top most defects in cutting department to ensure the quality of readymade garments in the apparel industry. Defects of fabric in cut parts can reduce the quality of garments. So it is necessary to control defect % of cut parts. These defects persist despite of several visual inspections and intensive efforts to replace defective parts in replacement table. The increased use of automation in assembly steps will intensify the problem of detection and removal of fabric defects in cut-parts. Workers of QC table in cutting room always try to detect and replace the defective cut-parts from the same fabric role and after replaced this curt part, it’s placed in the particular bundle according to serial number of cut part. Different types of defects (like as, Hole, Slub, Knot, Thick yarn, Spot, Dye effect etc.) are found in fabric cut parts by QC workers, then replace the defective cut parts and send the acceptable bundle of fabric to the sewing section. The workers records hourly cut part inspection data after every hour and estimated the defect percentages, So that it could be known about quality of fabric and this calculation help to maintain quality of cut part fabric. All collected data of fabric cut part are inputted on this report and show also number of defects for every particular defect with calculated of defect percentages. For this research we are collected 26 days data of top most defect in cutting department from “Goldtex garments Ltd.” Which is located at Old EPZ, Savar, Dhaka.
