    This document discusses quality control and quality assurance in apparel manufacturing. It begins by explaining the hierarchy of quality from inspection to total quality management. It then defines quality control as a process that reviews all production factors, emphasizing controls, competence, and organizational culture. Quality control includes product inspection. The document also defines quality assurance as administrative activities implemented to fulfill requirements and prevent defects. It notes quality assurance attempts to improve processes while quality control focuses on outputs. Finally, it lists the intrinsic qualities of garments as performance, features, reliability, and durability.

    Q. Explain the following:


    A. Quality Control:
    As principle of quality developed, it was understood to be a part of hierarchical
    process which saw inspection develop through to quality control, within the
    context of systems of quality assurance under the wider management approach
    of total quality management.

    Hierarchy of quality

    Quality control: Quality control, or QC for short, is a process


    by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in
    production. This approach places an emphasis on three aspects:
    1. Elements such as controls, job management, defined and well
    managed processes, performance and integrity criteria, and
    identification of records
    2. Competence, such as knowledge, skills, experience, and
    qualifications
    3. Soft elements, such as
    personnel, integrity, confidence, organizational
    culture, motivation, team spirit, and quality relationships.
    Controls include product inspection, where every product is examined
    visually, and often using a stereo microscope for fine detail before the
    product is sold into the external market. Inspectors will be provided
    with lists and descriptions of unacceptable product defects such
    as cracks or surface blemishes for example.
    The quality of the outputs is at risk if any of these three aspects is
    deficient in any way.
    Quality control emphasizes testing of products to uncover defects and
    reporting to management who make the decision to allow or deny
    product release, whereas quality assurance attempts to improve and
    stabilize production (and associated processes) to avoid, or at least
    minimize, issues which led to the defect(s) in the first place. For
    contract work, particularly work awarded by government agencies,
    quality control issues are among the top reasons for not renewing a
    contract.

    B.

    Quality Assurance: Quality Assurance (QA) is a way of

    preventing mistakes or defects in manufactured products and avoiding


    problems when delivering solutions or services to customers. QA is
    applied to physical products in pre-production to verify what will be
    made meets specifications and requirements, and during
    manufacturing production runs by validating lot samples meet
    specified quality controls. QA is also applied to software to verify that
    features and functionality meet business objectives, and that code is
    relatively bug free prior to shipping or releasing new software products
    and versions.
    Quality Assurance refers to administrative and procedural activities
    implemented in a quality system so that requirements and goals for a
    product, service or activity will be fulfilled. It is the systematic
    measurement, comparison with a standard, monitoring of processes
    and an associated feedback loop that confers error prevention. This
    can be contrasted with quality control, which is focused on process
    output.

    C. What are the intrinsic features of garments?


    Quality has the specific dimensions which can be distinguished in the form of
    manufacturing and service sectors. Well developed quality systems have existed
    in manufacturing for some times. These systems primarily focus on the
    technical issues such as equipment, reliability, inspection, defects, and
    measurement control.
    The various intrinsic qualities of garments are: Performance: A garment primary operating characteristic.
    Features: The garment secondary characteristic that supplements the
    basic functioning of the garments.
    Reliability: The probability of a garment surviving over a specified
    period of time under stated condition of use.

    Durability: The amount of use one gets from a product before it


    physically deteriorates or until replacement is preferable.
