MinCharm manages apparel quality control against the approved sample and confirmed production specifications. The process includes pre-production checks, in-process inspection, measurement and workmanship review, and 100% finished-garment inspection before shipment. AQL 2.5 is used as a reference for order-level sampling and acceptance evaluation, separately from individual garment inspection.
What is checked before and during production?
Before bulk production, MinCharm reviews the approved sample, measurement specifications, materials, colors, construction, branding, trims, and packaging requirements. These confirmed references provide the basis for production checks.
During manufacturing, relevant garment measurements, construction details, stitching, workmanship, and product consistency are reviewed against the approved requirements. Inspection points depend on the garment design and the buyer’s confirmed specifications.
What does 100% finished-garment inspection mean?
Finished garments are checked individually before shipment, with inspection points determined by the product and agreed requirements. Relevant checks may cover finished appearance, construction, visible workmanship, branding, labels, and other specified garment details.
Packaging, identification, quantity, and size or color assortment are also reviewed against the confirmed order requirements. Measurement checks follow the agreed specifications and inspection scope.
100% inspection means garment-by-garment checking. It should not be interpreted as a zero-defect guarantee.
How is AQL 2.5 used?
AQL 2.5 is used as a reference within the sampling and acceptance evaluation of a production order. It serves a different purpose from checking garments individually.
The applicable sampling plan, defect criteria, and acceptance requirements should be confirmed for the order. Buyer-specific inspection requirements can be reviewed before production and incorporated where agreed.
What happens if a quality issue is identified?
The issue is reviewed against the approved sample, confirmed specifications, and relevant order requirements. Depending on its type, extent, and production stage, follow-up may include correction, rework, or additional checking.
Relevant garments or requirements are rechecked where further verification is needed before shipment.
