Controlling the quality of apparel manufacturing when producing in countries like Vietnam can make or break your brand. I explain basic quality control concepts, share practical advice and introduce you to quality control companies that can save your shirt. I cover concepts like AQL and the 4 point fabric inspection method which you need to understand when producing garments in a foreign sewing factory. I discuss fabric tests that companies like SGS or Intertek can do for you. I explain when to inspect during production and what to inspect on each garment. Since we live in the digital age, apparel brands have the option of using QC software like Pivot 88 or Inspectorio which I introduce you to. They can save you time by identifying problems in real-time and solving them within 24 hours.
