Quality Control and Inspection Report
Part 1  Methods of Inspection
      The inspection activity of itself adds nothing to the product. It is only a means
by which information is obtained as a basis for further action.
      Effective inspection involves six main functions:
      (1) Select   the item for inspection, may be a component, subassembly or
finished item;
      (2) Define  the standard required, specifications, samples, sketches, diagrams;
      (3) Examine  the item critically by observation, measurement or quantitative
evaluation testing;
      (4) Compare  the observation with the defined standard;
      (5) Decide  accepting or not;
      (6) Action   the item according to the decision, return for correction, go
forward to stock or to next operation etc.
      Each of these activities must be completed if inspection is to be effective.
Inspection is "the obtaining of information" about the item or product, Whether the
information is useful to the quality control will determine how effective the
inspection is.
      Various methods of carrying out the "inspection" function are in use in the
garment industry. The selection of an appropriate method will be governed by specific
circumstances and aims. Some methods are more suitable for the prevention of errors
or faults, some for controlling the quality of production, and others for determining
the quality level of the finished product.
     Inspection Methods in common use in the garment industry are:
      ( 1 ) Final inspection;
    (2) In process inspection;
      (3) Centralized inspection;
      (4) Patrol inspection;
      (5) Sampling inspection;
      (6) Directed sampling inspection;
      (7) Pre-production inspection;
      ( 8 ) Total quality control ( quality assurance).
      Most garment factories use one or a combination of these methods.
