Concrete agreements and proper monitoring are essential for quality improvement. The perfect tool: AQL.
IN-COMPANY
Today’s consumer is critical; good quality is a must. No matter how beautiful the design is, in the end, fabric flaws, crooked seams, broken accessories, stains, falling off buttons and other ‘defects’ from the manufacturing process can cause the product not to catch on after all, or the number of returns and complaints to rise too much. Reputational damage and customer loss are likely. Moreover, it can affect durability and occasionally the product is even dangerous for the user concerned. Efficient handling of quality reports and issues requires good agreements on the quality level, checks and communication. A handy tool is AQL, a globally accepted standard, with statistical backgrounds.
