The faults and effects

FAULT EXPLANATION EFFECT
1. Size difference A difference in the size of the pieces Repetition of the spreading-cutting processes
2. Barcode The attached barcode does not belong to the product. The delivery of the product to a different warehouse
3. Fabric Fault Defects on the fabric affect the quality of the product Disassemble process, repetition of the spreading-cutting processes
4. Button Broken, incorrect, unsewn or improper positioning of the buttons Disassemble process or re-sewing, productivity loss
5. Label Incorrect, defected or incorrect positioning Disassemble process and re-sewing, productivity loss
6. Needle Unsuitable needle for the fabric or the yarn Damage to the product, re-cutting and re-sewing processes, fabric waste, cost increase
7. Button hole Unsuitable position, number or type Damage to the product, re-cutting and re-sewing processes, fabric waste, cost increase
8. Yarn Yarn knitting, knotting or fringing Loss of productivity and quality
9. Seam Fault Seam faults, such as skipping or disassembling Re-sewing, loss of productivity and time
10. Stain Colour changes occurred on the product due to various reasons Loss of productivity and time
11. Cuff form Position, sewing, ironing or size-related defects Labour, time and productivity loss
12. Position Not settling the product pieces at specified lines or levels Labour, time and productivity loss
13. Colour difference Colour mismatch between product parts Productivity loss, re-cutting and re-sewing processes, fabric waste, cost increase
14. Disassembly Stitch defect between parts, button, buttonhole and hemline Labour, time and productivity loss
15. Fibre flies Adhesion of fly fibers on the products Productivity loss
16. Interlining resin traces on fabric surface Non-sticking or -tracing the interlining resin on the fabric surface Labour, time and productivity loss
17. Collar tip form Wrong positioning of the collar and visible seam allowance Productivity loss
