Pre-Production (PP Checking ) Next :

This inspection should be conducted when no more than 20% of production is completed.
The frequency of DUPRO inspection depends on the size of the order and results of the first DUPRO.
At this stage the inspection should be focusing on whether garments are cut to specification, whether the overall workmanship is of an acceptable level and whether the production is running as the initial schedule.

1. Meeting with the factory management

• To review updated SIP
• To review the production status
• To review the factory self Report for self In-line Inspection
• Result feed back for the issues that raised at the TCPS Initial Inspection stage
• Pre-review the packing method to the packing requirement and details in SIPSampling Plan

  Single Sampling Plan for normal inspection level II

  Defect Criteria

  Critical Defect =1.0 point

  Major Defect = 0.5 point

  * Only one defect is counted and no more than 1 point is scored on one garment.

Workmanship Audit

The garments are inspected pc by pc at a correct sample size for defects in design, constriction, workmanship, material, color, labels, safety, pressing, and finish. Problems discovered in finished garments should be tracked back into the cutting/sewing line to? be reviewed and corrected.

Measurement Audit minimum of four (4) pieces per size for all sizes must be covered by the pull. This audit must cover all measurement points. The total number of the first pull must add up to 4,8,13,20,32 or 50.
