Ignoring the quality of garment enterprises, is suicide?

"We must not neglect the quality in order to reduce costs, otherwise it is suicide or murder, killing ourselves is suicide, killing all of us and killing people," said Ren Zhengfei.

Judging from the current situation of market competition, quality has become one of the most important factors for modern enterprises to gain a favorable competitive position, establish long-term development and make enterprises succeed. This point has also been more and more enterprises recognized, and have put forward their own slogan to improve quality. Such as the United States General Motors proposed "let the quality of the road", Ford's "quality is the first job" and so on.

In contrast, one of the ubiquitous problems of Chinese enterprises is that the quality of their products is not high, and they often rely on the price advantage brought by low cost to participate in international competition. Abroad, our products are cheap and poor symbols. This will not only not conducive to the image of their own businesses, but also easily lead to anti-dumping litigation in other countries, thus affecting the development of China's enterprise globalization.

So in the entire garment manufacturing industry is not very good on the basis of the economy, how we should enhance the efficiency of the factory, while reducing costs but also ensure the quality of garments.

First of all, we need to find out the reasons that cause defective clothing, determine the main quality problems caused by clothing, and eliminate and reduce these factors that affect the quality of clothing.

Clothing quality improvement is a battle with the unknown situation, but also an important way to learn and explore the clothing world. Only to produce high quality garments, we can ensure that each of our consumers wear a beautiful, safe and secure.

Costume quality management trilogy.

To solve garment quality crisis, it needs to break the traditional ideas, fundamentally transform traditional clothing quality management system, in accordance with the new routes to act, this route is the juran "trilogy". 

The quality plan

The quality plan is the process of planning and deploying the various activities necessary to achieve these goals by defining the quality objectives to be achieved in the product and service. A pair of jeans, for example, customer wearing comfortable, wash up and won't rub off, wear two years will not break, in order to achieve these goals, on the material of jeans, wash water, sewing production deployment and plans, such as what material, what kind of equipment, how to detect, and so on. Through the clothing quality planning activities, enterprises should make clear who their customers are, what their customers need, and what characteristics they must have to satisfy their customers' needs. Based on this, must also be set to meet the requirements of both customer and supplier quality objectives, development to achieve necessary to the process and technology of the clothing quality objectives, to ensure that the process under the condition of a given operation has the ability to reach the goal for the final produce to meet the requirements of customers clothing and service to lay a solid foundation.

The quality control

Quality control refers to the process of setting control standards, measuring the actual situation and taking measures to correct deviations. For example, the size table of the garment is generally prescribed, and the product is not qualified if the deviation is exceeded. This is the quality control of clothing.

Quality improvement

Quality improvement refers to the process of breaking through the original plan to achieve the unprecedented quality level. There are three ways to realize garment quality improvement: the first is the process by eliminating lead to deviation from the standard quality of accidental fault, which controls the process to restore to the original state, for example, we improve the flat car, make the stitch distance and stitching density meets the requirements, etc.; The second is by eliminating the long-term quality fault current increase quality to a new level, such as various machinery and equipment preventive maintenance clothing workshop, change the long-term use of wear parts need to be replaced; The third is the introduction of new products, new process from planning (design) began to eliminate chronic failure and accidental failure could lead to new possibilities, such as buying automatic cutting equipment, make our cutting precision to remove the influence of artificial factors.

In the trilogy of clothing quality management, clothing quality plan has been clear about the clothing quality management to achieve the goal of, and the ways to achieve these goals, is the premise and foundation garment quality management; Clothing quality control ensures that things are carried out according to the plan, which is the guarantee of achieving the quality goal of clothing; The improvement of clothing quality means a leap in the quality of garments, which indicates that the quality of clothing is constantly climbing and improving in a spiral way.

These three phases complement each other.

Set up QC improvement group.

QC to improve the group activities is to point to by the same people spontaneously organized to work site, with mutual inspiration, ideas, respect individuality, thinking and to use QC technique, quality problems and after-sales service, the processing of the enterprise continuously improve to maintain activities such as homework. 

The QC improvement activity group can be divided into the following categories.

The site type

To maintain the quality of clothing, the main features of the team are small topics, low difficulty, short period and not great benefit.

service

In order to improve the quality of clothing, the main characteristics of the group are small task, low difficulty, short period and obvious benefit of workshop.

Research type

To solve the key problem of technology in three ways, the main features are difficulty, long period, high investment and significant economic benefit.

managed

It is composed of the management personnel of the garment factory to solve the problem of clothing management. The main features are different sizes, different difficulties and different effects.QC

The basic way to improve the activity group's problem solving is:

Set the goal, grasp the status quo, analyze the problem, review and implement the improvement, master the improvement effect, standardize.

Actually to really will clothing factory efficiency increase, enterprises have a greater development, JIT lean production - "zero waste", at the time of need, according to the need of production need products, requires the production of a variety of products must be flexible to adapt to the change of market demand, otherwise it will cause the waste of resources. In order to reduce or even avoid such unnecessary waste, it is necessary to implement appropriate and appropriate production. The JIT production method breaks the traditional mode of production and considers that the quality and cost are inversely related. Through the quality management through each process, the high quality and low cost of the product are realized.

Usually, the quality management method only tests the product in the last process, which can't prevent the unqualified recurrence. Because if not immediately stop production after found the problem, it will continue to appear similar problem, also can appear "defect" superposition phenomenon, increase the frequency of the final inspection, virtually increased costs. JIT production methods will immediately stop production and analyze and improve. Over time, there are fewer and fewer problems in production, and the quality of the production process of enterprises is gradually enhanced.
