Hi all,

Interesting case study that I've been working on.

We are currently working with a major USA importer of garments from China and Vietnam.

When they first approached us, they were enduring endless quality issues and tolerance non-conformities.

We put together an inspection program for them, with weekly DUPRO & Final Random Inspections. Over the course of the last four months, we have done analysis and have seen a marked improvement in the quality, with just an occasional failure in AQL. This has had a two-fold benefit: 1. - the USA client is having to make fewer trips to China, his onward clients are more satisfied. 2. - The supplier/factory is happier as well, as they are having to pay less compensation for defective shipments, the client is off their backs. A nice win-win situation.

This is not to say that it is fool-proof, that is why even though the quality is better, the USA client is persisting with the inspection program.

Cheers,
Max
