Quality Control (QC)

• Supervise and guide QC inspectors daily (in-line, end-line, final inspection).
• Ensure garments match approved sample, tech pack, and measurement chart (with tolerance).
• Identify and classify defects (critical / major / minor).
• Segregate rejected garments, coordinate rework with production, and re-check after correction.
• Maintain daily QC records and ensure QC coverage is followed correctly.
• Issue QC clearance before any item is packed.
• Escalate repeated quality issues and root causes to the Production/Operations team.

Packing & Finishing Control

• Oversee packing as per company/client standards: folding, tagging, polybagging, sealing, carton packing.
• Verify style-wise, size-wise, color-wise quantities before sealing cartons.
• Ensure packing area is clean, organised, and compliant with standards.
• Monitor packing materials (polybags, cartons, tissues, stickers) and report shortages in advance.

Documentation & Reporting (VERY IMPORTANT)

• Prepare and maintain:
• Daily QC report
• Rejection & rework report
• Final packed quantity report
• Create packing lists for each order (style code/name, size breakdown, quantities).
• Label cartons/boxes clearly with required information:
• Style code / style name
• Size range & breakdown
• Total quantity per carton
• Client/order reference
• Carton number (e.g., 1/5, 2/5…)
• Coordinate dispatch-ready handover with store/logistics team.

Coordination & Team Control

• Allocate manpower between QC and packing based on daily priority.
• Train QC team on measurement methods and defect standards.
• Ensure no packing happens without QC approval.
• Communicate mismatches, delays, or missing items immediately to management.
