Quality control in overseas apparel manufacturing

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify quality control problems and causes of these problems associated with overseas apparel manufacturing. Apparel exporters and fabricators in seven Asian countries were visited. Through content analysis, four major problem categories were identified, which included construction, finishing, materials and fit. These problems appeared to be due to seven causes: (i) not following specifications, (ii) production method, (iii) management, (iv) facilities and equipment, (v) skills of workers, (vi) governmental structure and resource availability, and (vii) culture.
