Defect Classification - During Inspection (Color Defects)

During inspection many times we got some defects. All the defect are not same and not have the same importance. Out of these defect some are major and some defect is minor.

Many times we become confused to take a decision that, which is major and which minor. Today I am going to share some information with all of you regarding this issue. Also, I am going to share a list defects with major and minor classification. In this regards please note, these classifications are not fixed, it can be varied based on buyer view.

Major Defect: Anything which adversely affects the appearance, performance, including fit or customer satisfaction to a degree that would provide a discerning customer with justification for non-purchase, a return or complaint .

Minor Defect: Any variation from a standard which is not sufficient in degree to be classified as major

  Thanks for sharing. In my humble opinion, color defects are one of the most difficult defects to classify. How to define the tolerances of mismatching of colors? Color is measurable, indeed, but this is not the "real visibility", a customer has.
  How important is color quality to the total garment quality, which also includes fitting, stitching etc.?

  Yes, I am totally agree with you that, color defect are one of the most difficult defect to classify. Though we can measure the color difference by photo meter but I think still it is not hundred percent correct. Many times I saw that, photo meter is saying it is ok but my eyes saying it is not.
  
  I think stitching mismatching is the main problem. Because the end customer didn't know that, which were the correct/approved shade but if the stitching are not matching with the main fabric then his eyes will notice him or her. And we always face some problem regarding the stitching colors, because maximum time we use hundred percent polyester sewing thread to stitch the garments. So, it's always become little bit shiny than the cotton main fabric.
  
  Though the end customer has no idea regarding the approved shade but there could be also raise problem if the shade has some historical/social standard. Like as - Flag color of any country, Jersey color of any team, Logo of any company.
  
  Also little shade difference could make whole garments ugly. Many time I found the shade is almost same but one is more attractive than others due to little difference. Here, in this point photo meter become useless. It could measure the deepness and lightness of the shade but unable to recognize the attractiveness!!!
  
  Thanks

You, I and Bangladeshi Garments Worker !!!

It's nothing but our bad luck that still we are facing problem like Toba Garments. Today the whole economic system of Bangladesh is depending on this garment industry, but what we are giving to the worker of this garments sector. Nothing except harassment.

There is no value of their labor to us. We are totally failing to give them their rights. We are just playing with them.

Many other peoples who are not directly involved with this garments sector, they also need to know that, if the garment industry doesn't exist then theirs honeymoon also will not exist longer.

Today we are sending most of our children to school, today we are getting enough food and electricity, medical facilities only for this garments sector. So, there is no way to ignore this sector, whether you are directly involved or not.

One thing we all have to understand that, they are not asking for any penny from our pocket. They are just asking for their wages.

We have to make a long term plan to solve this issue immediately. If that kind of problem raises every time. Then we must lose the market. We will not get the favor every-time from the customer.

For my job purpose many times I meet with many European clients. And I understand it clearly that, many of them are working with Bangladeshi factories only for the GSP facilities.

Our neighbor country India is trying heart and soul to get the GSP facilities from the  European Union, and in other hands we are playing games with this important sector. India, Cambodia and some more countries have already taken some long term plan to control and grab this apparel market. But what we are doing?? We are trying to down this sector. Since last 4/5 years we have not seen any new big investment in Industrial level.

It's for sure if India gets the GSP then it will take only one season to reduce our 30 percent order Qty, if we didn't not changed our policy.

The bad days are coming and we have to prepared ourselves for its.

Sincerely
Enamul Haque Bipul
