3. What is TQM?
Total Quality Management is the integration of all
functions and processes within an organization in order
to achieve continuous improvement of the quality of
goods and services.
It engages all divisions, departments and levels of the
organization. This will be required at every stage of
manufacture.
4. Why TQM?
TQM improves the process performance of the critical operational
process, leading to better utilization of resources, decreases
variations and maintains consistent quality of the process output.
To achieve the overall objective in minimizing defects and rejection
of finished products it is needed to establish document and
maintain a system capable of ensuring that products conform in
total to standards specifications.
It also minimizes cost and improves internal throughput time.
5. Purpose of Implementing TQM
TQM focuses on long-term success through identifying and prioritizing
customer requirements, setting & aligning goals, and providing deliverables
that warrant customer satisfaction.
Operational wastages in the Apparel manufacturing process are - top
surface rework, label reworks, sewing defects, fabric defects, and other
reworks (Non-Productive activities). Through TQM, we can effectively
minimize reworks, rejection rate and waste of time that will ultimately
increase productivity.
To improve productivity as well as product quality.

PREVENTION COSTS are all costs to prevent poor quality in products. They include quality
planning costs, quality improvement projects, quality education etc.,
APPRAISAL COSTS are incurred in the process to assure conformance to quality standards and
performance requirements. They include cost of quality inspections, product testing, calibrating
and performing audits to make sure that quality standards are being met.
INTERNAL FAILURE COSTS are due to sewing rework, garment left over due to poor quality,
fabric rejections due to poor quality, air shipments due to quality failures.
EXTERNAL FAILURE COSTS are contributed by claims, & discounts on packing failure,
workmanship failures, stains, damages, etc., Lose of sale due to short quantities; discounts on

IMPACT OF COPQ
Poor quality creates dissatisfied customers and eventually leads to loss of
business.
A defect, which is found by the customer, costs a lot to the organization
because, rework / rejection cost at the customer end is always very high.
Poor first pass quality across the throughput is the primary cause for high COPQ. By reducing the COPQ, the
manufacturing costs can be drastically brought down. A reduction in COPQ can be achieved by improving first
pass quality. So instead of focusing only on productivity or quality control by inspection originations, should
focus on “right first time” approach.

16. DMAIC
ANALYZE
DMAIC methodology of six sigma is a problem solving method where six sigma tools
are used to analyze the process data and finally the root causes behind the defects
produce in the product are identified.
Six sigma is a quality improvement process of final product by reducing the defects,
minimizing the variation and improving capability in the manufacturing process.
The use of statistics in DMAIC provides better insight into the process performance,
and process control. Based upon the critical review, process dimensions (average
outgoing quality limit (AOQL),DPMO (Defects per million opportunity) critical to SCM
performance were identified.
It is a systematic approach towards defects minimization through five phases of
DMAIC methodology named define, measure, analyze, improve and control.

Pareto analysis: Identifying the key problems
Define Measure Analyze Improve Control
Pareto analysis Chart is used to graphically summarize and display the contribution of each
type of defect. The logic behind Pareto analysis is that only a few quality problems are
important, whereas many others are not critical. This concept is also called the 80–20 rule.
Pareto analysis is to develop a chart that ranks the causes of poor quality in decreasing
order based on the percentage of defects each has caused.
According to Pareto’s principle is that most quality problems are a result of only a few
causes. The trick is to identify these causes.
The lengths of the bars represent occurrence and are organized with longest bars on the
left and the shortest to the right. In this way the chart visually shows which defects are
more significant.

Define Measure Analyze Improve Control
Cause-and-effect diagrams are charts that identify potential causes for particular
quality problems. It is also called as fishbone diagrams because they look like the
bones of a fish. The “head” of the fish is the quality problem,
The diagram is drawn so that the “spine” of the fish connects the “head” to the
possible cause of the problem. These causes could be related to the machines,
workers, measurement, suppliers, materials, and many other aspects of the
production process.
Each of these possible causes can then have smaller “bones” that address specific
issues that relate to each cause.
Cause-and-effect diagrams are problem-solving tools commonly used by quality
control teams. Specific causes of problems can be explored through brainstorming.

7/0 QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM Define Measure Analyze Improve Control
Inline QC inspects 7 pieces randomly for each machine operator twice a day. If he
finds any fault among these 7 inspected pcs, the Sewing operator has to inspect
the whole bundle himself and offer inspection again to Inline QC.
If the inspection is fault free, then this sewing operator will undergo follow up
inspection of 03 consecutive bundles. If 03 Follow Up Inspections are ok, the Inline
QC moves to next machine operator.
If during 1st follow up inspection, the Inline QC finds any fault, then the said
sewing operator has to go under 2nd follow up inspection.
If the 2nd follow up fails then operator has to stop the work for two decisions to
be made depending on the nature of the faults (either machine to go under
maintenance or sewing operator to go for training or replacement).

POINT ALLOCATION SYSTEM (PAS):
Define Measure Analyze Improve Control
In this method, workers themselves will be considered as quality controllers. They will evaluate their own
work and will make sure that they produce defect-free products
The required training and awareness will be provided to the workers. Special care would be taken for
tougher job operators so that their defect-rate reaches close to that of easy-job workers. They should attain
the capability of understanding requirements merely by observing the sample and specifications hanged in
the line. For this, Quality Circles may be introduced. Each Quality Circle will include operators of similar
type of jobs led by the most skilled and experienced operator or even by a production supervisor.
Members of the Quality Circles will sit once in a week to discuss their jobs, problems faced as well as share
the solutions with management. Every meeting should have tangible outcome with problems defined and
solutions proposed. Provision might be introduced for rewarding the best effective or creative solution.
Required number of Quality Control Inspectors (QCI) and Supervisors would become less. The floor
supervisor will act like a floating Quality Controller and look after all the line activities and the operators
will consult with him as soon as they find any problem. Each of the workers will be provided with a PAS
Card. Also, the Quality Supervisor will bear some tokens.
41. TOOLS
POINT ALLOCATION SYSTEM (PAS):
Define Measure Analyze Improve ControlThe Application of the PAS Card will be as follows:
A operator will notify Quality Supervisor as soon as he finds a fault in items in hand passed to him from another
operator. The Supervisor will give him one token.
Then, Supervisor will find out the operator, who is accountable for the fault. On the PAS Card of that
operator/worker, under the column 'Number of Faults Committed', the Supervisor will mark a circle.
At the final hour of the day-work, the Supervisor will visit those who have received token(s). Now, under the column
'Faults Found', he will mention the number of token(s) received by the operator and give an initial.
After one month, total 'Number of Faults Committed' and total 'Faults Found' will be calculated. Now total 'Faults
Found' will be subtracted from total 'Number of Faults Committed' and the result will be considered as the 'Net
Faults'.
The operator with the least 'Net Faults' will be awarded with incentives.
Advantages of PAS:
In this system, the operators are allowed to compensate their 'Number of Faults Committed' by finding faults
committed by others. So, the operators would be motivated to give more concentration so that others get less
number of faults in there works.
Also, they will try to compensate their number of faults by finding faults committed by others, there will be less
chance for a defective item to pass out.
Every worker now plays a role of quality checker, which will be a motivating factor for the workers.
There will be significant cost savings due to decrease of number of Quality Inspectors.

5 WHY ANALYSIS:
Benefits of 5 Why Analysis:
This technique can help you to quickly determine the root cause of a problem. It's simple, and easy to learn
and apply.
5 Whys is a tool that is used to find systematic causes of a problem so that an appropriate corrective action
can be implemented.
It simply involves asking why at least five times until a root cause is established. It requires taking the
answer to the first why and asking why that occurs and so on.
To get to the root of a problem quickly, the Five Whys strategy involves looking at any problem and drilling
down by asking: "Why?" or "What caused this problem?" While you want clear and concise answers, you
want to avoid answers that are too simple and overlook important details.

60. SOP’s for quality control system
Quality Procedures- The Idea Smith
SOP’s
61. TQM is very important for ensuring the
quality of products. Manufacturing the
quality product is mandatory to sustain
in this global competitive market.
TQM has no specific destination and its
changing limit is also endless.
TQM eliminating non-productive
activities like reworks , as well as
cost are saved by ensuring quality
production.
we should bear in mind that
1% defective product for an
organization is 100% defective
for the customer who buys
that defective product. So
manufacturing the quality
product is mandatory to
sustain in this global
competitive market.
Finally, a joint effort is highly expected
from every related personnel in
minimizing defects and reworks and
hence to add value, enhance quality
and provide the greater levels of
service to customers through -
“Right first time, right on time, right
every time”.
It is the time to change to TQM. In the past, customers would accept goods with 1%, 2%, or even 5% defects; today they satisfy
their needs with companies whose production error levels are measured in ppm (parts per million), ppb (parts per billion) or
“Zero Defects”.

QUALITY FAILURE COSTS
Costs to prevent poor quality in products. They
include quality planning costs, quality improvement
projects, quality education etc.,
To assure conformance to quality standards and
performance requirements, include cost of quality
inspections, product testing, calibrating and
performing audits to make sure that quality
standards are being met.
Due to sewing rework, garment left over due to poor
quality, fabric rejections due to poor quality, air shipments
due to quality failures.
Claims, discounts on packing failure, workmanship failures,
stains, damages, etc., Lose of sale due to short quantities;
discounts on delay in shipments due to rescuers are also
accounted under external failures.
