DHU Document

The document discusses minimizing reworks and defects in garment manufacturing. It states that rejected garments after shipment decrease efficiency and quality. While some defects may be from raw materials or employee errors, factories must implement quality checkpoints to reduce rejection rates and DHU. The document then outlines a general methodology to minimize reworks, including reviewing quality systems, identifying common defects, analyzing data to find major issues, categorizing defects, and developing an inspection system. Finally, it lists some specific fault types that affect DHU percentages, such as wrong stitching, holes, stains, and dirt.

INTRODUCTION

As the global economic condition is changing in a rapid motion, an industry


focuses in giving profit margin, customer demand for high quality product and
improved productivity.

In garment manufacturing, it is usually few rejected garments after shipment


which decreases the efficiency of and overall quality of production as they lead
to re-works and DHU increment.

Reason, most of the manufacturers believe that garments are soft goods and non-
repairable defect may occur due to low quality raw materials or faulty process or
employee casual behaviour. They term it as Human Error and nothing can be done
to overcome it.

However, factory must have check points to control over this issue. There is no
ready-made solution that can reduce rejection percentage and DHU reduction
overnight. Each order is unique, but this project works suggest how to handle this
issue and bring down rejection rate and DHU to minimum.

I see a lot of rejected garment after shipment. Most of the organization termed
these garments as rejected because those garments can’t be repaired by any
means. Reworks in the garments industry is a common works that hampers the
smooth production rate and focus poor quality products having an impact on
overall factory economy.

Minimization of reworks is a must in quality and productivity improvement.


Rework is a vital issue for poor quality product and low production rate. Reworks
are the non -productive activities focusing on any activity that customer are not
willing to pay for.

Non-productive activities describe that the customer does not consider as adding
value to his product. By reacting quicker in minimization of reworks and defect
analysis to make a product as per customer demand with expected quality, the
company can invest less money and more costs savings with minimum DHU.
PROJECT BACKGROUND

In the Apparel Manufacturing Industry, main raw material is fabric; others are
different types of trimming and accessories. Operational wastages in the Apparel
manufacturing process are- top surface rework, printed label rework, sewing fault
rework, pinhole rework, fabric rework Improper fly shape, and other reworks.
The general methodology followed to minimize reworks is given below.

1. Review of the existing quality system in the company

2. Identification of defects in the various departments by collecting data from old


records.

3. Analysis of data collected in order to identify majorly occurring defects.

4. Categorization of defects

5. Development of a model Quality Inspection System


In the modern area of the textile technology we are well aware about the
minimization of the defect in the garment industry. The basic needs for
productivity increase in the sewing department.

We have to control the productivity by keeping the intension on the minimization


of the defect in the sewing department through the actual taking the supervising&
strict operating condition to be followed.

Type of Faults Affecting the DHU%:

1. Wrong stitching,

2. Turnout stitch Hole,

3. Machine cut,

4. Thick place,

5. Spots or stain

6. Oil stain

7. Colour stain

8. Dirt stain
