UA CAF & Training CFA Process Training Program

[Virtual Presenter] Hello everyone, We are excited to talk with you today about our company's process training program for QA team. It's important to keep up with the latest technologies, methods, and regulations, and continuous training is crucial to maintain high standards, improve efficiency, and reduce errors and defects. Our training program is designed to help QA team members enhance their problem-solving skills, keep up with market trends, and boost employee morale and retention. We encourage a culture of continuous improvement and support collaboration and communication within our team. Our goal is to provide a high-quality product that meets our customers' expectations..

[Audio] Training is crucial for the development of the QA team's skills and knowledge. With regular training, the team can improve their efficiency and contribute to the successful production of high-quality products. Furthermore, training can aid the team in identifying potential issues and conducting corrective actions, which can ultimately lead to the factory's prosperity and competitiveness..

[Audio] 1. To maintain proficiency with new technologies, ensure compliance with regulations, and improve efficiency in the garment industry, we set high standards. 2. To enhance their skills and knowledge and enable more precise and accurate inspections, as well as early detection and correction of defects, we require continuous training for our QA team, thereby reducing the incidence of defective products reaching customers..

[Audio] We have designed and implemented an element of our quality control strategy. This program provides training to employees to improve their problem-solving skills and stay up-to-date with market trends. By investing in continuous training, we identify the root causes of quality issues and implement effective solutions. This program fosters a culture of learning and improvement, encouraging team members to seek out new knowledge and skills. As a result of this training, team members are better able to collaborate and communicate effectively, leading to improved quality control and faster resolution of issues..

[Audio] 1. Inspection of raw materials 2. Testing 3. Preparation of attributes 4. In-process inspection 5. Bundling 6. Assembly 7. End-of-line inspection.

[Audio] We involve several stages in our process to uphold the quality of our materials. We work with our suppliers to ensure that our materials are of utmost quality. We carry out supplier inspections, fabric spectro reading, fabric/trim inspection, fabric relaxing, pattern marking, and visual inspections during the fabric preparation stage. We scrutinize all testing reports, factory run cards, and lab test results to ensure that our materials meet our standards. Lastly, we conduct pre-pro color approvals to ensure that our materials adhere to our color standards. This process is vital to the success of our production, and we take it very seriously..

[Audio] This slide covers the Assembly/Attribute Preparation/ Bundling process. We have a table that outlines the steps involved in this process. It includes Spreading, Cutting & Fusing, Verifying spreading and cutting procedure, Markers, ply height, directions, Review cut parts, bundling, numbered, ratio, shading end to end and side to side et cetera We also have Review inspection report, panels replacement process, Cutter machines maintain record, fusing machine regularly calibrated, condition setting Embellishment (EMB/Embossing/printing/Heat Transfer) Strike off/Substrate Evaluation Form/Mockup approved including after wash and oven test signed by QA department and available on machines for reference. Additionally, we verify shade consistency in embellishments/cut part/bundling conforming to in-process standards, Verify machines are set and conform to appropriate, documented settings, Verify records centering, adhesion, 30%(Screen print loose fitted 30%,fitted and compression 50%) stretching, and scratching tests performed every 2 hours, and Review the 100% inspection report at the embellishment area..

[Audio] We must ensure that inline PP Meeting Reports, UA Tech Packs, and trim cards available with PPS-approved are checked during the IN-PROCESS/ END OF line INSPECTION stage of the UA CAF & Training C-F-A--. To do this, we must confirm that the F-P-I checklist is completed, reviewed, and signed off by the appropriate factory management team. This ensures that all critical points are being checked, such as trim off, S-P-I--, matching, asymmetry, needle sizes, seam allowance cut, and more visually critical points if needed. We must monitor the quality in the line, which involves confirming that the end of line inspection is 100% of all units and following UA Inspection Methods. We must also review the product passed by QC and ensure that it meets the necessary standards. Finally, E-O-L inspectors should place their inspector ID number on the back of the Main label (if applicable) to signify responsibility for the work. Defects found by QC should be identified, marked with stickers, segregated, classified as per UA standards, and disposed of according to factory standards. We must also review the QC report and actions regarding repeat defects, as this ensures that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. Measurement of the end of the line involves measuring the first output of each size, daily all points measurement, and taking critical measures at the QC EOL table. Defective garments should be handled in all sections, with QC returning to production for re-work if they can be fixed. If they cannot be fixed, QC needs to inform QA and C-F-A to review and take the appropriate action, such as marginal accept, replacement panels, or sorting out..

[Audio] We utilize a rigorous review process for packaging materials, which includes examining the U-P-C--, shipping mark, carton labels, and Polybag (sealing, artwork, air holes, size, and Polybag sticker). Our Review Carton process checks for the B-M-C stamp on the bottom of the carton, measures the wall, dimensions, and cardboard, as well as checks for security tape. Additionally, our Checking Process prior to Packing review ensures that hangtags, standard folds, and packing methods from the factory match our UA standards. To optimize the layout of our Packing Areas, we regularly check for correct product flow and the needle sharpness of our Punch Gun. We use corrugated or plastic storage cartons to transport materials and attach tools with string or workstations. To ensure the safety of our products and customers, we utilize a sensitive Metal Detector machine and secure broken needles. Our 9-Point system includes daily metal detector checks and products must pass through two machines immediately consecutive, with the product positioned at two different angles (right-side up, upside down) to be considered effectively free of metal contamination..

[Audio] The moisture control process is a critical step in the packaging process. It ensures that the products are packed with the correct moisture content to maintain their quality and shelf life. To measure the product moisture content prior to packing, accurate and reliable equipment such as Landtek/DM200T/Aqua Boy should be used. It is important to check the moisture control at inline by reviewing the set up of the MC meter. If moisture checking fails, an action plan should be developed to address the issue. Finally, the third step is to review the MC control procedure at EOL/packing to ensure that the entire process is being done correctly. Any issues should be addressed immediately to prevent further damage to the products. In conclusion, following proper procedures and using reliable equipment is essential for ensuring that products are packed safely and efficiently..

[Audio] A comprehensive analysis of the quality team and garment factory is necessary to proceed with the continuous training program. This analysis should evaluate the current state of the team and factory as well as assess future trends and challenges in the industry. Based on this analysis, a customized training program can be developed to address specific needs of the team and factory. The program should include technical skills training, process improvement training, and leadership development training to equip the team with necessary skills and knowledge to maintain high standards, improve efficiency, and adapt to industry changes. By investing in continuous training, the quality team and garment factory can ensure long-term success..
