In-Process Line Auditing: Monitor manufacturing lines to ensure sewing techniques, filling weights, and stitch patterns strictly adhere to standard operating procedures.
Material Testing & Inspection: Examine incoming raw materials (fabrics, poly-fills, foam densities, zippers, and labels) for defects, tear strength, and color consistency.
Measurement & Dimension Verification: Utilize measuring tools to verify exact finished product tolerances, dimensions (King, Queen, Twin), and critical-to-quality attributes.
Defect & Rework Management: Identify, isolate, and log defective goods or contamination issues; issue non-conformance reports (NCRs) and collaborate with operations for proper rework or scrap.
Packaging and Final Audit: Confirm that final goods are appropriately compressed, sealed, barcoded, and packed according to retail or global distribution criteria
