SAMPLING

PROCESS

Sampling for any product plays a pivotal role to design and execute at small scale as prototype of upcoming bulk. Over the years we have synchronized sampling stage with respective manufacturing facilities. This supports in a well-planned and well prepared execution for the bulk production later on.

Sample Inquiry Received

1 Detailed study of customer’s Technical Sheet & relevant information.
2 A standardized set of documents is generated to provide entire information (from all customers/labels) in a unique pattern for quick and easy understanding at target manufacturing facility.
3 Inputs arrangements including: Fabric, Threads and Trims etc.
4 Internal Meeting of Merchandising & Quality Team to ensure clarity of all requirements.
5 Submission of entire sampling package to factory via quality representative backed up by merchandising.

Sample Pre-Cutting

1 Fabric Shrinkage based on required shade.
2 Pattern making according to desired fit and shrinkage.
3 Preparation of dummy for pattern evaluation.
4 Wearing test of dummy.
5 Pattern finalization OR amendment (if needed).

Feedback Analysis

Customer feedback is the key to design our corrective action plan. On receipt of sample comments, internal sampling status is updated to review below parameters.

1 Corrective actions.
2 Our own performance with respect to each factory.
