Module
Garment & Seam Performance
Seam and garment construction verified against agreed strength, slippage and durability limits.
Module details
ProfessionalStage: Bulk production
Outcome: Seam and garment construction verified against agreed strength, slippage and durability limits.
Roles
- Garment QA
- Industrial Engineer
Workflow
- 1.Select seams and garment areas for test
- 2.Prepare specimens per referenced standard
- 3.Test seam strength, slippage and wash durability
- 4.Trigger construction change if limits breached
Evidence
Common failures
- Wrong stitch class tested
- Machine wash cycle not aligned to standard
Escalation
Systemic seam failures escalate to Technical Head and trigger a line-level containment.
KPIs
- Seam strength pass rate
- Field return rate for seam defects
