Cut Panel Inspection Procedure in Cutting Section

Inspecting cut panels in the cutting section is crucial to ensure the quality and accuracy of the pieces before they proceed to the sewing section. 

Cut Panel inspection Procedure in cutting Section. Here is a step-by-step procedure for cut panel inspection:

1. Preparation:

   • Ensure that the inspection table is clean and well-lit.
   • Gather all necessary tools and documents such as the cut panel inspection report, measuring tape, templates, and markers.

2. Sampling:

   • Determine the sampling plan based on the production quantity and quality standards. Commonly used sampling plans include 100% inspection, AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit), or random sampling.

3. Initial Check:

   • Verify that the cut panels are sorted and labeled correctly according to the style, size, and color.
   • Ensure that the panels are free from any contamination, such as dirt, oil, or other substances.

4. Visual Inspection:

   • Check each panel for any visible defects such as holes, stains, or fabric flaws.
   • Inspect the edges of the panels for clean and accurate cuts without fraying or jagged edges.

5. Measurement Verification:

   • Measure the critical dimensions of the panels using a measuring tape or templates. These dimensions typically include length, width, and specific design features.
   • Compare the measurements against the approved pattern or specification sheet to ensure they are within tolerance limits.

6. Shape and Symmetry Check:

   • Place the cut panels on a flat surface or inspection table and check for shape accuracy and symmetry.
   • Use templates or patterns to verify that the panels conform to the required shape and design specifications.

7. Notch and Marking Inspection:

   • Ensure that all notches, drill marks, and other markings are present and correctly positioned.
   • Verify that the markings are clear and easily visible for the sewing operators.

8. Defect Documentation:

   • Record any defects or discrepancies found during the inspection on the cut panel inspection report.
   • Identify and separate defective panels for rework or rejection based on the severity of the defects.

9. Quality Approval:

   • If the panels pass the inspection, mark them as approved and move them to the next stage of production.
   • If defects are found, communicate with the cutting department for corrective action and re-inspect the panels after rework.

10. Final Review:

    • Conduct a final review of the inspection results to ensure that all quality standards are met.
    • Submit the completed inspection report to the quality control department for record-keeping and further analysis.

Tools and Equipment Needed:

• Measuring tape
• Templates or patterns
• Markers and pens
• Inspection table with good lighting
• Cut panel inspection report forms

Following this detailed cut panel inspection procedure, you can ensure that the panels meet the required quality standards, reducing the risk of defects in the final product and improving overall production efficiency.
