Abstract

Apparel production quality is influenced depending upon machine, operator, material and process. Therefore, production is not possible with zero defect. The purpose is to prevent the possible defects by taking measures or to minimize them. In order to determine and remove the possible defects during production stages, various engineering applications are used for this purpose. One of them is “Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)” technique. In this study, defects encountered at the quality control department of jeans production in apparel firm were observed and analyzed according to FMEA method.
