AQL Sampling & Inspection Levels
Technical purpose
This lesson develops the factory-level judgement needed to apply AQL Sampling & Inspection Levels in garment bulk production. You will link technical requirements to measurable controls, production decisions and release evidence.
Core operating method
- Set the standard. Confirm the buyer specification, approved sample, test method and numeric acceptance limit.
- Observe variation. Record actual conditions, material lot, machine settings, operator method and output data.
- Control the process. Use first-piece approval, in-process checks and traceable records before defects travel downstream.
- Verify improvement. Compare results against the sealed standard and confirm the correction holds across shifts and lots.
Applied factory case
A production line reports inconsistent results and rising rework. Review the process step-by-step: define the critical-to-quality point, identify three possible sources of variation, then propose containment and a root-cause check.
Treat inspection as feedback to the process; quantify defects, trace them to source and verify corrective action.
Professional principle: A process is under control only when it produces the required result consistently across operators, shifts and production lots.
Knowledge check
- Which measurable condition proves this process is in control?
- What upstream cause could create a downstream defect?
- What document or record would prove the decision to a buyer or auditor?
