4. Key plywood process and special plywood process.

【4】 Plywood process control method

1. Full time three inspection system: the full-time inspection staff shall
conduct the first inspection at the beginning of the formal processing
of each shift (time), carry out intermediate inspection or patrol
inspection during the processing process, conduct the completion
inspection or final inspection at the end of processing, and adjust the
plywood process according to the inspection results.

Pre-production Inspection

During the pre-production phase, raw materials should be tested

before entering production. This may include a number of tests to
examine the material for weight, dimensional stability, pilling
resistance, torqueing, pile retention, stretch recovery, and much
more. Components including closures, zippers, elastics and other
embellishments such as beads, rhinestones, sequins and rivets
should also be tested for regulatory requirements.   

Since quality issues are often a result of defects in the materials,

inspections during the pre-production phase allow auditors to
address any issues before production begins. Ultimately, by
inspecting the materials up front, brands and retailers can avoid
unanticipated costs and delays.

In-line Inspection

Additional inspections should take place during various stages of

production. For apparel, inspections should occur at each critical step
of the production process, from cutting to assembling to pressing or
other finishing procedures. For example, during the cutting phase,
each cutting ticket should be randomly inspected to ensure that each
 part is accurately notched and shades are separated. If fabric is
incorrectly cut, the parts cannot be properly assembled.

In-line inspections are important, as quality issues are often re-

workable during the production phase and can be fixed before the
final product is complete. When quality issues are not corrected
during the production process, minor issues in the beginning of
production can lead to larger issues in later stages.

Final Inspection

The final inspection is the last opportunity for auditors to catch and
address quality issues before they end up in the hands of the buyer,
or even worse, the consumer. During the final audit, products are
examined for specific performance requirements, overall appearance,
sizing and fit.

Brands and retailers often skip inspections while the products are still
at the factory and only perform random, final inspections once the
order is received at the ultimate destination. By then, it is too late and
the only recourse is discarding the poor quality units.  This is costly to
every party, especially the factory, which will bear the brunt of the
expense.

2. Work inspection combined with three inspection system: on the basis

of full-time three inspection system, the operator’s self-inspection is
added, and the mutual inspection of each plywood process of the
group by the team leader and team quality personnel, and the mutual
inspection between the next plywood process and the previous
plywood process.
3. Application of statistical chart method: mainly using questionnaire,
histogram, control chart and other methods to implement plywood
process quality control. Among them, the control chart method is the
most widely used.
Six key points of plywood quality control in plywood quality management
Plywood quality management is an essential management link for plywood
factory enterprises to implement lean production. To do a good job in
plywood quality management, on the whole, the factors that affect the
quality of plywood products can be divided into human, plywood machinery
and equipment, materials, technology, measurement methods,
environmental factors, referred to as 5M1E for short.
The function and processing accuracy of plywood machinery and
equipment, the rationality of product technology, the scientificity and
feasibility of measurement methods, and environmental factors will all
affect the final plywood quality of products, and the plywood quality of
materials is the direct factor affecting the plywood quality of products, but
these factors must act on the plywood quality of products through the
“human” factor Form.
Therefore, the human factor is the key factor of plywood quality control.
People are the most active elements in enterprises, and also one of the
most direct factors affecting the quality of plywood products. And the
people in the enterprise can be roughly divided into managers and
employees, who have a great impact on the quality of plywood products.
From the perspective of enterprise managers, the plywood quality of
enterprise products is the primary problem to be solved for the survival and
development of enterprises, which requires the full attention of enterprise
managers. It is necessary to instill the plywood quality consciousness of
“plywood quality is the life of enterprises” and “plywood quality needs the
participation of all employees” into employees through various forms such
as enterprise culture publicity Plywood quality culture is formed in the
industry.
From the perspective of employees, their every move may cause plywood
quality problems of products, and the impact of employees on the quality of
plywood products is multifaceted: due to their own technical level, they can
not successfully complete the work, resulting in plywood quality problems
of products.
The ideological consciousness of employees lacks the plywood quality
concept of the whole staff and the whole process, neglects the impact of
their work on the plywood quality of the final product, thus neglecting their
work, and fails to work in strict accordance with the plywood quality
requirements of the product; the working attitude and sense of
responsibility of employees will directly affect the work effect, and their bad
attitude towards work will affect the execution of the enterprise, thus
affecting the performance of the enterprise Affect the quality of plywood
and customer satisfaction.
It can be seen that the human factor is also the most difficult part of
plywood quality management. In order to effectively manage the plywood
quality of manufacturing enterprises and ensure the quality of plywood
products, we must do a good job in the plywood quality management of
“people”.
In the actual plywood quality management process, we can develop
plywood quality control procedures to strengthen the guidance of how to
better plywood quality management work for the staff.
According to the type of products and the characteristics of the production
and service provision process, plan and control the production and service
provision process to ensure that the production and service provision
process is under control. Controlled conditions shall include:
1、 Operation instruction
For the process affecting the quality of plywood products, work instructions
shall be prepared to guide production. Operation instructions, plywood
quality control documents, etc. shall be the current effective version, and
shall be correct, complete, coordinated, unified, clear and consistent with
the document. The equipment (including measuring equipment) used in the
production process shall meet the requirements of relevant documents and
be under control.
2、 Professional qualification
The relevant personnel in the production provision process shall control the
release, delivery and post delivery activities of products according to the
arrangement of production and service provision planning through
necessary knowledge and skills. The purchased products used in the
production and supply process shall be provided with qualification
certificates, and the unqualified purchased products shall not be put into
production.
3、 Standard for inspection of plywood
The inspection, measurement and test methods used in the production
process shall meet the requirements of relevant regulations and ensure
that they are under control. The working environment, such as temperature,
humidity, lighting, cleanliness, surplus and anti-static, which affect the
conformity of products, shall comply with the relevant technical documents
and plywood standards.
