15. This
process consists of five phases:
1. Establishing merchandising quality standards
for the finished product as regards esthetics
(emotional appeal), durability, and utility.
2. Establishing
specs for the raw material
necessary to attain the esthetics, durability
and utility spec in (1).
3. Prescribing
specs for processes (machines,

procedures necessary to maintain the
specs in (2).
5. Prescribing quality inspection procedures
to maintain the specs in (3)
17. SPECIFICATION SHEET
Specification
sheets provide important
details to ensure the correct execution
of garment patterns into finished
garments.
They
help to produce accurate samples,
which improves turnaround time and
simplifies communication during all
stages of manufacturing and quality
control.
18. Specification
sheets include detailed
technical diagrams, construction notes,
finished garment measurements, fabric
yields and material and trim details.
They
can be tailored in terms of the
format and information provided to
suit the company’s needs.
19. Specification
sheets help to improve
the communication between design and
production teams, clarify product
requirements for the workers and help
to prevent costly errors.
They
are essential to improve both
quality and productivity.
