Fabric Source: |
As a primary check to ensure quality, we guide suppliers
as to proper source of fabric and identify industries which
can deliver in time, good quality fabric of desired weight,
construction and colour etc. |
|
Identify supplier: |
Every factory we deal with is evaluated at two levels:
· To
assess capacity and capability.
To check environmental control and adherence to labor laws.
|
|
Sampling: |
We arrange sampling from appropriate suppliers as per buyers
designs, sketches etc. Samples against orders and promotional
samples sent by suppliers are free of charge. |
|
Prices: |
We scrutinize prices quoted by the supplier and with our
own experience of the cost structure in the country, obtain
the most realistic prices from them. |
|
Quality control: |
-
Once an order has been placed with a supplier, we take
the following steps to see that only correct merchandise
is shipped:
We draw samples of fabric to be used and check its quality,
weight, shrinkage, colour fastness, etc. We call for
lab-dips and obtain buyers’ approval of shades before
bulk fabric is dyed.
-
Before production is started, we obtain approval sample
and check it minutely in all respects such as size specification,
workmanship, cleanliness and proper fit of the garment.
-
We also suggest from time to time, possible improvements
in production process to improve workmanship and get
perfect merchandise.
-
Our quality controllers visit factories at regular intervals,
making surprise checks, to see that only the correct
quality is produced and reject sub-standard and defective
pieces in the production pipeline itself.
-
When the consignment is ready, we carry out systematic
inspection as suggested by our buyers. If the merchandise
is found satisfactory, we issue a certificate of inspection.

Follow up: |
We follow up each order in precise details from fabric to
garment to shipment stage. At each stage, progress is intimated
to buyer and he is kept informed of the actual status of
his orders through out. |
|
Shipping/Cargo handling: |
Shipping documents are checked to verify their conformity
to buyer’s instructions and sent well in advance to the
buyer.
As a policy, we insist that all our cargo must be handled
only by a reputed forwarder, so that, we get correct information
well in time about exact sailing details, etd / eta of vessels
and may also try for priority in booking and loading wherever
possible. In suitable circumstances, we may arrange grouping
of cargo arriving from different
suppliers. This system enables the buyer to import several
consignments as one lot and reduces his import cost on freight,
clearing, forwarding and cargo handling. We can assist if
required in negotiating and obtain special freight rates
on the basis of regular turnover. This too results in reducing
buyer’s cost of import. |
|
Post Shipment services: |
To avoid demurrage at destination, we collect copies of
shipping documents such as b/l, awb, invoice, packing list,
original g.s.p., certificate of origin, export certificate
etc. From all suppliers immediately after shipment and forward
it to respective buyers. Should there still arise any misunderstanding
or dissatisfaction in respect of any order, we actively
help in finding a mutually acceptable solution to the problem. |

in industry, changes in govt. Policy and regulations etc.
