STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL AS A TOOL FOR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT: A CASE STUDY IN DENIM PANT PRODUCTION

Abstract

In this study, after defining the concepts of quality and quality control, the concept of statistical process control tools is examined. As a result of the data obtained from denim pants produced by a textile company operating in the ready-to-wear sector, defects were analyzed using statistical process control techniques. In this study, flowchart, control charts, pareto analysis, p-control diagram, cause-effect diagram, and grouping techniques were used. With the use of basic statistical process control tools, the most recurring defects were, and these defects were divided into subheadings for more detailed analysis. In this way, it was tried to prevent the repetition of defects by going down to the root causes of the detected defects. The causes of possible defects that may occur during production and solution suggestions were categorized. By going down to the basic causes of the detected defects and categorized them, defects were prevented by presenting and implementing solution suggestions. It is expected that the study with this different perspective will be an example of the sector and related fields as an alternative method. The aim of this study is to examine quality control practices in the garment industry, contribute to statistical control methods and problem-solving procedures, produce suggestions for problem-solving approaches, and disseminate improvement studies.
