As a well known manufacturing site, Sicome has successfully maintained strict quality and safety systems which gained its international reputation for satisfying the customers needs and requirements.
I-Quality system
a) Pre-production
Before the start of a style,we plan and hold internal pre-production meetings
with development engineers and production personnel to discuss all aspects of
production such as avaibility of materials, capacities, machinary, skills, methods
and quality key points.
b) Cutting room
To comply with Sicome's quality system, fabric is cut to ratio.We check that
cutting is accurate, consistent and conform to the pattern.
c) Line operations control and warehouse audits
We control quality on line for every item at each assembly stage. In addition
to this exhaustive control on line, we set up a team of rover controllers who
audit and achieve quality reports with corrective actions. This team operates
both on line and warehouse. Moreover, the management audit is done once a week.
Any non conform product is clearly identified and segregated from other stock.
d) Laboratory
The lab is equipped with various tools most prominent of which are :
- a washing machine for durability tests (thread, colour, fusing...)
- a light-box to check any shading or colour discrepency.
- a crock meter used for dry rub testing
of garments after wash.
II- Safety procedures
a) Metal procedure
We focus on avoiding any metal contamination of the garments.(needles, staples,
pins...)
Consequently, we set up metal detectors and a strict broken-needle procedure.
b) Rivet and stud
Twice a day a shear test is performed to determine the popper strength and to
check that no stud becomes disclosed.
c) Button attachment
A button pull test takes place twice a day to test the strength of 6 buttons
on a garment.
All of the 6 buttons must withstand the strength of 6 kg.
d) Fusing
The fusing machines are tested twice a day to check that the temperature
announced is reliable. Then, a durability wash test is performed on garments
to make sure fusible is not peeling off after wash.
