ABSTRACT
The process of range building, sourcing, planning, and controlling production varies from company to company, and the responsibility for quality assurance also depends very much on how the company operates. It is fair to say that quality is everyone’s responsibility; however, individuals with specific responsibilities have to be appointed. There are several titles used in industry to describe this role:
• Quality assurance manager • Quality controller • Technical manager • Product development manager • Technical designer • Garment technologist
The role can be divided into two main areas of responsibility: technical and quality auditing.
