- Controlled Inspection and Audit (CIA) Quality Software

quality control software, shop floor management
Are you troubled by apparel quality management issues that you just can't seem to nail down?   Are you positive you know where your defects originate?   Which operator, what machine, which operation is the culprit?   If you are capturing this information, are your quality auditors bogged down in paperwork instead of inspecting garments?  Byte's Apparel Statistical Quality Control Software product, Controlled Inspection & Audit (CIA), can help you with these challenges.

CIA, an in-line apparel software quality control system, is an add-on software package to PAC, the apparel piecework payroll software module. The CIA system utilizes wireless technology to provide a real-time solution that helps significantly reduce the administrative time spent documenting quality problems on the sewing floor. Byte has the only apparel manufacturing software package that integrates apparel quality control with piecework payroll and shop floor control.

    POWERFUL AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS
    An additional "quality" bar-code is printed on the existing bundle tickets. Quality auditors carry a hand held scanner that is used to scan the bundle number and operation numbers that are being audited. The auditor keys in the sample size, the defect code, the quantity by defect, and the employee number. This information is instantly stored in BYTE's database on the server and can be used in reports, graphs, and feedback to the floor.

    There are a number of statistical quality control reports that can be generated by the system. Pareto charts by employee, by defect type, by style, by sew line, and by skill are available. Also available are P-charts, bar charts, pie charts and x-Bar/R charts.

    Immediately know your problem areas and solve those problems to virtually eliminate sewn-in defects. Find defects today or tomorrow, not two to three weeks from now.

    Final inspection by bundle and by product, inline inspection, block inspection by bundle, variable auditing with measurements, and finished goods auditing are also possible with the CIA system. Need a specific report that you are used to? We can customize reports to fit your requirements.
