Who need to involve in MRP program
1) Vendor/Factory merchandisers: - prepare MRP file for DA or in-house factory QA in all
complete information
2) GIS merchant: - Review MRP file and return to vendor with approval stamp
3) GIS & Factory in-house QA : - go through all production information in MRP file before
pre- production meeting - check with all relative parties when some information were found incorrect or missed in the MRP
file

PP meeting 1. Purpose : PP meeting is to ensure all production
related dept review the buyer’s requirement and bulk material quality to set up process and timeline needed.
2. When to start : Buyer’s Approved Sample ready PP size set sample prepared by factory Bulk material inspection and testing done
3. Who to attend: MerchandisersSample room technicianAll Production depts manager/supervisorsQA/QC dept

PPM – major items for discussion1. Check factory size set PP sample vs. approved fit
sample + wash sample on visual & measurement. 2. Follow up line review – high risk report and see if all
correction made 3. Set critical check point at:
garment production process Laundry mills
4. Check shade blanket, shade band, plan shade segregation for DPO, plan sets of pattern for shrinkage % check in order to meet spec tolerance.
5. Check internal fabric inspection and test result and work out appropriate production planning.
05/02/202326
PPM – major items for discussion5. Product / Production process re-engineer
to enhance quality / efficiency6. Bulk trim check and see if any bulk
control needed on application. (e.g. rivet and buttons)
7. Prototype carton approval8. Check facility production planning and
schedule.9. Complete PP meeting report and
distribute to all related parties for follow up.
10. For repeat styles, MUST have PPM per season

Raw materials/Materials/Testing/Production Planning
1. Garment factory should request Fabric Mill to provide head ends/lot, 100% inspection report + test report / lot before bulk fabric delivery.
2. There should have a passed fabric test report. If it is failed, check with PI and MR for exception, otherwise, consult PI/Tech for construction that can meet garment test requirement
3. Garment factory should review their internal fabric inspection and testing result of all bulk shipment deliveries. Especially on shrinkage and crocking checking per lot.
4. Garment factory should check all trims quality. For embroidery and printing, grading checking is needed and attachment method should be reviewed to ensure consistency and meet product safety requirement.

Raw materials/Materials/Testing/Production Planning
5. For new wash, vendor should discuss with laundry on the approved wash sample and shade band to see if bulk range is covered. Work together on how to support each other to meet the approved range.
6. Check the production planning of garment and laundry house to see they can align to meet the delivery.
Important points in PPM
05/02/202331
Cutting/ Sewing/Fit/Machinery1. In cutting, ensure the dye lot numbering for shade and
shrinkage is correct and maintained till sending to laundry mill.
2. The technician at sample room should alert production if there is any new construction for the style and how to have bulk control on it. Templates or markings/pressing is needed when set up the sewing line.
3. The tolerance in spec should be reviewed for the last time to determine whether it is manageable.
4. There should be marker assigned to ensure bulk lot can meet measurement tolerance. Check if marker assigned and sewing room can meet the tolerance.
5. There should have before wash and after wash measurement sheet for sewing and finishing dept to follow and check.
6. Critical check point set at sewing line.
Important points in PPM
05/02/202332
Wet and Dry processing1. For light weight fabric with heavy wash or resin finishing,
test the tearing strength in bulk control. 2. For washed spandex garment, fabric pop-up due to the
elastic degraded by high temperature or in heavy bleaching process. Alert laundry house on temperature control.
3. For weak points like belt-loop, pocket opening, buttoning, QA should be alerted to check if fall off or easy tear after washed.
Important points in PPM
05/02/202333
Packing1. When there are 3D whiskers or any special visual effect
that buyer request to have roll pack or any other new packing method, merchant team should demonstrate for packing department. Packing factor and carton size should be studied. Any extended approval should send to GIS MR team and [email protected]
2. Crocking hangtag must be added for medium to dark color garment.
3. Even we have approved shade band, alert packing that 1 carton can only allow 1 shade of garment.

Objective of Pilot run : to check the specific high risk area with a manageable quantity to ensure bulk consistency ability and prevent major bulk failure.
Size of pilot run is around 200 pcs per style tentatively and audit size to be 50 for visual and 20/32 for measurement before and after wash.
Brief audit results to facility and provide recommendations for bulk quality enhancement.
Suggested timeline: asap Denim - TWO weeks after cutting
In-house QA to follow up with facility and arrange Pilot Run audit timely.

Pilot run & TOP sample checking
35
Pilot run/TOP sampling procedures (Cont’d)
For small programs ( order qty < 1000 pcs) where a pilot run is not feasible, the facility must demonstrate a process to check and control measurement, construction and workmanship as bulk commences.
TOP samples to be pulled out from pilot run and prepare TOP sample for timely distribution.
TOP samples are checked as being representative of bulk. It is required to sign on the underside of the care label for confirmation.
Pilot Run audit report is copied to both facility and GIS merchants for record. ONE piece of TOP sample to be collected for GIS merchant review.
In-house QA report to GIS merchant of TOP sample review status through weekly WIP report.

Different scenario for pilot run sampling qty: 1.Check construction consistency –
1 size 1 colorway. 2.Check color combination on colorfastness
1 size + all colorways3.Check grading proportional of solid color
1 color + all sizes or jump sizes4.Check on color combination styling on
grading and colorfastness / shrinkage all size + all colorways
Pilot run design

1. Follow up the suggestions from PP meeting / high
risk comments to verify their improvement.2. In case of any technical issues that cannot be
corrected & are beyond control. Seek assistance from GIS Tech, WP and QA.
3. If bulk fabric issues, resolve it with mill first. 4. If there is risk of delay shipment or short ship
>5%, bubble up to GIS merchant immediately with qty detail per DPO affected.
Common issues found in Pilot
05/02/202338
1. TOP samples should be representing bulk shipment in correct packing.
2. DA should write name on joker label & to attach the measurement sheet with measurement taken before send out the TOP samples.
3. Submission with MR timeline or at least two weeks prior shipment for GIS merchant & buyer review. If cannot submit in time, please alert the GIS merchant for the late submit date first or any remedy solution needed.
Common issues found in TOP submission

1. Minor defects and can be rectified – send defects to rectify and also adjust the production floor to avoid further defect produced.
2. Major defects cannot be rectified and sorted out – use the sampling plan and check WIP to see if the sort out will be over 5%. If yes, then send representative data/sample for GIS consideration of buyer approval. Correct production floor to avoid further defects produced.
3. Major and 100% sewn with repeat POs – immediate send photo/sample and call GIS for decision on current PO and repeat PO.
In- process audit – action for various results
Shipment Audit (Final inspection)
44
Seconds & Overruns policy Control left-over quantity after shipment.
Overruns, Seconds and Thirds sorting within TWO weeks of last DPO shipped.
Record all information and storage in neat and organized manner.
A shipment audit is done on visual, measurement, OCR and packing according to Gap standard.
Immediate corrective action is taken to rectify and resolve non-compliance quality issues.
Complete shipment audit report.
If outlet accepted offers, NEW PO issue and “S&O” audit before shipment.
Upon receipt of declined offer list, follow-up de-label audit with facility. Close file and keep all QA documents as per Gap requirements.
