The generic quality system of the Hong Kong coloration industry

Abstract

An exploratory survey of the Hong Kong coloration industry revealed that conformance is the key attribute of quality, but the maturity of quality management mainly resides at the stage of inspection. The larger the dyehouse, the more mature the quality system that was adopted. The generic quality system of the industry went far beyond the requirements of ISO 9002. To remain competitive and viable in the market, consistent supply and good quality product are the important strategy. A model quality system for the industry was developed with a checklist of the main elements.
