Analyze Product analysis before selling it to the market is an activity that must be done for customer satisfaction and attract customer attention. For the analysis section, we prepared several stages before selling products to the market. The step are : 1. Check whether the material is suitable for everyday use. 2. After the sewing process is complete, the next process is inspection. In this process the stitch results will be selected by quality control. Open stitches, wrong sewing techniques, unsuitable threads, and tangled threads can affect product quality. Therefore, before the clothes are circulated, they will be selected first. 3. Pressing / Finishing. In this process, some operators will move the technical engine to tidy up the wrinkled clothes so the clothes will look neater.
Trial and Error We checked several possibilities that usually occur when using a clothes: 1. Check whether the material is suitable for everyday use. 2. Check for product defects when producing. 3. In addition, there are also several possible damage to the clothes material. For example, broken buttons/zippers, broken stitches, broken motive, broken pocket cloth or possible damage.
Output Packing is the last process where all products are packed according to size, design, and color. After the processes are complete. The products that we produce are designed to be stylish for every stories of our customer and make their looks more perfect. After all the product catalog will be taken with a model and ready to be marketed online. The products can be only sold and purchased online.
