- Pre-Production Stage: Inspecting raw fibers, yarns, and fabric rolls before cutting to spot major flaws early.
- In-Process (Inline) Stage: Monitoring machinery, dyeing/color consistency, and stitching accuracy while production is underway (typically around 15–20% completion).
- Pre-Shipment (Final) Stage: Inspecting the completed, packed batch (usually when roughly 80% is finished) using statistical sampling standards
