Quality Improvements
Lifting First-Pass Yield on a Levi QMP Line
Challenge
First-pass yield on a long-running denim program had drifted below brand AQL thresholds, increasing rework and threatening on-time shipment.
Action
Re-baselined the QMP system, retrained QA auditors on root-cause classification, and introduced a daily defect-Pareto review owned by the floor supervisor.
Result
First-pass yield recovered above target within eight weeks, rework hours fell materially, and the program retained its certified status without buyer escalation.
