The Value of Quality in Fashion Manufacturing
In the fashion manufacturing industry, quality is a key factor for ensuring success and competitiveness. But how much does “Poor Quality” cost companies today? And how much could be saved by detecting non-conformities directly during the production cycle?
Gea Quality was created to meet these needs, offering an advanced system for quality management and control.
With Gea Quality, Gea Soft ensures a structured quality control process, no longer reliant solely on an operator’s experience, but entrusted to a specialized software system.
How Gea Quality Works
The software provides tangible and measurable results for shoe and leather goods manufacturers, enabling them to:
-
Monitor the quality of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished goods throughout the production process.
-
Create customized checklists for inspections, with the ability to attach images and videos.
-
Detect non-conformities using digital devices (touchscreen, tablet, PC), with the option to photograph defects.
-
Automatically send email alerts to quality managers when recurring issues are detected on a specific model.
-
Generate detailed statistics on non-conformities and the performance of external suppliers.
Integrated Business Intelligence with Power BI
Gea Quality’s back-office module uses Microsoft Power BI PRO dashboards to deliver advanced, customizable analysis:
-
User profiling to ensure differentiated access to reports.
-
Role-specific reporting for each department.
-
Autonomous creation of custom reports, with support from Gea Soft consultants.
Usability and Accessibility
The Gea Quality Front Office module is designed for capacitive devices (touchscreens) and optimized for fast, intuitive use. It can be installed on Android and Windows tablets (8″ screens or larger), fixed devices, and desktop PCs.
Real-Time Analysis of Performance and Non-Conformities
Thanks to Power BI integration, Gea Quality offers four types of non-conformity analysis:
-
Real-time analysis of non-conformities by control type and supplier/department.
-
Focus on suppliers, contractors, and departments to assess performance over time and identify critical issues.
-
Focus on specific items to quickly pinpoint problematic products and implement corrective actions.
-
Focus on the most frequent non-conformities to evaluate supplier and department performance.
Gea Quality is an essential solution for fashion companies aiming to ensure top-quality production, reduce defect-related costs, and improve overall production efficiency.
