Quality Control Factory Inspector
Quality Control Factory Inspector
As a QC Inspector, you are the eyes and hands of Suitsupply’s quality function on the factory floor. Permanently embedded at a production facility, you will perform final random inspections on all active production styles to ensure every garment meets Suitsupply’s exacting standards before it leaves the factory. This role is central to our Phase 1 model — one dedicated inspector per factory, building deep knowledge of that facility’s processes and quality performance over time. Working closely with factory inspectors and technicians, you will build trusted partnerships that drive continuous quality improvement.
What you will do
Perform final random inspections (FRI, Stage 5) on finished goods in accordance with AQL sampling plans and Suitsupply inspection criteria.
Evaluate garments against approved PP samples, tech packs, and workmanship standards.
Classify and document defects accurately (critical, major, minor) with photographic evidence.
Receive and review factory in-line QC reports for visibility and early risk identification (Stage 4).
Communicate inspection results to factory management and follow up on corrective actions.
Submit regular inspection reports to the regional QC Manager.
Contribute to Stage 7 data collection: accurate defect logging to feed factory scorecards.
Build strong working relationships with factory production and QC teams.
Flag systemic quality issues or production risks to the QC Manager promptly.
Support Phase 2 factory capability development over time.
Compare AQL results with the factory’s own AQL results and identify discrepancies.
Review AQL and factory performance on a regular basis and assist in improvement plans (e.g. improving rework rates through more technical in-line assistance).
Assist in bulk fabric inspections and report any issues such as colour shading.
