These steps must be followed by the Fabric Inspector/Auditor. •
Review the packing list and determine how much total fabric to inspect and then how much of each color. Determine how many rolls of each color to inspect and then choose from the packing list and the physical rolls, which rolls are to be inspected.
•
Count the rolls in the shipment to make sure they match the packing list and then mark the rolls that are to be pulled for inspection.
•
Check the packing of the rolls in the shipment to make sure all the packing and markings are correct.
•
Move all the rolls to be inspected to the inspection machine and load the first roll on the machine. As the roll is put on the machine check to make sure the inner packing is correct and proper. Also check to make sure the roll is rolled on the tube squarely and that the tube does not stick out of the end of the roll more then 1 inch on each end. Also make sure the first 3 meters of fabric is rolled properly, not creased or distorted, and that it is clean from dirt and marks.
•
Cut off the first 6 inches and last 6 inches of fabric from each roll and mark it with the roll number, whether it is from the head or tail of the roll, which is the right and left side of the fabric and which side is the face side of the fabric. These strips will then be used in the light box for reviewing end-to-end, side-to-side and roll-to-roll shading. Use the head strip to check for end-to-center shading during the inspection.
•
Inspect the fabric using the recommended form that is included in the manual and mark the faults and their points. Run the inspection machine at a speed that allows you to see the defects properly, yet keeps the fabric moving in a steady and smooth
