What is the major and minor quality of 5000pices garments at AQL 1.5?
At an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 1.5 for a batch of 5,000 garments, the major quality defects are those that significantly affect the garment's functionality or aesthetic, such as incorrect sizing, severe stitching issues, or fabric flaws. Minor quality defects are less impactful and might include minor stitching irregularities or slight color mismatches. For a 5,000-piece lot, AQL 1.5 typically allows for a maximum of 75 defects (major and minor combined), with a stricter limit on the number of major defects. Thus, maintaining quality standards is crucial to minimize both types of defects.
