Tolerance
Tolerance
Tolerance refers to the allowable variation or deviation from specified measurements, colors, or construction details in a garment. It defines the acceptable limits for differences in dimensions, stitching, or other technical aspects between the approved sample and bulk production.
At Megaya Bali, tolerance standards are applied meticulously to ensure that all garments meet quality expectations while accommodating minor, acceptable variations inherent in textile manufacturing.
Why It’s Important
Tolerance is critical because it:
– Maintains garment quality, ensuring deviations do not compromise fit, function, or appearance
– Provides clarity for production teams, specifying the range of acceptable differences
– Reduces disputes, preventing disagreements between brands and manufacturers over minor variations
– Supports quality control, guiding inspectors in identifying acceptable vs. unacceptable deviations
– Facilitates efficient production, allowing slight adjustments without halting workflow
– Protects brand reputation, as consistent quality is maintained across production batches
Without clearly defined tolerance, even small discrepancies could result in inconsistent sizing, uneven finishes, or dissatisfaction from clients and customers.
How Tolerance Works at Megaya Bali
Megaya Bali integrates tolerance specifications into all stages of garment production, from cutting to final inspection.
1. Specification Setting
Tolerance levels are defined for key measurements, stitch lengths, seam allowances, and color differences
Based on garment type, material, and design complexity
2. Production Monitoring
Inline QC verifies that all measurements and construction details stay within defined tolerances
Operators are informed of the acceptable ranges for dimensions and finishing
3. Final Quality Assurance
During final inspection, garments are measured and compared against the approved tolerance limits
Any deviations beyond the acceptable range are corrected or flagged
4. Documentation & Reference
Tolerance records are maintained for traceability and future production runs
Ensures consistent adherence to client standards across all batches
Megaya Key Advantages of Tolerance Management
Megaya Bali’s approach to tolerance ensures:
– Consistency across production batches, reducing variations in size, fit, and finish
– Clear expectations for operators and QC, preventing misunderstandings and errors
– Accurate quality control, allowing for objective evaluation of garment conformity
– Reduced material waste, as minor acceptable deviations do not require discarding products
– Client confidence, knowing products meet high standards while respecting the realities of textile manufacturing
– Support for repeat orders, as tolerance standards are documented and replicated for future runs
At Megaya Bali, tolerance management is a vital component of precise, professional, and high-quality garment production. By defining and adhering to acceptable limits, we ensure that every garment meets both design intent and functional standards, delivering reliable results that brands can trust.
