Root cause analysis is a problem solving technique to identify the root cause for a defect. It is a drill down approach where a selected problem is worked through quality control tools like fishbone diagram, 5-why analysis ,4M matrix, tree diagram etc. till a final actionable root cause is found.

Acceptable Quality level(AQL) sampling for garments quality inspections
Inspecting 100 % of the garments is time taking and practically impossible for manufacturers or buyers as the order quantities are higher in the garment industry .So there is a need to mathematically find out the optimum number of products (garments in this case) which can be inspected to judge the quality of the whole order. That is where AQL sampling comes to play.

Quality is free, what costs money is defects- all the activities resulting from not doing things right the first time. It is always cheaper and efficient to do things right the first time
Doing things right the first time(DRIFT)/Zero defect(ZD)
Doing things right the first time (DRIFT)/Zero defect(ZD) was coined was Philip Crosby in his book Quality is free. According to him Quality is free, what costs money is defects- all the activities resulting from not doing things right the first time. It is always cheaper and efficient to do things right the first time[1] Crosby’s response to the quality crisis was the principle of “doing things right the first time” (DRIFT).
