Warp Knitted Velvet Decorative Sofa Fabrics Suppliers: Raw Materials Classification Management and Quality Control Strategy

2025-01-16

1. Raw Materials Classification
Raw materials classification is the cornerstone of classification management. In the production of Warp Knitted Velvet Decorative Sofa Fabrics, there are many kinds of raw materials, including but not limited to yarn, base fabric, dyes, auxiliaries, etc. The degree of influence of these raw materials on the final product varies, so suppliers will carefully classify them according to their importance.

Core raw materials: such as yarn and base fabric, which are the basis of the fabric and directly affect the strength, feel, appearance and durability of the fabric. Such raw materials require strict quality control, including raw material source, fiber composition, yarn count, strength and other indicators.
Auxiliary raw materials: such as dyes and auxiliaries, which are used to give fabrics color and specific functions (such as waterproof and fireproof). Although these materials do not directly constitute the fabric structure, their quality and stability are equally important because they directly affect the color fastness, environmental performance and functionality of the fabric.
General raw materials: such as packaging materials, labels, etc., although they have little impact on product quality, they also need to meet certain standards and requirements to ensure the overall image and compliance of the product.

2. Supplier Management
Classification management is not limited to the raw materials themselves, but also extends to the selection and management of suppliers.
Supplier evaluation: The selection of suppliers is based on multiple dimensions such as their production capacity, quality management system, historical performance, price competitiveness, etc. For suppliers of core raw materials, supplier evaluation is particularly strict, which may include on-site audits, sample testing, small batch trials and other steps.
Supplier classification: According to the evaluation results, suppliers are divided into different levels, such as strategic suppliers, priority suppliers, ordinary suppliers, etc. Suppliers of different levels enjoy different treatments, such as purchase volume, payment terms, technical support, etc., to encourage suppliers to continuously improve and enhance.
Supplier cooperation: Establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship, promote collaboration between suppliers and suppliers through regular communication, joint research and development, sharing of market information, etc., and jointly improve product quality and market competitiveness.

3. Procurement strategy
The procurement strategy under the guidance of classification management aims to optimize costs, ensure quality and improve supply chain flexibility.
Centralized procurement: For core raw materials, centralized procurement strategies are used to reduce costs and ensure the quality and supply stability of raw materials by using economies of scale.
Diversified procurement: For auxiliary raw materials and general raw materials, diversified procurement strategies are adopted to disperse risks and avoid potential risks brought by dependence on a single supplier.
Dynamic adjustment: According to market changes, supplier performance and product demand, procurement strategies are dynamically adjusted, such as adjusting procurement volume, changing suppliers, introducing new suppliers, etc., to maintain the flexibility and competitiveness of the supply chain.

4. Specific application of classification management in quality control
Raw material inspection: Different inspection standards and processes are formulated according to the classification of raw materials. For core raw materials, more stringent inspections are implemented, including raw material composition analysis, physical property testing, chemical property testing, etc., to ensure that the raw materials meet the design requirements.
Production process control: During the production process, different quality control measures are implemented according to the classification of raw materials. For core raw materials such as yarn and base fabric, advanced production equipment and technology are used to strictly control production parameters to ensure stable product quality.
Finished product inspection: Finished product inspection also follows the principle of classification management. For key performance indicators such as abrasion resistance, color fastness, environmental protection performance, etc., more stringent tests are carried out to ensure that the products meet customer requirements and industry standards.
Continuous improvement: We identify quality problems and potential risks by collecting customer feedback, internal audits, data analysis, etc. We formulate targeted improvement measures based on the classification of raw materials, such as optimizing production processes, changing suppliers, strengthening raw material inspection, etc., to continuously improve product quality and competitiveness.
