yesterday launched a programme, aiming to improve the quality of
apparel items in its member factories. The programme, quality
improvement programme (QIP), was launched in collaboration with GTZ
(German Technical Cooperation). QIP will help 20 factories at two
stages to improve production quality. "Although the apparel products
of Bangladesh are well-known for maintaining high quality, there is
ample scope to reduce wastage by improving the quality," BGMEA
President Abdus Salam Murshedy told the launching ceremony. He hoped
that QIP will help attain better productivity and higher quality
reducing overhead and operating costs, and brining dynamism into the
operation process. The BGMEA chief said they are now focusing on
providing assistance to their member factories both on productivity
and quality, as the improvement of this level could be a key catalyst
to move ahead in the competitive market. Programme Coordinator of GTZ
Deitrich Stotz hoped that improved Bangladeshi products would able to
grab more shares in the global market.
