A job that inspects the appearance, weave pattern, color unevenness, stains, etc., of woven fabric products to check if they meet quality standards.
Description

They record inspection results and sort out defective products. If there are issues in the production line processes or materials, they collaborate with manufacturing staff to investigate causes and propose improvements.

They play an important role in ensuring the quality of textile products.
