Africa Quality Gemba Walk Checklist

This Africa-focused Quality Gemba Walk checklist helps manufacturing teams, especially in apparel and textile plants, assess production quality from incoming components to final inspection. It covers components and accessories storage conditions and FIFO, availability of validated reference samples, and control plans. In cutting, it verifies relaxing processes, shrinkage reports, marker setup, and procedures for isolating nonconforming pieces. On assembly lines, it checks workstation organization, operator adherence to SOP and DPR, identification of key stations, product traceability along the line, clear control methods, and defect classification with defined reaction modes. End of line checks confirm correct segregation of conforming and nonconforming goods, rework controls, and the presence of essential production files such as measurement charts, master samples, technical packs, DCS, and calibrated tools. The AQL section ensures trained inspectors, adherence to Decathlon AQL, proper reporting and archiving, calibrated measuring tools, carton dimension control, and adapted control plans.
