Traffic Light System is a visual quality control tool used in garment manufacturing to reduce defects at their source. It works by randomly inspecting operators' workstations and placing colored cards - green for meeting quality standards, yellow for minor faults, and red for not meeting standards. This alerts operators to quality issues and allows immediate corrective action. Studies show the system can increase production capacity by 5% and lower rework rates from 2.14% to 1.01% by motivating operators and catching defects earlier. It is an effective yet easy to implement system that can improve quality, costs, lead times and supply chain performance for apparel companies.
