This project aims at developing a quick response quality management (QRQM) software system prototype and to support the apparel auditing activities carried out by third-party apparel auditing companies. The system will meet the requirement of third-party audit and will be flexible enough to enable both off-shore and in-shore audits. The trial will be mainly conducted in the testing labs of the Hong Kong Apparel Society's assigned third-party auditing company in Hong Kong and part of the trial will be conducted where the auditors conduct the audits outside Hong Kong.
