In developed countries, the application of the quality management system (QMS) is widely proven. However, in developing countries, like Pakistan, industries are not mature enough to understand and implement the system. The aim of this study is to examine the perception of quality, implementation of QMS and cost of quality (COQ) program in value-added garment sector, which is one of the major subsectors of textile industry in Pakistan. The methodology of the study is a questionnaire survey. The findings suggest that the majority of the respondent firms have well implemented quality management (QM) practices. Trend of results also depicts that most of the organizations wish to acquire ISO certification, which shows that the industrial processes are customer-centered thus striving to fulfil customer requirements. It can also be concluded that most of the organizations lack the COQ concept, its understanding and appropriate implementation.

This paper aims to determine the level of awareness and implementation of measuring CoQ in MIEs in Yemen. In contrast, this study was based on the traditional CoQ Prevention-Appraisal-Failure (PAF) model. Also, this paper proposes a suitable model for measuring CoQ in MIEs based on the research results. The Applied research focused on large companies where CoQ programs in the majority of companies operate as a subsystem of underlying management. Managers of large companies use indicators to control and evaluate performance for production quality. Still, they usually do not develop a separate framework for measuring and assessing CoQ. As a result, this research attempted to answer the question, Are Yemeni industrial companies interested in measuring, analyzing, and reporting CoQ items (prevention, appraisal, and failure costs) concerned in their industry? It also determines the extent these companies are interested in measuring, and analyzing hidden CoQ. According to this research findings, most major companies in Yemen are aware of and practice measuring CoQ. At the same time, the study showed that these companies are still not interested in measuring the hidden CoQ in their manufacturing.

Rapid developments in international competition have obliged textile enterprises to take new approaches in order to gain a competitive advantage. The limits of acceptable quality levels for the enterprises have fallen back down to critical points due to the effects of liberal policies in international markets. Total Quality Management (TQM) keeps vital role in improving productivity, product quality and reduces manufacturing cost by reducing rework and scrape. TQM method has a great applicability in RMG sector. As RMG sector is the largest industrial sector of Bangladesh, Product Quality improvement can play a vital role in opening the doors of great opportunities for the country. To perform this study we take help of the tools of TQM such as Flow chart, Check sheet, Histogram, Pareto Chart, Scatter Diagram, Control Chart, Cause and effect diagram from various garment industries of Bangladesh to analyse collected data which were collected through observation method and it is found that a significant amount of rework and scrape per style, per month has minimized by applying this method. Implementing Total quality control applications are gaining in importance

This survey based study explored the implementation of lean manufacturing practices in textile industries of Pakistan. A total of 76 responses were received. The results of the study showed that the textile sector is at the beginning stage of lean implementation – more than half of the surveyed companies were in-transition to implement lean. The most important driver to implement lean was found to be organization's continuous improvement program followed by the drive to focus on customers, and desire to use best practices. The respondents perceived cost reduction to be the biggest benefit that can be achieved by implementing lean, followed by customer satisfaction, and improved delivery time. Among tools and techniques 5S, quality control circles, kaizen and SMED were used extensively. Manufacturing planning and control was not formally implemented. Human resource related factors were perceived to be crucial to effectively implement lean. Level of implementation was found to have a significant relationship with the size and the type of company and not with the age of the company. Lack of awareness to implement lean, company culture, lack of communication, and employee resistance were the main barriers faced by the sample companies during the implementation of lean.

Timely and reliable measurement of manufacturing performance improvements after lean initiation in terms of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) not only enables the organization to evaluate the success of lean implementation, but, also to understand key areas for future improvements. Keeping the importance of using Key Performance Indicators (KPI), the present study was designed to comparatively assess the improvement in manufacturing performance among lean and non-lean initiated apparel units of National Capital Region (India) in terms of manufacturing key performance indicators-productivity, quality, work in progress and efficiency. The study was limited to 10 lean initiated and non-lean initiated apparel units each manufacturing the ladies garments in NCR. Apparel units in National Capital Region (NCR), India were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria from the member list of Apparel Export Promotion Council, Gurgaon, India. A common full sleeve collar ladies top or shirt style was selected for this study. The Time Study Method was used to record the time taken to accomplish various operations involved in manufacturing of the selected common garment. Data was collected for all production days of the chosen design style. The result revealed that the lean initiated apparel export firms had higher operator productivity, total labor productivity and efficiency than the non-lean initiated units. Defect per hundred units and percentage defective in the lean initiated units were found significantly lower than the non-lean initiated units except for work in progress. Year of lean initiation was found to have significant difference in the performance of an apparel unit in the terms of efficiency and quality except for the productivity and work in progress. The research aimed to bring about awareness regarding positive impact of implementation of lean as the ultimate solution which could drive the global apparel industry towards achieving business excellence in today's heightened cut throat competition in the global apparel sector.

Textiles or clothing is one of the fundamental needs of human being. Today human being does not only meet this basic need, but also inclined to more fashion garments. They are introducing new and more fashion items on a regular basis to cope with the present era. That's why the RMG (Ready Made Garment) sector is running to its full swing with a huge variety of fashions. Bangladesh is one of the most promising garments manufacturing country in the present world now. It is now 2 nd largest textile and garments exporter in the world market. Textile and RMG sector is the core portion of this country's national economy as it earns nearly 81% foreign currencies from RMG sector [1]. It's now a crying need and todays demand to prepare a best RMG sector so that it can meet the growing demand more effectively. Besides, today's market is much more competitive and the only driving factor to sustain in this market is nothing but quality. So ensuring quality in RMG sector is the burning question now. To ensure this crucial factor (quality) there are so many tools and techniques have been emerged and implemented now-a-days. Among them the smartest and latest technique is Total Quality Management (TQM) Principles. By implementing TQM effectively, a production environment can be ensured which delivers quality products. In this research it will be pulled out, why TQM principles are vital and what the effects of implementing TQM in the apparel industry.

Cost-effectiveness of kang ai injection plus chemotherapy vs. shenqi fuzheng injection plus chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer provisionally accepted.

• 1 Center for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, School of International Pharmaceutical Business,China Pharmaceutical University, China

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of two Chinese patent medicines, including Kang Ai injection and Shenqi Fuzheng injection with each combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in China. Methods: From Chinese healthcare system perspective, a three state Markov model with a cycle of three weeks and a ten-year horizon was constructed to derive the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Since only individual patient data of progression-free survival of Kang Ai injection group can be obtained, we extrapolated median overall survival (mOS) of Kang AI injection group and median progression-free survival (mPFS) and mOS of Shenqi Fuzheng injection group based on published literature and methods. Then survival curves were estimated by the method of declining exponential approximation of life expectancy (DEALE), which is based on the assumption that survival follows a declining exponential function. We performed one-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis to test the robustness. Additionally, a scenario analysis was adopted to investigate the impact of using best-fitting distribution for progression-free survival (PFS) curve of Kang Ai injection group on the economic conclusion. Results: The base-case result indicated that Kang Ai injection group provided 0.217 incremental quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at an incremental cost of $103.38 compared with Shenqi Fuzheng injection group. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was $476.41/QALY, which was much lower than the willingness to pay threshold of one time the GDP per capita of China in 2022 ($12,070/QALY). Deterministic sensitivity analysis result showed that ICER was most sensitive to the changes in odds ratio (OR) value. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of base-case analysis results. The scenario analysis result showed that by using Log-Normal distribution to fit the PFS curve of Kang Ai injection group and shortening the time horizon to five years, the ICER was $4,081.83/QALY, which was still much lower than the willingness to pay threshold. Conclusion: Kang Ai injection combined with platinum-based chemotherapy appeared to be more cost-effective for the treatment of advanced NSCLC than Shenqi Fuzheng injection combined with platinum-based chemotherapy.

The high competitiveness makes the quest for production cost reduction a constant in the market, but it is necessary to reduce costs without compromising quality. When a product is in the manufacturing and this has to be scraped, we have more cost than the raw material used, it is necessary to consider the manpower and operations, thus to calculate the cost added to the product. Continuous quality improvement is a key factor in the strategy for competitiveness. Quality cost is one tool, among many others, that can help in continuous quality improvement. Properly applying quality cost techniques is critical to these efforts. Initially, a complete quality cost study could provide awareness and guidance to a steering committee on what cross-discipline teams and improvement projects should be started. The cross discipline teams also can use quality cost special studies to help in focusing efforts. In this paper cost of poor quality analysis has been done using different techniques which are currently applying in automobile industry to assess quality cost.
