1. 1. Bulk comes out lighter than the approved standard from the second machine. What is the first controlled step?

   Re-wash everything darkerCompare the recorded parameters of both machines and run a machine-specific trial, because mechanical action and liquor ratio differChange the standardIncrease enzyme dosing on all loads

2. 2. Why is a physical shade standard kept and assessed under controlled light?

   For the fileBecause shade judgement changes with light source and memory, so a standard plus controlled light makes the decision repeatableBecause digital photos are illegalOnly for dark shades

3. 3. Garments from one fabric batch show more abrasion damage after the same stone process. What does this indicate?

   Operator errorFabric batch difference in construction or strength interacting with the mechanical process, so the batch needs its own trialThe machine is brokenThe chemical was wrong

4. 4. Shade drifts darker at the midpoint of a production run. What do you do with the pieces already washed?

   Pack them with the restQuarantine by load, assess against the shade band, then decide re-wash, re-group or a buyer conversationRe-wash all of them immediatelyShip and inform nobody

5. 5. Which record makes a wash reproducible on a different shift?

   The chemical invoiceA process sheet with load, liquor ratio, temperature, time, dosing sequence and mechanical actionThe garment photoThe operator's name

6. 6. Effluent readings rise after a recipe change nobody logged. What has failed besides the environment control?

   Nothing elseChange control — an unlogged recipe change removes the link between process and result, so neither shade nor discharge can be explainedOnly the dosing pumpOnly the laboratory
