CAP is a 2-day assessment of any companies' dyeing facility:
- The laboratory
- The production
- The QM procedures
All are examined by our Swiss dye house engineers. Based upon their findings they will issue a status Level regarding the Level of professionalism of current process set up and performance levels.
More importantly these experts will develop a hand's on list of to-do actions for the dye house manager to improve current processes to reach Best Practice based on available equipment.
3 years with certification
If CAP is done first time, it is valid for 3 years including the license period of the software. CAP is acknowledged by several retailers / brands and you can benefit from an "1 certification fits several clients" approach.
Licence to improve
Companies will get a special software kit that allows online data tracking in Real-Time. This software generates meaningful statistics that are easy to understand. Please note that the way of working with current software Tools or iQC are not changed - your operators will still work the traditional way - only the way of how the data is managed has been changed and made more convenient for examination.
There is no need to become CAP certified several times a year, and you do not need to become CAP certified individually for each acknowledging retailer/brand.
