Quality of Construction Processes of Government Supplied Uniforms in the West Akyem Municipality of Ghana

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of construction processes of government supplied uniforms in the west akyem municipality of Ghana. The study was a descriptive survey carried out at the west akyem municipal assembly. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were utilized to select respondents. The manufacturers were those recruited to sew the uniforms in the municipality. Two (2) quality control personnel were contacted to assess the constructional details of the free school uniforms sewed. Data was quantitatively collected using observation guide and questionnaire. Data collected was tabulated, interpreted and discussed using descriptive statistics. This involved the use of frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations. Though the manufacturers rated themselves as excellent, the assessors rated the uniforms unsatisfactory. Most of the constructional processes in the fsus did not meet international quality standards. Based on the findings, the study recommends that before a project of such kind starts, a brief course should be organised by stakeholders for manufacturers involved.
