Process variation in gloves manufacturing is one of major problem which is deviating the levels of quality. It is becoming more challenging than before especially in the medical gloves manufacturing area. The demand for a higher quality gloves product is getting tougher to meet and new technology to fulfill the demand is needed to meet the extended requirement. The method of confirming gloves product quality through sampling and AQL levels is getting more costly as it could lead to false sampling which extended to severe customer complaint and disastrous product recall. A higher technology with 100% product inspection is essential to ensure the gloves produced is 100% free from defects. The purpose of this research is to provide a better assurance of product before shipped to customer by eliminating the sampling size method and replace it with a 100% inspection method .A machine was developed by a machine manufacturer which is called Leak Test Machine to sort out defected gloves with pin holes.
