Because of the competition from Chinese clothing manufacturers quality management and a change in strategies of Polish clothing manufacturing companies has become a must. The garment industry in Europe was not in a very good condition until 2000, which seems to be related to the fact that this is a mature and very disperse sector, where the cost of workforce is over 60% of a product value in manufacturer [3]. The clothing companies which have survived until today are those which can boast about high-quality products. One of significant reasons for this is a higher standard of life of inhabitants of Europe, and consequently, higher demands. Customers are ready to pay much more for good-quality clothes. In order to produce clothes of high quality interoperational control and final control are the necessary elements of the production process. Complexity and laboriousness of the manufacturing process result in the fact that the larger a batch of garments is the more often quality should be checked between operations. It allows to detect a maximum number of defects and to eliminate them. In order to reduce a number of defects in the manufacturing process they should be regularly recorded and their structure and mutual relations should be analysed. In Polish realities such activities are just being initiated. It is necessary to change the current approach which is often limited to recording defects without their comprehensive analysis. It does not lead to detecting defects, and consequently, to significant reduction of their number. The purpose for undertaking this subject was to identify causes of occurrence of garment manufacturing defects in series production and to find the relation between these defects and a human factor. According to the above the following hypothesis has been formulated: There is a direct relation between conditions of working environment, first of all such as: lighting of workstations, work monotony, and maksimum number of garment manufacturing defectes manufactured in X clothing manufacturing company examined.
