Quality Inspection Service ensures that products, materials, or systems meet specific standards, regulations, and customer requirements. It involves detailed assessments, testing, and verification to identify defects, deviations, or inconsistencies before products reach the market or move to the next production stage.
Pre-production inspection verifies raw materials' quality to prevent factories from using substandard components, which could lead to defects or failures in the final product, such as electronics with incorrect parts.
The pre-production inspection can also focus on the processes followed as production starts. Sometimes this can also be critical, many factories very often cut corners and do not respect the blueprints (e.g. patterns for cutting fabric are received from the buyer, and they are modified to make the process easier and faster).
A During Production Inspection (DUPRO) assesses product quality during multiple production cycles. It's a valuable but underrated tool, as many organizations focus solely on final inspections instead of ongoing quality checks.
It usually takes place once some finished products have come out of the lines. If quality issues are found, what is already produced might be re-workable, and corrective actions can be taken for the rest of the job. It gives time to plan ahead, and even to avoid delays (repairs and re-inspections take much more time when problems are noticed after all production is finished).
The final random inspection (also called “pre-shipment inspection”) is by far the most common type of QC check. It takes place once 100% of shipment quantity is finished and at least 80% is packed, so it can be a real random inspection.
Its objective is really to confirm a shipment’s quality, rather than catching issues early. Therefore we usually advise our clients to complement final inspections with a DUPRO, to avoid finding disasters at the last minute.
