From coordinating with the suppliers to prepping for shipments on time, coping with an array of production activities is a challenge faced by a lot of enterprises. It is also quite taxing to ensure whether the quality of the products is good or not keeping the resource and budgetary constraints in mind.

This is where third-party inspection companies in China and other Asian countries come to the rescue. From inspection services to Audit services, they execute a foolproof quality control inspection tailored to the business needs of the company. Let’s find out how they conduct a comprehensive Quality Control protocol on a variety of products before, during, and after the production process.

Initial production quality check: The vetting process gets started before the production begins where the QC professionals identify and evaluates the credibility of the intended supplier. This is conducted either at the vendor’s office or the factory site.

During Production quality Inspection: During Production quality inspection, also known as DUPRO, is the examination process of investigating the appearance, weight, size, functionality, appendages, artwork, packaging, packing, and other relevant features of products. This is an important stage to identify the defects and other related production loopholes to reduce rejection rates in future.

Final random inspection: This is a follow-up DUPRO service that checks the finished products ready to be packaged and shipped by the supplier. This generally involves a superficial inspection of the physical features of the products including the packaging and packing. The inspection process is performed at the factory, during freight forwarding, and at the port.

Loading supervision: From confirming the container’s status to final packing inspection, this QC process takes control of the product loading procedure just before the supplier is about to ship. The process involves monitoring the carton, filling, levels, packaging, and labor.

Production monitoring: This evaluation process encompasses real-time supervision of the entire production activity. The inspectors provide daily feedback with the feedback of the supplier’s production capabilities that may include early warning insights and assess the operator’s competency.

This is important to prevent suppliers who are inefficient and help them negotiate with the right suppliers aligned with the business requirements of the client.

Social Audit:This QC control is conducted to ensure the suppliers adhere to the acceptable worker’s rights and other standardized norms. This process is often requested by the clients to nurture their socially conscious attribute and maintain a good reputation in the market.
