Production Monitoring or During Production Inspection

Quality inspection companies have a tough job of deciding whether a product has matched the market standards and benchmark that is expected. They take the call and document the problem areas that they figure out in the product. Business houses depend a lot on inspection teams because problems when found by the quality control team imply a lot of cost cutting. You understand the problems that your product has earlier than usual and you can make the changes in your next production phase. Inspecting products post production involves a lot of investment already made and finding problems later implies the huge money invested all gone.

Business houses can save a lot and improve their financial stability by relying on an inspection company. They need to give the entire responsibility to the quality control team so that they can carry out their processes accurately.

• Check the quality of products at several stages of production. Shot inspections between production processes is the best and the most effective solutions.
• Have complete control over the production by having an inspection professional in the factory throughout.

These are the two broad inspection concepts that all inspection companies and professionals follow. Let us take a closer look at both these approaches.

During Production Inspection

The process of during production inspection implies sending an inspector to the factory where the production is taking place. Visiting the factory indicates checking the infrastructure and identifying the potential problems that the products might have.

This inspection drill needs to check the three major aspects of production:

• Raw Materials
• Process
• Quality of Product

Checking the three major aspects is important and the inspection team needs to make sure that these aspects match the standards. The production process can be controlled and dominated if any problem is found by the inspection team. Resolving the issues is important and that is the major reason for them to have complete control over the production. But they can exercise this control only when they have found certain discrepancies.

Production Monitoring

This process is slightly different from the above mentioned process of ensuring quality control. Production monitoring is a process through which you allocate inspectors to the factory to have an overall supervision in the factory. The inspector is required to observe closely the entire production process with an eye for detail. During this phase of observing closely they need to follow the same quality control processes that is expected from a professional inspector. When an inspector is allotted a particular factory, they need to document all facts which they consider important. Documentation process is the best way to have facts and validate them later if need be.

The choice now remains completely with business houses about how they want their inspection team to exercise control over the production.
