To help our suppliers maintain quality at every stage of the production process,
our expert inspectors assess the quality of components, materials and products during
manufacturing. We will identify if there are any deviations, and offer advice on
corrective measures and re-check any defects during Pre-Production Inspection to
confirm they have been rectified.
This is conducted when between 20% and 80% of goods have been produced, and performed
on-site, our DUPRO inspection service assesses samples against regulations, standards
and your contractual agreements, highlighting actual or potential defects so that
they can be addressed them immediately rather than deal with costly tests and changes
to your products later in the production process. This also helps in ensuring that
during inspection of randomly selected units from all completed batches of your
production we will notify you of deviations from original specifications if any,
and if your production is still on schedule.
What is checked during this stage:
An inspection during production can help in identifying the following issues:
1. Non-conformity to Buyer’s Requirements:
All the relevant aspects of the product (quantity, components, assembly, aesthetics,
function, size, labelling, packaging etc) are controlled, based on the buyer’s specification.
2. Delays:
This inspection will show case any delays that may be happening. The inspections
held during this stage will strengthen the on schedule adherence of the goods and
also to take corrective/preventive action for any slippages that may be happening.
3. Technical Issues/Limitations/Rectifications:
Mostly in the handicraft industry the buyer sees a sample and places order based
on sample approvals. In handicraft industry sometimes making few pieces by hand
during sample stage and making few hundred pieces in production is different and
controlling quality on approved sample during production is much more challenging.
Frequent During Production Inspections (Midline Inspections) will help un earth
any technical issues/limitations/ design flaws etc. and is one of the most important
aspect to ascertain especially for the Handicraft Products.
4. Functionality Tests:
These inspections ensure that the functionality of the product is as per the desired
specifications of the customers. For example: a full function check, to make sure
that a Floor Lamp actually works is an important indication of the functionality
of the product.
The Results of these inspections is that it improves production processes and quality.
