1. DEFECT SEPARATION SAVES TIME DURING PRODUCT INSPECTION
There are numerous processes in the manufacturing process that can result in a variety of product defects and other quality issues. For instance, in the furniture industry, an excess epoxy from the gluing process could be left on the chair. Furthermore, the environment in which the chair is packed and stored also influences the product. It could cause the wood to be moldy and leave the furniture misshapen. Each manufacturing process has the potential to cause a defect in a product.
However, how defects are discovered and reported during the inspection is necessary. After checking all of the units in the sample size, an inspector must take note and photograph the defect. When all defective products are separated from the good products, it can save time, which can save you money on inspection costs.
2. DEFECT SEPARATION PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY
Both buyers and quality control inspectors want that the factory management will be completely cooperative during the product inspection process. However, some suppliers are not transparent enough. Imagine that you’re inspecting a product.
When your inspector finds a defective unit, he will label it with a defect sticker and place it together with the good products. By the end of the inspection, you could have tens of defective products all in one location. Factory workers could easily remove the defect sticker from the product in the hopes of changing the inspection outcome. As a result, it is important that inspectors properly separate, give a code, and take a picture of the defective products in order to reduce this risk.
3. DEFECT SEPARATION HELPS IN ANALYZING THE PROBLEMS
The quality control service does not only help you to ensure your products’ quality. Furthermore, an experienced Quality Control company is able to offer insight into the root cause of the defects by separating the defective products based on the cause.
If the defective units are placed together unclassified in the same area, it can be difficult to determine the process that caused a specific defect. As a result, defect separation is essential for accurate reporting and problem-solving. An inspector can better understand the type and origin of a defect by separating and labeling it during a product inspection. This is important information that the quality inspector will be able to provide you in his report.
To Sum Up
No matter where your product is manufactured, whether in Indonesia, China, Vietnam, or elsewhere, very few factories will be able to complete your order perfectly and without defects. However, defect separation during product inspection ensures that you know exactly what you’re getting before your order ships. Here are three reasons why defects should be separated during inspection:
- Defect separation saves time
- Defect separation provide transparency; and
- Defect separation helps find the cause of defects
Inspection service, when performed properly, will give you a lot of benefits. So ask your QC provider what procedures they have in place for separating defects during the inspection. And make sure you’re getting the best benefit from the money you have invested.
