Many importers prefer to conduct a pre-shipment inspection rather than during production inspection. One of them once told us that “Why should I invest more money in inspecting a product before it is complete? I think the product quality can be determined after it is finished. Isn’t it?”
Is that so? In this article, we will dig more information about during production inspection, and why this inspection can be your quality solution.
DURING PRODUCTION INSPECTION TO MINIMIZE THE BIGGER RISK
Conducting a during production inspection can prevent the bigger risk that might happen after the production is complete and also this can prevent the delayed shipment. Why? Because you can discover wrong colors and dimensions, defects, or other quality standards of the products earlier if you inspect them during production, or before they are packaged and ready to ship.
This is critical because this inspection allows us to pinpoint the problems and effectively anticipate them before the supplier continues any further down the production line. On the other hand, if we wait until the products are packed and ready to ship before performing a final inspection, we may discover bigger problems with the order, which can cause the delayed shipment.
