Below are the inspections, we normally perform with our standard with our esteemed clients for each SKU;
Initial sample review/PP meeting/selection meeting: This helps factories/ customers to understand the limitation, performance/ legal testing requirements to have clear visibility.
This normally done with the factory people after receiving the order and before starting production to ensure that they have agreed to meet all the tolerance level, quality requirements in detail, legal and testing requirements and also a time for them to highlight any concern due to product limitations.
Inline inspection: To review the initial production lot to ensure that factories are inline with customers expectation on each aspects of product/ packaging etc.
Mid inspection: This inspection is carried out during finishing and packaging stage to avoid any last moment variations and to check that all production lot/ packaging/ trims and accessories are in line and compliant as required.
Final inspection: When the goods are ready and packed. Inspection is done always as per AQL standard requested by clients. We as a company follow AQL 1.5/ 4 level 2 for final inspections.
Above to all, we keep visiting factories un-announced based on their performance level and consistency on quality and compliance.
