Recommended when ordering a product for the first time or working with a new factory
-
Takes place when only the first 0-20% of the production has been completed allowing for immediate insight into the actual capacity and preparation level at the factory, and potential production issues while these is still time to adjust
-
Specialized inspection teams check the initial finished goods and provide you important info from the factory floor including the true production timeline, factory's real production capacity and what in the production process is causing quality issues
-
We check the status of raw materials, packaging materials, components and partially completed goods and verify that the materials the factory has promised to use are the ones they have actually ordered
The most effective way of preventing last minute quality related delays is by inspecting and monitoring the product early in the manufacturing process. By initiating a rigorous inspection weeks or even months before your shipment is due, we can ensure that the quality and timely delivery of your merchandise is never in jeopardy. DUPRO and Early Production Inspections not only check the initial products coming off the line in a manner consistent with our Final Pre-Shipment Inspection techniques (see above), but also check and document the status of raw materials, components, and partially finished goods.
You will receive a report containing information about production flow, equipment use, production capacity, and any potential issues or bottlenecks -- all in an easy to understand format. After reviewing the findings with you, we will help you take any necessary corrective or preventative actions, ensuring that next-steps are understood and implemented by factory management.
Key elements of DUPRO and Early Production Inspections are:
The most effective way of ensuring product quality and preventing last minute delays - know ahead of time about potential issues and correct a small problem before it turns into a big one
Rigorous inspection of the initial finished product AND raw materials, components, and partially finished goods
Clear presentation of the production flow, equipment use and production capacity
InTouch ensures that necessary corrective actions are well understood by the factory and will be implemented
