During Production Inspection Services for Quality Control and Early Defect Detection

A During Production Inspection (DUPRO) is a quality control check that occurs while production is in progress, typically when 10-20% of the production has been completed. This type of inspection is vital when working with a new supplier or a product with stringent quality requirements.

DUPRO helps to catch issues early, giving you an opportunity to correct any defects or deviations in materials or production processes before they affect the entire order. It also helps ensure that timelines are met and quality standards are maintained throughout the production process.

For companies producing large volumes or dealing with high-value products, DUPRO is a proactive measure to prevent costly mistakes that could arise later in the production cycle.

A During Production Inspection is crucial for:

• Early Detection of Issues: Spot problems such as material defects, quality discrepancies, or process inefficiencies before they affect the whole batch.
• Monitoring Production Processes: Ensure that manufacturing is happening according to your specifications and timelines, preventing delays.
• Reducing Risk: By monitoring the first 10-20% of production, you can take corrective action immediately, reducing the risk of poor-quality products.
• Ensuring Compliance: With detailed reports, you can verify that the factory is adhering to agreed-upon standards and production protocols.
• Building Supplier Trust: Continuous checks build a more transparent, collaborative relationship between you and your supplier, ensuring they meet your quality expectations.

DUPRO minimizes the chances of receiving non-compliant products, making it an invaluable step for ensuring product quality and protecting your investment.

After the During Production Inspection is conducted, TIC will provide you with a detailed inspection report. This includes:

• Photographs of the production process at various stages.
• Analysis of any discrepancies between the production output and your specifications.
• Recommendations for corrective actions, if necessary.
• A report on the current production status, allowing you to track progress and anticipate any potential delays.

This report serves as a vital tool to decide whether to move forward, make adjustments, or halt production to correct issues before further investments are made.

The best time for a During Production Inspection (DUPRO) is when around 10-20% of the production is complete. This allows enough time to monitor the production process but early enough to address any issues before the full batch is produced.

TIC's inspector monitors the production line, inspecting the semi-finished products, materials, quality control processes, and production workflow. Random samples are checked, and the status is documented to provide a full report on the production's progress.

DUPRO helps to catch issues early, saving you from costly mistakes later in the production cycle. It provides assurance that your production is on track, reducing risks of defects, delays, and non-compliance.
