Initial Production Checking
An Initial Production Check is an on-site Product Inspection performed before your production begins, up until 20% has been completed. A preliminary inspection of all machinery and materials to be used in your production, an IPC is the first step in ensuring the quality of your product will be consistent throughout production. An IPC is an early-warning system that safeguards your product against costly import risks
During Production Inspection
A During Production Check is an on-site Product Inspection performed when 20-80% of your production is completed and packed for shipping. This inspection of randomly selected units from all completed batches of your production informs you whether or not your factory is continuing to follow your original specifications, and if your production is still on schedule. A DUPRO keeps your production on the right track.
Final Random Inspection
A Final RandomInspection is a systematic inspection of units selected at random from all batches of your order, conducted when your production is at least 80% complete. This is your final opportunity to take corrective action before your production is finished and packed; making it an effective tool to safeguard your product against costly import risks.
Supplier Evaluation
Supplier Verification audits is a specially designed audit that checks your potential suppliers against certain internationally recognised standards. The suppliers who pass the supplier audit are vendors who are working according to the highest industry standards. Subsequently, successful factory audits ensure that the vendors are able to provide a continuous supply of high-quality materials and services throughout the term of your partnership.
Supplier verification audits also cover all the legal, operational and functional aspects of a vendor. This, in turn, gives you peace of mind while doing business with these vendors.
Social Audit
A social audit is a certain type of certification audit that check your vendors for any unethical activities in their companies. The ethical or social audit is based on a strong checklist known as the SA 8000. Generally, the practices that categorize as unethical practices include:
- Child labor.
- Forced labor.
- Compromise on health and safety issues.
- Violation of freedom of association and right to collective bargaining.
- Discrimination at the workplace based on race, color, creed, religion, etc.
- Violation of workhours regulations.
- Remuneration
If any of these violations are observed, then it can create serious troubles for the vendors and in certain cases for your business too.
