If you struggle with inconsistent quality, a product inspection at your supplier’s factory will help you by catching issues before production is complete or, worse, is shipped. Our inspector’s subsequent QC report will give you detailed information about your product quality that enables you to put the quality issues right before any bad batches can reach you.
When you use a third-party quality inspection firm like us to check your product quality, you’ll benefit from the following:
- Better control over your supply chain
- Reduced costs in scrap, rework, recalls, late orders, and customer refunds
- Improved product quality & safety
This flowchart shows the 5-step process that we typically follow when inspecting your supplier:
Once you book an inspection with us, the lead time is generally 2 full working days for the common areas in China, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Cambodia.
Note, the assumption here is that your supplier responds to our emails promptly and lets us in without delay. We might also have questions about your technical documents, so it is better if you send them to us for confirmation earlier.
All in all, our general advice is to proceed as follows:
1. Once you know there will be inspection(s), let us know.
2. Our QA planning team will be in contact with your supplier, and will follow up as the date changes from a “rough estimate” to a “confirmed date”.
3. Our QA technical team will study your documents and ask questions where something is unclear or needs more details.
You can see a selection of Sofeast’s past inspection reports on various product types ranging from soft lines through to industrial components by hitting the link below:
Yes, we can.
We have our own lab for common chemical, performance, reliability, and durability tests or for simple conformity confirmations (comparing colors of samples from different suppliers, running function tests over several days…).
Our spectrometer allows us to confirm that a certain part is made of the right material and to test compliance to RoHS and, for an extra fee, we can even bring it to a factory (as it’s less than 2 kg).
If needed we can work with a number of partner labs for other tests we can’t perform in our own testing lab (sometimes for compliance tests and certifications to CE, REACH, FCC, UL/ETL/CSA, etc.).
When a lot of inspection work is spent on repetitive tasks, there is often a better & faster way to do that work.
Consider QA/QC Inspection Optimization, which complements product inspections, where we can:
- Clarify your QC standard
- Set up a QA plan
- Set up checking gauges/fixtures to speed up QC work
- Confirm a manufacturer’s measurement system
You’ll see some of the key countries and cities that we provide services in. If your supplier’s location isn’t shown it does not mean that we can’t help you, please check with us as our staff are often able to travel there (additional charges may apply):
