At Spring Flower, we conduct a variety of inspections throughout the sourcing and procurement process to ensure that the products we deliver meet your exact specifications and quality standards. The types of inspections we conduct, along with key aspects evaluated during these processes, include:
1. Initial Production Check (IPC): This is conducted at the beginning of the production process. We assess the raw materials, components, and the manufacturer's preparedness for production. This helps in identifying potential issues before mass production begins.
2. During Production Inspection (DPI): Also known as a DUPRO, this inspection is performed when a certain percentage (typically 20-50%) of the production is completed. We evaluate the quality of the manufactured products, production speed, and whether the production is following the planned schedule. This stage is crucial for early detection of defects or non-conformities.
3. Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conducted when 80-100% of the product is manufactured and packaged. We check the total quantity, workmanship quality, size, weight, packaging, and labeling. This inspection is vital for ensuring that the final products meet your specifications before they are shipped.
4. Container Loading Check (CLC): This inspection takes place while the goods are being loaded into the container for shipment. We verify that the correct products and quantities are being loaded, and that the packaging is appropriate to prevent damage during transit. We also ensure that the container is in good condition.
5. Specialized Product Testing: For certain products, especially those that must meet specific safety or regulatory standards, we conduct specialized testing either in-house or through certified external laboratories. This can include durability tests, chemical tests, or performance tests.
Key Aspects Evaluated During Inspections:
Quality of Goods: Checking for defects, workmanship, and adherence to specifications.
Quantity Verification: Ensuring the number of products matches the order.
Packaging and Labelling: Verifying that packaging is robust and labels are accurate and compliant with regulations.
Product Specifications: Assessing dimensions, materials, colours, and other specified details.
Compliance with Standards: Ensuring products meet relevant safety and quality standards.
Functionality Tests: Conducting tests to ensure the product functions as intended.
Visual Inspection: Looking for any visual defects or inconsistencies.
These inspections, conducted by our experienced team, are integral to maintaining quality control throughout the manufacturing and delivery process. By evaluating these key aspects, Spring Flower ensures that every product sourced and delivered meets your expectations and adheres to the highest standards of quality and safety.
