Product Inspections in Cambodia

Product inspections are a good quality control tool to ensure that the product appearance, functionality and other criteria are in compliance with your requirements. Pro QC International offers product inspections at various stages of the manufacturing process to assess the quality of the goods. Our quality experts in Cambodia are highly trained and experienced dealing with softlines and hardlines.

First Article Inspection

Prior to the start of mass production, our local quality engineers verify that the engineering of the product -drawings, parts, functions and other specific requirements-conform to your specifications. This process ensures that specifications are well understood, verified and documented.

In-Process or In-Line Inspection

An in-process inspection allows us to detect errors that might lead to a non-conforming product before production is completed. Quality engineers verify that the manufacturing processes are reliable and consistent, and that the products coming off the production line are in accordance with your requirements.

Pre-Shipment Inspection

Performing pre-shipment inspections helps reduce the risk associated with receiving defective product before shipping the goods. Our quality inspectors provide detailed feedback and images to document any non-conformity as part of our comprehensive inspection reports.

During the inspections, our quality engineer generally employs metrics such as ANSI Z1.4 sampling plans to evaluate workmanship, functionality, packaging, labelling, and other criteria as required.

Pro QC reviews and checks against existing client specifications but we can also assist in the development of criteria if desired. Our engineers generally use Pro QC’s standard report forms of which we would be happy to provide you with samples, or we can use check-lists or report formats provided by clients. Reports including images will always be available online within 24 hours of completion of the service.

Container Loading Supervision

At the end of the supply chain, we offer container loading supervision at the factory or majors ports to ensure safe transportation and delivery of the goods to their final destination. This quality control point involves supervising the loading process, monitoring the quantity of the packed goods, checking the storage and condition of the container before and after closure and whether the goods are correctly handled/placed into the shipping containers.

2. Supplier Selection

Once the component specifications are defined, the procurement department identifies a list of suitable suppliers that can potentially meet their capability, cost, capacity, and quality requirements.

Pro QC offers a range of supplier due diligence and supplier evaluation support. Our experts visit suppliers to assess their capabilities, mitigate the risk of scams, overpromises, and miscommunication, and validate their credentials, trustworthiness, and financial stability.

Buyers want to sell to big retailers, but their suppliers do not yet comply with the retailer’s supplier code of conduct
Supplier violation on labor law, ethical and environmental compliances
Goods held in customs due to supply chain security malpractice

4. Pre-Production Validation

Before commencing volume production, it is crucial to validate that the equipment, staffing, production methods, capacity, and quality control plan are in place for each product line.

Pro QC offers on-site quality support to prevent and reduce the potential cost of poor quality (COPQ) and risk, ensuring a smooth transition from product development to mass production.

5. Production Planning

Production planning ensures that the supplier has sufficient raw materials, components, and staff and that other outsourced processes meet the specified schedule.

Pro QC offers assistance in timely supplier communication, onsite visits, and daily or weekly monitoring reports. This minimizes the risks of delays from ineffective procurement planning, staff shortages, or sub-supplier mismanagement.

Pro QC’s Quality Solutions:

Order Expediting
Resident Supplier Quality Resourcing

Supplier Risks & Challenges:

Production delay due to poor material procurement planning

6. Incoming Quality Control

Incoming inspection reflects a factory's commitment to quality control from the outset. Understanding how a factory manages its incoming material and its supply chain is a very good indication of its commitment to quality.

Pro QC quality solutions address issues such as defect acceptance, material substitutions, and component decay due to poor practices or storage conditions.

Pro QC’s Quality Solutions:

Incoming Inspection
In-Process Inspection
Manufacturing Process Audit or VDA 6.3 Process Audit

Supplier Risks & Challenges:

The factory does not manage the quality of its supply chain or is poor at supplier management
Suppliers turn a blind eye to defective components during incoming and still use them for production and assembly
Using sub-standard material or components (e.g., lower-quality fabric than required)
Substituting lower-cost alternatives for product components (e.g., cheaper electronic components in a mobile phone)
“Quality fade” where suppliers make small, gradual substitutions in materials and components over time
Bulk material ordered by the supplier degrades over time due to poor storage conditions

7. Production & Assembly

Many things can go wrong during mass production due to machine failure, lack of process control, and operator mistakes. While it is normal for defects to occur, these defects must be detected and contained.

Pro QC offers a range of support to verify control plan adherence, early defect detection, quality improvement, and issue resolution through monitoring, investigations, and CAPA validation.

First Article Inspection (FAI)
In-Process Inspection

Poor control of re-worked material/product
Mistakes made by temporary, untrained staff/operators
Communication breakdown when the supplier is under pressure

8. Outgoing QC & Shipping

The smallest aesthetic defect on the packaging or missing components can lead to customer returns, while a misplaced label may result in compliance issues. Outgoing Quality Control is the last line of defense before products are properly loaded into containers for shipment.

Pro QC offers pre-shipment inspections and end-of-line testing to ensure your products meet your quality requirements and reduce the chance of returns or re-work.
