Procon Pacific’s Strategic Transition: How Pro QC Helps Reduce Costs and Risks Related to Quality and Manufacturing in India.

How Pro QC Helps Reduce Costs and Risks Related to Quality and Manufacturing in India

Procon Pacific

Procon Pacific, a global FIBC sourcing and procurement consulting company, traces its roots back to 2004 when it was established to address a critical void in the FIBC market. As time progressed, the company extended its services, becoming a reliable consulting partner to a diverse array of multinational clients, further solidifying its standing in the industry. Procon Pacific ensures the delivery of high-quality packaging solutions worldwide, adhering to precise schedules with unyielding precision.

At the heart of Procon Pacific’s values is a deep commitment to quality. This commitment to quality is seen everywhere in the company and its supply chain, from the first interaction with sales and customer support to delivering the final product and building strong trust and confidence for customers.

The Project

Procon Pacific shifted almost all their production of FIBC bags from China to India a few years ago in response to the trade war between China and the USA. This move was a direct response to the trade tensions between China and the USA, aimed at mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities linked to geopolitical factors.

The challenges of shifting production were related to collaborating with professional and reliable manufacturers while maintaining the same level of product quality as they had achieved previously. To achieve this, they sought quality control support throughout their vendor network.

Pro QC, having previously been Procon Pacific’s quality control partner in China, was approached for the transition to India.

The Solutions

Our team collaborated with Procon Pacific to create a custom quality control program tailored to the unique needs of their projects. This program also addressed the challenges of manufacturing in India and managing multiple suppliers. Additionally, we developed a specialized inspection checklist.

A – Supplier Audits

We began with factory audits to assess supplier reliability, validate their qualifications, and identify any nonconformities that might adversely affect product quality.

The audits included:

  1. Supplier verification to ascertain the legitimacy of potential vendors, assess their risk levels, and gain an overview of their qualifications.
  2. Social compliance, in line with SA8000 and ISO 26000, underscoring Procon Pacific’s commitment to ensuring social accountability within their supply chain and guaranteeing fair treatment of workers in compliance with the law.
  3. Manufacturing Process Audits to evaluate the specific production line used for their products and pinpoint any red flags that might compromise quality performance.

B- Quality Inspections

Subsequently, Pro QC assigned two quality engineers dedicated solely to inspections for Procon Pacific in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Every production batch is meticulously inspected by our team to detect any defects that might affect Procon Pacific, ensuring all concerns are addressed before shipping with pre-shipment inspections.

“Pro QC tailored a quality control program that not only addressed the challenges of manufacturing in India but ensured we maintained our deep commitment to quality. Pro QC has been instrumental in upholding our reputation for top-tier product quality.”

Daniel Krassenstein, Global Supply Chain Director at Procon Pacific

Outcomes

This project has thrived for several years. A cornerstone of its success is the robust communication channels established, which include annual meetings at our Indian office in Noida.

The solution provided by Pro QC enabled Procon Pacific to seamlessly transition to a new manufacturing hub without compromising product quality. This move also helped reduce the costs of poor quality (COPQ) and risks inherent in global supply chains.
