Quality Control Services in India

Product Inspections in India

Pro QC’s product inspection services can be incorporated to evaluate product quality and determine conformity with specifications. We provide peace of mind by verifying whether expectations will be met. Our inspections services in India include:

First Article Inspections

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 Inspections

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 Inspections

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

During inspections in India, our quality inspector generally employs metrics such as ANSI Z1.4 sampling to evaluate workmanship, functionality, packaging, labelling and other criteria as required. We review and check against existing client specifications and can assist in development of criteria, as necessary.

Sorting and Rework

Pro QC’s network of quality professionals extends to those interested in assisting with short-term rework and/or sort projects ranging in complexity. Our local network is ready to be deployed directly at your supplier’s site, or at your location.

Quality inspectors use Pro QC’s standard report forms, or we can use those provided by the client. Service reports with detailed photos are provided, and all information available online within 24 hours of completion.

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 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.

Factory Audits in India

Although investment and international sourcing comes with a certain level of risk, our quality control and quality assurance solutions can help reduce or even eliminate disruptions occurring throughout your supply chains. Pro QC offers various factory audits in India as tools for current and future buyers to assess and mitigate risks.

Supplier Verification

There are many inherent risks to an outsourced supply chain and bringing on a new supplier. Pro QC has developed a checklist to assist our clients in assessing the legitimacy, financial status, capacity, and certifications of potential suppliers.

At Pro QC, we also work closely with clients and their suppliers to improve their system, processes and manufacturing capabilities. Below examples for reference:

Initial Supplier Evaluation

Pro QC can assist to identify and verify new suppliers through assessments, site visits and credit checks amongst several other services. The Pro QC auditor would check the supplier’s manufacturing capabilities, qualifications, quality management systems and other processes. The final report will advise you on the supplier’s reliability and helps determine whether they can meet the required production and quality needs.

Supplier/Factory Audits

Quality risks can be reduced through factory audits by identifying, eliminating, and preventing quality problems in the supply chain before they impact production. Overall, supplier audits help assess a vendor’s qualifications and capabilities to produce your products through repeatable and consistent manufacturing processes. Conducting supplier audits is essential to ensure that your factory’s facilities can deliver quality products, operate efficiently and can support continuous improvement.
