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.

Pro QC establishes a global audit program to systematically onboard new suppliers, categorize their risk levels, and establish a reaction plan based on the supplier’s performance on quality systems, environmental management, and social and ethical compliance.

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.

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.

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

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.

8. Outgoing QC & Shipping

Our Quality Control Services in Morocco
Product Inspections
By performing product inspections, we can identify problems early with the goal of eliminating the underlying causes.
Supplier Selection & Factory Audits
Pro QC International performs various types of factory audits.
Supplier Management
At Pro QC, we also work closely with clients and their suppliers to improve their system, processes and manufacturing capabilities.
Product Inspections in Morocco
Pro QC’s quality inspectors ensure product conformity at different stages of the production process. We follow the ANSI Z1.4 standard to evaluate, among other elements, workmanship, functionality, packaging, and labeling during product checks. Although we have our standard checklists and formats for inspections, we are flexible and can adjust these based on our clients’ requirements. Every inspection report includes detailed feedback and images and is available within 24 hours of completion of the service through our secure database.
As an inspection company in Morocco, Pro QC offers four types of inspections that could be combined or deployed individually:
First Article Inspections (FAI)
Prior to the start of mass production, an engineer will inspect first samples to verify that product specifications are being correctly understood and respected by the supplier. This service will also void unnecessary re-engineering or reproduction later.
In-process Inspections (IPI)
This on-site inspection occurs when 20% to 30% of the products are produced. Our quality inspectors evaluate performance during the manufacturing process to ensure the products are in accordance with requirements, allowing necessary changes to be addressed early on while reducing rework time and costs.
Pre-shipment Inspections (PSI)
A pre-shipment inspection occurs when the products are fully produced and ready for shipment (100% ready, at least 80% packed). This essential stage helps reduce the risk associated with receiving faulty products. Our local quality inspectors provide a detailed inspection report with images and detailed remarks related to any issues and non-conformances found.
Container Loading Supervision (CLS)
Upon confirmation of the shipping date, Pro QC verifies that the correct products and quantities are being loaded. Products conformance to international standards will also be verified.

Pro QC provides a full range of audit services in Morocco. From supplier verification and qualification audits to quality management system audits, our local team of certified auditors can adapt to specific client requirements.
