QUALITY CONTROL SERVICES IN TURKEY

Product Inspections in Turkey

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 Turkey are highly trained and experienced dealing with a variety of consumer and industrial products such as electrical appliances, mechanical parts, medical devices and much more.

Types of inspections:

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.

Factory Audits in Turkey

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 Turkish supply chains. Pro QC offers various factory audits in Turkey as tools for current and future buyers to assess and mitigate risks.

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 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.
