Vietnam has benefited greatly from the USA – China trade war climate the past years by positioning itself as the prime alternative to companies looking to diversify their supply chain away from China. The country is now home to factories supplying some of the world’s largest multinational brands across several product categories such as electronics, appliances, garments, tools, furniture and footwear. Vietnam’s proximity to China is convenient for raw material and sub-supplies, while the foreign ownership of many factories in Vietnam (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean) is seen as beneficial in terms of quality and ease of doing business. The government has also played an important role with regards to the latter, next to actively strengthening and revamping laws/regulation over the years.
Pro QC has been present in Vietnam for over two decades as a third-party quality control service provider, helping both local and international clients secure their supply chain. Our experienced team of inspectors and auditors is available nationwide. Whether its product inspections or testing services, auditing suppliers against client or international standards or aiding vendors via corrective action; our team of experts can assist in solving quality related issues with little notice and is at your service where and when you need.
Pro QC’s quality control activities are managed from our HCMC office, while our team is stationed across the country in or close to various manufacturing hubs. We generally deal with the following product categories in Vietnam:
The frontline of the battle for quality is at key stages in the production process. 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 Vietnam include:
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.
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.
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 Vietnam, 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.
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.
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.
Major ports where we conduct container loading supervisions in Vietnam include:
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 Vietnam as tools for current and future buyers to assess and mitigate risks.
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.
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.
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.
Pro QC has a team of Six Sigma certified experts and ISO certified auditors that can assist in auditing your suppliers against your own or international audit standards, and which can aid suppliers to resolve quality issues through corrective action.
Our range of audits includes:
Our tailored Supplier Management solutions help tackle a variety of production issues. Examples include rectifying reoccurring quality defects, reducing or eliminating delivery delays, obtaining certification, ensuring compliance to international standards and more. At Pro QC, we work closely with our clients and their suppliers to improve their entire quality system.
Supply chains are ever more complex and multifaceted and stretch across the globe. Sourcing from a foreign country, however, poses supply chain risks. Pro QC aims to play the role of quality partner, bringing you closer to your suppliers and reducing the cost of securing your quality interests by identifying potential risks at the outset.
Our Supplier Development solutions turn supply chain risks into stable links. We achieve this by assisting suppliers, via evaluation, audit and corrective action to improve their system, processes and manufacturing capabilities to ensure compliance, continual improvement and a successful, long lasting mutual partnership.
Supplier Development can involve any of the following services, along with custom solutions tailored to meet your needs:
Pro QC has extensive experience helping suppliers comply with international quality standards prior to final third-party audits such as ISO 9001, TS 16949, ISO 13485, GMP for Medical Devices, Corporate Social Responsibility, and many other global standards.
Our quality engineers have assisted numerous suppliers to comply with specific supply chain requirements from major retailers such as Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, etc.
At the core of our work are years of knowledge and understanding of production and manufacturing processes gained from aiding suppliers to establish and maintain manufacturing processes. Whether it is product inspection or testing, auditing your suppliers against your own or international standards, aiding suppliers to resolve quality issues through corrective action planning, Pro QC can come up with a tailored solution to meet your quality needs.
At Pro QC, we understand how critical product quality is to your business. We offer first-article, in-process and pre-shipment inspections to identify quality problems at each stage of production. Our product quality offerings also include sorting or rework service along with functional and performance testing at our labs in Ningbo, China and Monterrey, Mexico.
Supplier audits provide visibility into the supplier’s management system, processes, and products. These assessments are essential to ensure your suppliers qualifications and capabilities as well as their compliance to the required standards for your industry or jurisdiction. Our services also include pre-audits, corrective action plans or formal audit preparation.
Our Supplier Management solution is for suppliers that fail to meet quality or performance objectives. We first identify the root-cause of the quality issues and then produce a corrective action plan. Implementation of the corrective actions and conducting regular on-site reviews will ensure your supplier exceeds your expectations and achieves sustainable improvement.
Pro QC ensures suppliers comply with mandatory compliance terms set by major international retailers. International retail standards usually include a responsible sourcing & vendor code of conduct. We develop and monitor corrective action and preventative action plans and regularly follow up with suppliers for retailers such as Walmart, Lowe’s and many more.
