(DUPRO) Inspection in China - Why it is a MUST.

If you're working with factories in China, it's absolutely key to perform a quality inspection while production is in progress. This is to ensure that they are not switching out the approved materials for cheaper ones, and also to ensure that everything in on schedule. Here's some guidance for those of you who are working with China factories....

A thorough DUPRO inspection should report on the following:

1. For all packing materials, raw materials and finished goods – the percentage already in stock or produced, and the expected date of receipt or production for goods and components not ready yet.

2. A review of the quality of those goods and components already completed – QC inspectors should draw samples from what is already completed and check for defects. Full review on what type of samples were drawn and what defects were found in those samples

3. Summary of the production status and schedule

4. Photo review of the current production line, products, and observed defects

Although including a DUPRO in your supply chain does not alleviate the need to inspect the final goods, it is a relatively low cost way of getting on the ground knowledge about the production process, and catching defects early in the process, before they potentially ruin an entire shipment.

Re: What is an In-line (DUPRO) Inspection and How it can Save You

DUPRO (During Production) or in-line product inspection is an effective way for buyers to find out the exact status of the manufacturing of an order, gain important information about the shipment schedule, and identify defects early on, before they affect the entire production. This type of inspection generally takes more time than the more common final random inspection (FRI) and should be completed by inspectors with several years experience in production monitoring.

And the point of your post is.......?????

Ok, I'll be more direct. In case you start a post hoping to carry-on further and then introduce a product or service, we hope that you take note of the terms of service (TOS) agreed when you signed up.

3. POSTS BY VENDORS AND CONSULTANTS - COMMERCIAL POSTS

a. Spamming the forums with advertisements is not allowed. If you are registering to sell electronic/electric or other commercial items, your post(s) will be deleted within minutes and you will be banned from the forum.

b. If you are in any way, financially or other wise, 'related' to a product or company under discussion, it is required that you state your relationship. Feel free to respond to questions but let us know if you are 'related'. HOWEVER - We want content in the forums, not just a referral to your web site or products or services. If you want to post an outright advertisement, have a product to sell, a demo or whatever, please call or e-mail Marc Smith to discuss.

c. Products or services you may be associated with, along with a link to your company's web site, can be detailed in your User Profile. As you interact with the community, folks will naturally look at the profile and see your information. If there's something specific you think your product or service can help with, please give a detailed explanation and then refer people to your profile for information. Please help in the post rather than to just say you have a product which will 'cure all'... A simple statement that your product will solve someone's problem is not sufficient. Your web site url, telephone number, company name and your product can be put in your Profile. They are not allowed in posts you make. **If you post a simple "My product will help you" type of post, expect the post to be deleted or heavily edited.

These are still valid concerns. We are seeing a lot of what chinaqualityguru has been posting lately.

China suppliers have done bad products or of low quality.

1. Filipino children will be healthier if only toys are safe.
2. Philippines will have less CANCER patience.
3. No HIV infected people because of rubber bands.
4. All tires would be high quality.
5. Milks would be 100% safe from melamine.
6. No Siopao with paper as a meat.
7. No expired products around.
8. Less Pirated DVD/VCD on streets.
9. Less drug lords walking around the country.
10. Less tax evaders around.
11. There would be no cheery cars burning in the streets.
12. No defective car parts around, roads will be safer.
13. None or few fake products around.

But I believe that there are still more safe products from China. I look forward to high quality products from them. Admittedly we depend on them for productions (more than 50%) of the things we need.
