Re: Incoming Inspection dilema - Should we carry out incoming inspection?

Thanks to you all.

My gut feelings about incoming inspection were right from past experience. I used to work for a Japanese bearing manufacturer & incoming inspection was always carried out. MOst of our customers there insisted on it!
I've been working for my new employer for 4 months now & at a previous attempt to carry out incoming inspection years ago they used to check a couple of parts from each part no' against a master sample board! At that time this board contained over 200 different pcs!!! When I started back in October I immediately informed them that I wouldn't be responsible for this - too many samples, many out of date & they should be controlled!!! External auditors would love it!!

Martin,

I feel it would be easier to inspect by supplier as we only have around 30 into our site whereas if we inspect by product we'd require 2 people continuously inspecting day & night due to the quantity of product coming through the warehouse. Much of which is booked in then immediately booked out at the moment.

By the way in a previous thread you said you mainly talk 'yorkshire' - where are you from? I'm a yorkshire lass but work in Scunthorpe which now comes under north lincolnshire!

Hello Emma:

You could treat this situation just like a shopping trip to Tesco/Sainsbury's. There are some products from suppliers that you just put in your trolley, having done a quick check for contents and damage - like cornflakes.

Then, when you get to the fruit & veg. you do some checking for bruising, ripeness etc.

When buying dairy things, you look for the sell by dates and (if you're like me) do a check your eggs. (no, not by shaking the carton!)

So, what's all this based on ?? - a supplier's past performance. Suppliers such as (your equivalent of) Kelloggs have a process which assures quality. Rarely does anyone have a problem with Kelloggs products.

The green grocery side isn't as good, so you have to perform some checks and you don't want to get all the way home only to find that the eggs are broken in the carton or the yogurt is off (and checking at source isn't viable, eh!!)

You should select the inspection based on past issues with certain suppliers. When I worked for a certain English company, the data showed our two worst suppliers were our sister company and our raw material supplier (for reasons I won't go into here!!) Most other suppliers did very well over a period of time and we stopped doing any 'inspection' merely verified the delivery note, damage etc.

Hope this helps a fellow Brit!

What is a 'dock to stock' system?
Qualify your suppliers, then...
Upon receipt of product, parts go directly to stock or to the line.

Obviously - a little more work than that, but that is the short description.
