China In-process Inspection is the same as China Line Inspection
To our US customers in Quality Assurance, in-process inspection is about selective random inspection of parts or items from a production line.
To China suppliers not well trained in the concept of quality assurance, (especially if the products are simple consumer products such as stuffed toys, shoes, reusable bags), in-process is production line inspection.
We understand the concept of in-process inspection. What and how much we do depend again on the kind of products you buy. We will ask you these questions:
- Is it a simple soft or hard product, or an electrical or mechanical device?
- What type of materials?
- Is the in-process inspection to be carried out only at a single supplier location?
Your answers to these questions will help us decide how to inspect and how many inspection stations to set up.
Our In-Process inspection may include:
- In-coming components/materials inspection
- Non-conforming products inspection
- Selective end of line random inspection
- Safety, tolerances and usability testing and inspection
- Final product and packaging inspection.
In process inspection layout is determined by your answers to our important questions on your products.
