During Production Inspection Service DPI Service

What is during production inspection?

During production inspection (DPI) refers to the inspection of products during the production process, when the products produced and packaged account for 10% to 30% of the total orders. The purpose is to detect potential quality issues in the production process as early as possible, providing an opportunity for corrective measures in the early stages of production and avoiding the production of a large number of non-conforming products.

What to check for during production inspection?

1. Product quality:

Randomly sample finished or semi-finished products for inspection, checking whether the appearance (color, size, surface treatment, etc.), process quality, function, and structure of the product are qualified. Check the size, weight, accessories, labels and markings, and packaging of the product for any issues that may affect product quality, ensure that its quality meets order specifications and design requirements, and inspect whether the packaging meets customer requirements, including whether the packaging materials, labels, barcodes, etc. are accurate and correct.

2. Production progress:

Confirm the progress of production, and ensure that production is carried out according to plan and can be delivered on time. Evaluate the factory's production capacity and resource allocation, confirm that the material inventory is sufficient to support subsequent production, and ensure that subsequent production can proceed smoothly.

3. Safety and compliance checks:

Ensure that the product complies with necessary industry standards, laws and regulations, safety performance, and customer requirements.

What are the purposes and benefits of during production inspection?

1. Timely identify product quality issues and production progress to avoid delays and additional costs, deliver goods to customers on time, reduce product non-conformities, and ensure that batch production quality is the same as approval samples.
2. Implement necessary corrective measures to control the proportion of finished product defects before too many defects occur.
3. To avoid rework and waste, if problems are discovered in the mid-term, they can be adjusted in a timely manner. Compared to discovering problems and carrying out large-scale rework after production is completed, a mid-term inspection can effectively reduce the cost of rework and material waste.

During production inspection is an important part of the entire quality control system, which helps ensure the quality of the final product, meet customer needs, and deliver on time.
