Let's break down how to make sure you're getting the good stuff, and then we'll show you how Proc360 makes it all way easier!
Why Quality Control Matters
Imagine selling products that break easily or don't work right. Yikes! That's why checking your products before they ship is so important. It keeps your customers happy and your business healthy.
Steps to Awesome Quality Control
1. Know What You Want
Be clear about what makes a good product. Write it down! This helps your supplier know exactly what you expect.
2. Check Samples First
Always ask for samples before placing a big order. It's like trying on shoes before you buy them.
3. Factory Audits
If possible, check out the factory. It's like peeking behind the kitchen door at a restaurant.
4. Pre-Production Inspection
Before the factory starts making your stuff, make sure they have the right materials and understand your requirements.
5. During Production Inspection
Check on things while they're being made. It's like taste-testing the soup before it's fully cooked.
6. Pre-Shipment Inspection
This is the big one! Check the finished products before they leave China. Look at quality, quantity, packaging – everything!
7. Use a Checklist
Make a list of everything to check. It's like a shopping list, but for quality!
8. Take Lots of Photos
Pictures are worth a thousand words, especially when dealing with suppliers far away.
9. Set Clear Standards
Decide what's okay and what's not. How many defects are too many? Be clear about this.
10. Keep Good Records
Write down everything about your inspections. It helps if you need to talk to your supplier later.
