| Inspection |
| |
| Our philosophy is
to build quality into product from the beginning. Our inspection major
in three stages: Developing, Production and Final Inspection. |
|
|
| |
| Developing |
|
We assist both
customer and supplier in developing and sampling. We assist customer
in sourcing for material and accessories in order to calculate the
basic cost of the product so customer know whether the quote provided
by manufacturer is reasonable or not. We also support manufacturer
to find quality while low-cost material / accessories so to lower
down their cost. With our professional knowledge in quality we will
support to build quality into product at the developing stage.
With our support, customer can be confident of getting the very best
performance from a supplier, and, should the need arise a swift and
commercial resolution to any problems or disputes.
We can assist factory for the necessary lab test / certification if
required. |
|
|
| |
| Production |
|
Once sample approved,
factory shall not do any modifications, improvements or other changes
in materials or manufacturing processes that may materially affect
the appearance, performance, quality, merchantability or safety of
the product without customer＊s express written prior permission.
Pre-production meeting is for both factory production managements
and China Hand Inspector to study the approved sample and to make
sure production can go on smoothly and products can achieve same or
higher quality than approved sample as well as set up the quality
standard for both factory and China Hand to follow. The PPMeeting
shall be held after sample approved and before bulk production commence.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| PPMeeting
majors in below four steps: |
|
|
| Step
one: |
Sample review 每 to study
the sample closely, emphasis on production difficult parts and
quality weak points. |
| Step two: |
Factory＊s question discussion 每 factory
must make sure production can go on smoothly (to meet on-time
delivery) as well as quality same or higher than sample. If
factory foresee any production obstacle or any quality deviation,
factory must raise it up during PPMeeting for discussion. For
production block, factory need group discussion and think out
best way to overcome the difficulty; for unavoidable quality
deviation, we will work with factory to make out a deviation
range as standard for both parties to follow (must get customer＊s
approval first). |
| Step three: |
Customer＊s quality requirement 每 We
will advise factory of customer＊s quality requirement which
factory must fully abide by. |
| Step four: |
Set up quality standard 每 after discussion
and base on mutual agreement, the quality standard fixed for
both parties to follow during bulk production:
States the quality requirement for the material / components
/ accessories in color, size, feeling, durability, etc.
Necessary lab test for incoming material / components / accessories
每 fastness, rub test, aging, tearing, etc.
Workmanship quality standard
Set up red-flag at the weak point process to absorb
verybody＊s attention. If necessary, set up QC station to 100%
quality inspection. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon receiving order, factory
must set up the Work-In-Porgress plan and set each procedure lead
time. If there＊s change of the WIP factory must advise both customer
and China Hand. China Hand will assign the professional inspector
to factory to check material / components / accessories and check
lab test result when they are ready.
China Hand inspector will follow-up each production process and identify
whether there＊s defect or risk of defect exists. The production checking
focus on: |
|
|
|
|
- Material
- Components
- Accessories
- Workmanship
- Machine stability
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If defect or any risk of defect
find, will discuss with factory production leader and work out the
best solution. If no ideal solution be achieved between factory and
China Hand, pictures / videos will be taken to show to customer, or
if necessary, express sample to customer.
If customer desire, China Hand can train its factories with LEAN concept,
to improve factories productivity as well as lower down cost. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Final Inspection |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Final inspection begin when
production finished and goods packed. During a final inspection, the
random samples are drawn from the finished products based on a statistical
sampling method, most commonly ANSI/ASQCE 1.4, MIL-STD-105E or BS6001.
The objective is to determine if the inspection results conform to
the customer's specifications of size, color, design, style, function,
appearance, quantity, markings, bar code, labeling, assortments, packing
details and other characteristics that may be relevant to the product.
Our Inspector verify that the finished Shipping lots have been made
to your specifications.
For example, use Normal AQL1.0 (major), 2.5 (minor) as the inspection
standard, we have an order of 10,000 units to inspect. According to
table 1, "L" is right sample size code for general inspection
level II. Therefore in table 2, we pick "200" as L's corresponding
sample size. So the allowed maximum number of defective unit is as
follows: |
|
|
|
|
- Critical Defect - 0
- Major Defect - 5
- Minor Defect - 10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In other words, if the number
of critical defective units is more than 0, or major defective units
is more than 5, or minor defective units is more than 10, this order
failed and must be re-processed.
We do 100% inspection for goods of high value or goods which need
special attention, or upon customer＊s request.
We can consolidate your products from different factories which is
less than a container load to a full container load so you can save
freight costs. We will supervise container loading and take pictures
for reference. |

Final Inspection Guideline |
|
|
|
|
|
1. Shipment must be 100%
finished before final inspection.
2. Count total number of cartons to determine that shipment is
completed.
3. Pick up cartons randomly, the carton no. selected should be recorded
on the inspection report.
4. Factory must provide a clean table, with enough light;
5. Check carton quality - no torn nor break, no deform, all opening
must be well sealed; Check carton information.
6. Check actual quantity in carton, must be same as shown on shipping
marks as well as carton sticker (if any).
7. Before checking detail, place a product on a table and stands at
2 meters distance to view the product from different
angle, product
must be in nice appearance 每 when consumer stands
before the
product, the first impression is crucial to whether consumer
will buy it or not.
8. Check measurement, size, weight, position, make sure everything
comply with counter sample.
9. Check product functionality, usability, durability, appearance,
color, etc.
10. Check workmanship, cleaning, finishing, etc.
11. Check packaging condition.
12. Defects are generally defined as:
|
|
|
|
A.
Critical defects are those which are considered to represent an unsafe
or hazardous condition to the consumer.
B. Major defects are
those functional defects, which diminish the intended use of the product
or cosmetic defects, which are likely to result in consumer dissatisfaction
with the product. NOTE. Cosmetics will be judged
by visual inspection with non-magnified 20/20 normal or corrected
vision at a distance of 15 to 25 inches for approximately 3 seconds
per 10 sq. inches. Lighting should be diffused to avoid shadows
and cool white florescent lighting of at least 80 foot candles is
recommended. Appropriate weight may be given to the importance of
the surface being inspected; i.e. top surface appearance is more
critical than bottom surfaces.
C.
Minor defects are all other defects that are brought to the manufacturer＊s
attention as potential problem if not corrected.

|
|
|
|
|
13. During inspection,
no cleaning or touching up by factory personnel
is allowed.
14. Faults found should be recorded immediately. All units which are
defective must be set aside and should not
meet normal
production line again until being repaired.
15. Units that can＊t be repaired (critical defects) should be destroyed
under China Hand supervision. All replacement units to fill
the cartons should be checked by China Hand Inspector.
16. If a shipment is reprocessed, the factory must re-fill and re- inspect
the entire shipment.
17. Factory should notify China Hand, in advance, when re-processing
would be completed so that re-inspection can
be arranged and completed on time, without
delay for the shipment.
18. For re-inspections, different cartons than in the first inspection
should be selected.
19. Make inspection report and get factory manager＊s signature.
20. Meeting with factory related personnel to review the defectives
and to discuss how to prevent for future production.
