In-line product inspection or DUPRO (During Production Inspection) is an effective way for buyers to find out the exact status of the manufacturing of an order, gain important information about the shipment schedule, and identify defects early on, before they affect the entire production. This type of inspection generally takes more time than the more common final random inspection (FRI) and should be completed by inspectors with several years? experience in production monitoring. A thorough DUPRO inspection should report on the following: * For all packing materials, raw materials and finished goods ? the percentage already in stock or produced, and the expected date of receipt or production for goods and components not ready yet * A review of the quality of those goods and components already completed ? QC inspectors should draw samples from what is already completed and check for defects. Full review on what type of samples were drawn and what defects were found in those samples * Summary of the production status and schedule * Photo review of the current production line, products, and observed defects Although including a DUPRO in your supply chain does not alleviate the need to inspect the final goods, it is a relatively low-cost way of getting on the ground knowledge about the production process, and catching defects early in the process, before they potentially ruin an entire shipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
