Production Monitoring PM Supervise Factory Quality Control
Production monitoring identifies issues as they occur
When you discover product defects after production has finished—or worse, after the goods have shipped—they can be difficult to correct. Besides potentially needing to unpack and repack finished goods, product repairs or rework can be time-consuming and costly. That’s why defects and other problems are much easier to remedy when they’re caught early.
Production monitoring entails having an inspector on-site and checking the product daily, or almost daily. Since they’ll typically check the product at every active production stage, the inspector can note any product issues and notify you that day. Following their report, you could then advise the supplier of any issues found and prevent them from affecting the entire order.
Let’s look again at the earlier example of baseball caps. Maybe there’s a problem with the embroidery on one of the SKUs. But you don't inspect the hats until after workers have finished and packaged them. Because the embroidery process is automated, the problem is likely going to affect all the units of that SKU. But with production monitoring, the inspector would’ve noticed the problem with the embroidery almost immediately.
For some factories, this early detection of problems can be especially helpful. Management and workers may be accustomed to reworking defective products. But having an inspector identify defects before the goods reach their customer saves them from wasting time, and possibly, from losing that customer’s future business. And helping a factory improve its manufacturing processes often improves the relationship you have with your supplier
Production Monitoring - For challenging or high-risk orders, it is recommended to have an inspector at the factory throughout production. We will monitor your order daily and report back the production status as well as product quality issues. Therefore, you can identify and direct the factory to fix possible production problems before they arise.
A production monitoring system is a process that is designed to record the overall performance of the production line in real-time. The system collects data from the various sections of the production line and is relayed to employees and managers working on the line. The data that is collected by the monitoring system is used in improving the efficiency of the production line.
Production monitoring offers a wide view of manufacturing
One of the main benefits of production monitoring is that it gives you a wide look at all the manufacturing processes at work in the factory. It’s typically a combination of all three types of product inspection:
- Early product inspection at the start of production, giving insight into the status and quality of parts and materials used
- During production, or “DUPRO”, inspection looking at a product as it’s moving through manufacturing stages; an
- Final inspection, checking a product when most units are already finished
Inspection at a particular production stage can be helpful for most importers. But rather than having a limited view of a product in one area, production monitoring reveals the whole spectrum of manufacturing. This can be beneficial in a number of ways, including revealing how factory workers operate and the implications for your product.
- All-inclusive pricing for inspections
- An inspector onsite within 48 hours
- Same-day inspection reports
- Easy online scheduling of services
- The detailed dashboard of quality trends, accessible in real-time
PSI/FRI (Pre-Shipment Inspection)
- The Significance: Pre-Shipment Inspection refers to an inspection carried out by all the goods are produced and packed completely. By conducting a sampling test in accordance with the AQL standard, to have an overall assessment of the quality of the goods.
- Mainly includes: quantity check, workmanship check, product size and weight, product performance parameters, product color, outer carton measurement, various labels will be given about if the goods can be shipped. This inspection can serve as a powerful reference to judge the quality of the whole batch of products.

Helping you understand a supplier, Including supplier's actual capabilities, quality control system, management, and operating procedures.

Pre-production inspection
|
Before production, helping you make sure the raw materials and components will meet your specifications and are available in quantities sufficient to meet the production schedule.
|
During production inspection (DPI)
|
Checking the products during the production process and trying our best to avoid some defects appearing, It can also help you check the product schedule and confirm that the products are ready when the time of shipment.
|
Pre-shipment inspection (PSI)
|
It is the most effective inspection that confirms the whole shipment's quality level. It normally requires the production to be 100% complete and at least 80% of goods to be packed into cartons The checked samples are randomly selected according to AQL standard.

It is an important step during the delivery process, It can make sure your products are correctly loading and reduce the possibility of breakage. Guaranteeing the good quality and condition of your products until you receive them.
