Factory Audit:

Clients require their products at the right quality, qty and time. To achieve these objectives, manufacturers should reach certain quality standards within their operations. But how could you assure your manufacturers to achieve such standards? By appointing H&L can help you to audit your manufacturers in such program. In general, we will check the following aspects for a factory audit:

1. Factory's background 2. Manpower 3. Product capability 4. Machinery and equipment 5. Manufacturing procedures 6. Quality control system 7. Management capability 8. Environment

The auditor inspects the factory beginning with raw material storage and inspection. Tooling workshops are inspected. The auditor then "walks" the Control Plan through every manufacturing process. The last steps of the factory inspection are final test, packaging, and laboratory areas. By the end of the auditing day, the auditor knows if the quality systems claimed by the factory are in practice and if the management is committed to constant improvement.

Initial Production Check:

A visual check on the quality of components, materials, and accessories at the beginning of production against clients' specifications and/or reference sample. The IPC thus permits timely corrections and improvements before the mass production is initiated, any non-conformity is immediately reported so as to avoid delay in shipment. In general, we will check the following aspects for IPC:

1. Evaluate the production capability and equipments in the factory.

2. Check fty's quality control ability and executive status.

3. Check the accuracy of production facilities and equipments.

4. Audit production techniques and make sure the reasonable layout of fty QC person.

5. Check the qty and quality of raw materials and main components that will be used in your products, foreseeing any possible problems to avoid them, verifying that your products spec are being met early.

During Production Check:

A visual check on the quality of components, materials, semi-finished products when at least 20%-30% of the order has been completed. Unique randomly inspects the production batch and those products in the line for possible defects, if any should occur, we identifies the deviation and provides advice on the corrective measures that are necessary to ensure a uniform batch quality product. The DUPRO provides the on-line inspection, DQC qualified inspectors will check that the corrections and improvements suggested during the IPC were implemented, examine the existing productions, advised the manufacturers of any further corrections or improvements to be made. In general:

1. Evaluate the production status during the manufacturing process.

2. Randomly inspect the finished samples on-site and compare them with your product spec.

3. According to the evaluated status of finished and semi- finished samples, rearrange the QC layout in the fty.

4. Evaluate the packing details and packing material.

5. Check the accuracy of production equipments and disposal methods for defective goods.

Final Random Inspection:

Our team performs a final random inspection comprising of a detailed visual inspection of goods before shipment. It is generally conducted on the premises of the manufacturer, on samples selected according to defined sampling procedures. FRI takes place when the merchandise is 100% completed and at least 80% are well packed, marked and ready for shipment. Our inspectors randomly draw some samples from finished goods, based on statistical random sampling technique, commonly known as ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, MIL-STD-105E, BS6001, DIN40080, ISO2859 OR NFX06-022, to verify that the finished shipping lots conform to your specifications. In general:

1. Qty check 2 Style, color & material 3. Visual check (workmanship) 4. Function/safety check 5. Size measurement 6. Package details 7. Shipping mark

For final random inspection, we would like to suggest client to booking this inspection at least 3 days before loading so that if some quality problems were found by inspector, clients will still have time to ask factory to re-work.

100% Inspection(Full Inspection):

When the merchandise is 100% completed, we will check the quality of goods unit by unit, which covers product description, style & color, workmanship, quality, function, label, package, size measurement if available etc, to make sure 100% of the goods meet your specified quality requirement. Note: for those products of high value or complicated internal structure, we suggest to take full inspection.

Container Loading Supervision(CLS):

Before stuffing, Inspector will check products' information, qty, package, during the course of stuffing, our inspectors will keep closely look at the loading process, ensure that the export cartons are well arranged in the container with no risks of deformation, collapse, help manufacturer finish loading under correct and clear working clauses and working process. In general:

1. Record the weather/arrival time of container/No./truck No.

2. Check the inner/outer condition to see if there is any damage/wet/hole/peculiar smell.

3. Check the qty of goods loaded and record the condition of outer packaging (master cartons/pallets).

4. Randomly draw and open some cartons to verify that the goods meet with clients' specification.

5. Supervise the whole loading process.

6. Seal the container with the custom's seal and unique quality inspection's seal Record the seal No. and departure time of container.
