What is During Production Inspection?

During Production Inspection (DPI) is a product inspection conducted during the manufacturing of products, at different stages and predetermined times. Typically, inspection occurs when at least 20% of the production is completed. This inspection ensures the factory is following established production methodology and techniques, providing monitoring and assurance. By identifying defects early, DPI helps eliminate them before products are finished, preventing additional costs downstream.

Challenges to get quality production from China

Sourcing from China can be complex, with quality variations common among suppliers and even within a single factory. Our During Production Inspection (DPI) services help ensure consistency and excellence, detecting potential defects early on and guaranteeing high-quality products that meet your specifications and expectations.

Culture and Language Barriers

 Language barriers can cause miscommunications and misunderstandings when working with Chinese suppliers, making it difficult to negotiate contracts and specifications.

Supplier Red Flags

Suppliers may compromise on quality, use cheaper materials, or misrepresent their capabilities to cut costs and secure orders. They may also promise unrealistic lead times, leading to delays.

Variability in Quality Among Suppliers

Sourcing products from China can be challenging due to the vast differences in quality among suppliers. This variability can make it difficult for companies to ensure consistency in their products.
