How a Third Party Quality Control

Service Can Benefit Your Business -

ET2C International Inc

A ​third-party quality control service​ operates as a keystone of your supply chain.

Whether you source from down the road or as far as Asia, quality control requires
constant attention. When your product must meet certain requirements to sell,
verifying the capabilities of your suppliers is critical.
Thankfully, quality control metrics ensure that your decision to source from Asia
remains cost-effective. Through early identification of issues and swift
implementation of corrective action plans, quality control services deliver
sustainable value to their clients.

Why Should You Consider a Third Party Quality

Control Service?

When it comes to quality control and assurance, your business should embrace
the best services for your product’s needs. Quality control checks give updates
for whatever steps in production you choose to inspect. Sometimes that means
inspecting materials before they ship from the factory, and other times before
production begins, or any number of inspections between the two.

A range of representatives operate inspections in Asia, from in-house to third

party.
With an In-House Inspector at the Factory

In-house inspectors work from within the factory, developing quality control
reports at requested moments in production. If you have established the
trustworthiness of a factory, then this option is certainly viable. With a continuous
improvement methodology and training at the factory level, it is possible to move
to a self-certification inspection process that puts the responsibility for quality
inspections firmly on the Supplier.

However, there is a potential conflict of interest. Loyalty may warrant that their
interests align with the manufacturer over their clients and a costly mistake on
the factory floor may be pawned off as certified for importers to discover in their
own warehouses.

With a third Party Quality Control Service

Third-party quality control services function as the industry standard for quality
control. They are objective and have experience across different product
categories, which provides additional added value when it comes to potential
product-specific quality issues.

Control ​parameters​ play an invaluable role in the performance of quality

products. There is little doubt as to the value of a third party quality control
service in Asia.

What Quality Controls Do I Need for My Business?

Early audits of factory and supplier capabilities ensure that your partners are
capable of fulfilling orders. At this point in the process, you should be examining
the methods and metrics of quality control. Manufacturers must demonstrate the
infrastructure and technology necessary to identify and correct any errors in
production.
Visibility is paramount. Understanding the production process and the materials
being used to make your product are key to a successful production. It is
important to recognize potential communication issues stemming from your
instructions. Every part of your product specification creates a measurable
benchmark for a third party quality control service to validate. Once you define a
key metric, quality control checks evaluate whether production is meeting those
expectations.

Some metrics are already set, like the Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL) outlined
in the ​ISO 2859-1​. While your own expectation can aim higher, meeting these
baseline expectations can critically impact the salability of your products.

Critically identifying potential issues upstream, on-site, at the factory will remove
significant future cost. Once the products have been shipped costs have already
been incurred and it is likely that the cost of goods has already been transferred
to the supplier. Getting anything back at that stage is problematic at best.
Therefore, investing in third party quality control services has ​a significant benefit
to your business​ and provides a level of comfort that your company’s money is
being well spent.
