During Production Check (DUPRO)

What is a During Production Check (DUPRO)?

A During Production Check (DUPRO) is an Inspection Service performed when 26-99% of your production is completed and hasn’t been packed for shipping. It is typically performed at 40-50% of the product stage.

We are able to check all components, materials, and semi-finished parts according to your specification. They are inspected to avoid any possible defects before mass production. A DUPRO becomes a safety net and keeps your production on the right track.

 

Why perform During Production Check (DUPRO) ?

We will help you validate products being produced and you can ensure they continue to meet quality requirements. It uncovers production problems at a rather early stage. So you can have ample time to rectify production issues such as poor product quality, delayed production schedule, and more. It works for all kinds of products and is typically ideal for Medium Risk Products (E&E) and poorly performed factories.

 

How a During Production Check can help with your production and product quality issues?

  • To verify if the production schedule is on track to prevent delay.
  • To ensure product quality and specifications are in line with your requirements during the mass production stage.
  • To discover defects and nonconformities and avoid them developing into critical quality issues.

 

When should you use During Production Check?

The During Production Check is effective when:

  • Your products have strict compliance requirements e.g. electrical and electronic products.
  • Your existing factory performs poorly constantly. 

The production quantity is large and on-time shipment is important.

 

How does During Production Check work?

During Production Check keeps your production on track. In a During Production Check, inspectors verify the quality of your semi-manufactured or final products according to conformity and your product specification.

After inspection, you have visibility of whether the products meet your expectation. If there’re any defects, you are able to see them in the report and corrective actions can be taken to improve the production process.

Some of the standard specifications in During Production Check include product conformity, workmanship, visual, onsite functionality test, packaging, shipping mark, labels, etc.
