Inspection Types

Tooling

Poorly made tooling, guarantees poor quality product. Tooling must be inspected and tested before the production begins

Raw Materials

Save time and money. Don’t wait until the end of the production to find out your factory used the wrong materials

In Process

Mistakes can happen in every step of the production. Find
problems as soon as they happen and correct them immediately

Pre Shipment

The last line of defense in many cases. Don’t let your customer be the one that finds quality issues in your products. We inspect based on AQL for best results

Metal

Including many technologies, we can help you with

Electronics

We can support you with all device level technical issues

Assembly

For functional or visual needs, we know quality assembly

QMS

We understand the mechanics of QMS and how they work

Before We Go.
Consultation With You

Risk Analysis

What is the risk? How big is the risk? How much money should you invest in mitigating it? What’s the best way to do it?

Scope and Method

What aspects of the product do we inspect? How do we inspect them? What kind of measuring devices should the inspector use?

Sample Size

How many units should we check? How much is enough to get a good idea of the situation of the entire batch? How do we make this decision?

When and Where

Which site should we go to? What is the best timing? Do we check all production processes, or do we only check the final product before shipment?

Sample size

Risk Analysis

The higher the risk, the bigger the sample size

AQL

Follow AQL or your standards

Test Type

Different Tests require different sample sizes

Impact on Decisions

The lower the inspection results on decisions, the lower the sample size

Working

By AQL

THE ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL (AQL) IS A MEASURE APPLIED TO PRODUCTS AND DEFINED IN ISO 2859-1 AND THE MOST WIDELY USED SAMPLE SIZE SYSTEM

Industry Standard

Acceptable Quality Level is the most widely accepted sample size standard in the quality management world

Flexible

AQL allows you to customize your quality tolerance for your product and the money you spend on quality management

You Choose

The risk level and the sample size. If at any time results show the sample size is too big or too small, we can change it quickly

Impact on Decisions

The results of the inspections have significant impacts on decisions. Choose the AQL plan according to that impact

When We Find
Non-Conformities
During Inspection

Red Flags

We let you know immediately and alert the factory

Factory

We ask the factory to wait for a decision

Report

We send a clear and concise report with illustrations

Analysis

We analyze the situation with you to know the impact

Solution

We give you options to solve the problem

Measuring
Devices and
Calibration

Having the right measuring devices, calibrated
properly, is necessary for a quality inspection

Hand-held
tools

We use our own calibrated tools

Non-hand-held
tools

Special
equipment

Use only qualified laboratories
