What Is a During Production Inspection - DUPRO?

A DUPRO inspection ensures that your factory follows quality specifications and completes each stage of production on time. When at least 20% of your order is complete, our inspector visits the factory to thoroughly review and test your product using industry-standard procedures. We can also conduct in-line inspections to identify potential issues early in the production process. A full inspection report will be provided on our platform.

Why Perform a DUPRO Inspection?

• Mitigate costly mistakes by identifying issues before a production run is completed.
• Implement timely solutions for defective products.
• Adjust the manufacturing process to prevent ongoing issues.
• Identify potential delays in product delivery.
• Verify that your specifications are being followed.
• Minimize costly corrections.
• Use in-line inspections to address issues in real-time during production

What Checks are Carried Out?

The QIMA inspector will first randomly select a sample of products for inspection, following the ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 sampling standard. After the sample has been selected, the inspections are tailored to fit client needs and specific products. We provide a variety of pre-designed inspection checklists suitable for different products, which you can use "as-is." You also have the option to modify these checklists by adding particular checks, or you can develop a completely new checklist that caters to your specific requirements. You can also benefit from our in-line inspections, designed to continuously monitor and address quality issues throughout the production process.

What Happens after a DUPRO is Completed?

Once a during production inspection is completed, a detailed report is provided on our platform the same day. You'll be able to access the report through your online QIMA account. The report outlines the inspection findings, includes photos of any defects, and provides an overall pass/fail assessment. If an in-line inspection was conducted, the results will be integrated into the report.
