There are many reasons
to keep on the top of your outsourcing partners. It is important to ensure both
the quality of finished goods and also to meet the ethical demands of the
increasingly aware customer base that don’t like support any environmental
damage or health hazards. You can break down your Factory inspection process
for the factory of Pakistan in different stages.
There are different
steps that you need to follow for factory inspections in Pakistan.
Initial
evaluation of the suppliers
Before making any
business with another part, it is important to verify that they are reliable
and they can deliver genuinely on their promises. Many of the contacts in this
developing world may advertise themselves as representing as a factory but the
truth is, they are the middlemen. The key problem with the middlemen is they
often don’t have control over the relationship with the control resolve issue
associated with performance and quality.
Social
compliance auditing
An important component
of delivering products to the bigger market is ensuring that your suppliers can
meet the necessary environmental and ethical standards. Even the large
companies with the set and established policies of using the ethical sourcing
may fail to audit their supply chain for compliance with such policies. So, it
is important to check the social reputation of the company.
Supply
chain auditing
Not just your direct
partners that you need to monitor but you can make sure that anyone who is
supplying the partners should meet the set standard too. You need to ensure
also that any material or part supplied by the chain are maintaining their
promises as per their initial agreement. Pakistan manufacturers have become
notorious for the substituting components for the production defects.
Production
inspections
The samples that you
received are quite perfect but the question is the products that are following
those samples are not up to the mark? It is a common picture when you are
working with the developing nation outsourcers. Building up the quality
prototype id quite perfect but there are lax standards in the production that
means the product is not matching the quality. You can save your money and your
time both by inspecting the small number of products during the early
manufacturing process to ensure that at least the initial methods are perfect.
It is also important to check the finished products before they ship so that
you can take the corrective steps at right time. For the larger quantities, it
is sensible also to conduct the inspections throughout the process so that
errors can be rectified quickly.
Shipping
and loading inspections
The process will not
end at the factory but you need to do it more. If you have goods with high
value, fragile or need to meet the certain legal requirements for the loading.
Packing, labelling, loading. It is a good idea to ensure that the products
don’t go missing, damaged, get broken or fail the inspection on the arrival by
auditing the goods as they are being loaded and as they are in the freight.
