manufacture — 02

Quality control that answers to the drawing.

The container is the worst place to discover a defect. We plan and manage inspections through production — judged by engineers against your specification, with payments staged so the leverage stays with you.

what we do

The inspection regime.

Inspection planning

A plan set by risk, not ritual: which stages get inspected, to what AQL levels, against which checklist — agreed before production starts, so "pass" means something and nobody argues about the standard after the fact.

Pre-production & first articles

Materials, tooling output and first articles checked against the golden sample before volume runs. First articles are always inspected — the cheapest point in the entire program to catch a systemic problem.

In-line & pre-shipment inspection

During-production checks on critical products, and pre-shipment inspection to AQL sampling before the balance payment moves: dimensions, function, finish, packaging and marking, documented with photographs against the spec.

Corrective loops

When an inspection fails, defects are documented against the specification, corrective action runs with the factory, and the batch is re-inspected before release. Failures handled in-factory stay invoices; failures discovered in-market become your brand.

  • An inspection plan you agreed to before production started
  • Inspection reports with photographs, measurements and a clear disposition
  • Golden samples held as the reference for every batch
  • A defect and corrective-action history per supplier — leverage for round two

the inspection loop — failures stay in the factory, not in your market

straight answers

Asked often.

What happens when an inspection fails?

Defects are documented against the specification, a corrective loop runs with the factory, and the batch is re-inspected before release. Payments are staged so the leverage stays with you until the product is right.

Do you inspect every order?

First articles, always. After that the inspection plan is set by risk — per-shipment for critical products, skip-lot once a supplier has earned it. You always know which regime you're on.

works with

Part of one system.

Quality control inherits its standard from sourcing & vetting (the spec and the golden sample) and clears the way for production & freight. The discipline comes straight from our engineering practice — same tolerances, same test mindset.
