Factory inspection is a defined sequence, not a single event. A three-gate model runs at intake, in-process and pre-shipment.
“An inspection regime is only as strong as the record it leaves behind. If it cannot be produced against the batch six months later, it did not happen.”— Technical Desk, BETA Projects
01Intake
Raw material is verified against the specification before it enters the production line. Species, grade, moisture content and dimensional consistency are recorded. Non-conforming stock is removed before it becomes finished product.
02In-process
Production is sampled during the run against the approved control sample. Colour, finish, dimensional tolerance and squareness are measured. Adjustments are made in-line; the batch record is annotated against the release order.
03Pre-shipment
Packed cartons are opened and cross-checked against batch records prior to loading. Quantities are reconciled and the loading sequence is confirmed against the delivery plan.
