Case Study 1: A clothing manufacturer based in the United States was looking to expand their business by sourcing products from a supplier in China. However, they were concerned about the quality of the products and wanted to ensure that they met the required standards before placing a large order.
Zoominspect was engaged to conduct an Initial Production Inspection (IPI) at the supplier’s factory in China. Our team of inspectors visited the factory and conducted a thorough examination of the production process, including the raw materials, machinery, and finished products. They also interviewed the factory’s management and staff to assess their quality management systems.
The inspection revealed that the factory was using sub-standard raw materials and that their quality control systems were inadequate. The factory was also found to be in non-compliance with local safety and environmental regulations.
Based on the findings of the inspection, the clothing manufacturer was able to negotiate better terms with the supplier and put in place a more stringent quality control system.
