Advantages of QC Inspections
1. Avoid Costly Product Defect and Shipment Delays
Quality control (QC) inspections minimize the number of costly defects by detecting non-conformances throughout the production cycle before it is too late.
2. Identify or Explore Corrective Actions
Product quality inspection services help companies determine the overall quality of their order, and determine the need to issue corrective actions before any products leave the factory.
3. Protect Brand and Reputation
Sub-standard products result in customer complaints and damage brand reputation. Third-party product quality inspections help ensure consistent customer satisfaction and maintain brand integrity.

Our range of quality control inspection services include:
- First-Article Inspections (FAI): As a global third-party inspection company, Global Wits Consultancy Services inspects first-article samples prior to volume production. This inspection in quality verifies that product specifications are being met and avoids unnecessary reengineering work later.
- In-Process Inspections (IPI/DUPRO): An in-process QC inspection, also called: During Production inspection, evaluates random samples from production lots when the process is circa 20-30% complete. This confirms the product quality and allows any necessary changes to be addressed early on, reducing rework time and costs.
- Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI): During a pre-shipment inspection, our engineers verify that finished goods conform to the most stringent specifications. A pre-shipment inspection (PSI) generally occurs when production is 100% complete and packaging is 80% complete. For example, if an automotive product or auto part inspection is required, we would request the specifications and golden samples in advance. These would then be used to ascertain the quality of the products produced at the supplier. Pre-shipment inspections are also known as pre-dispatch inspections.
- Container Loading Supervision (CLS): Global Wits Consultancy Services ensures that proper methods are employed during product loading, and we verify counts on-site. Products conformance to international standards will also be verified.
