What is a corrective action plan after a factory audit the most experienced and the least experienced buyers. The FQC(Final QualityControl) at a factory should, indeed, filter almost all defective goods. Most manufacturers in India are ISO 9001 certified and therefore, should have trustworthy quality assurance systems in place, including final quality control. But in the end, then question remains: when can we "Take ears to the field, take eyes to the farm"?



Four important questions to ask about factory QC

Trading companies and manufacturers promise one-stop service, from good costs and designs, all the way to organising shipments. Somewhere in between, there’s also quality control. Two important questions remain:
1.    Is the quality control team capable of understanding the buyer’s expectations? Most QC staff at factories, traders and sourcing agents are simple employees, paid a minimum wage. Training can increase capability.
2.    Is the factory QC team interested and encouraged to judge by the buyer’s standards?
The supplier’s cost rise when more defects are replaced. Management often pushes the QC team to be more lenient and test the limits of the buyer.
3.    Is the supplierinterested in continuing business with the buyer?
Supposing that the factory QC team performed well, a supplier may be inclined to send defects anyway. The immediate profit made from this particular shipment may outweigh the expected revenue from the (potentially damaged) future business with this particular buyer.
4.    Are the results and findingsshared with the buyer?
Traceability, transparency and accountability are key for good quality control. Good factories readily share statistics and cases of insufficient quality with buyers to gain better understanding and fullfill orders.
If the answer to any of the questions is “no”, then independent quality control by third parties and/or the buyer’s in-house QC team, serve to double check on the Final Quality Control done by the factory.
