What Is a During Production Inspection - DUPRO?
A DUPRO inspection ensures that your factory follows quality specifications and completes each stage of production on time. When at least 20% of your order is complete, our inspector visits the factory to thoroughly review and test your product using industry-standard procedures. We can also conduct in-line inspections to identify potential issues early in the production process.
A full inspection report will be provided on our platform.

Minimize costly corrections.

What Checks are Carried Out?
The QIMA inspector will first randomly select a sample of products for inspection, following the ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 sampling standard.
After the sample has been selected, the inspections are tailored to fit client needs and specific products.
We provide a variety of pre-designed inspection checklists suitable for different products, which you can use "as-is." You also have the option to modify these checklists by adding particular checks, or you can develop a completely new checklist that caters to your specific requirements.
You can also benefit from our in-line inspections, designed to continuously monitor and address quality issues throughout the production process.
