DUPRO is best used for critical orders and products, where you may wish to have an independent inspector present to monitor the production process of your supplier to ensure that your specifications are adhered to during the production and quality control. Or DUPRO may be mandatory by your country’s authority. In any case, DUPRO, will help you find out problems (in your supplier’s production process) at an early stage of the production cycle, allowing you to address the issue with your supplier to find a reasonable solution before it is too late. For DUPRO, a VIDA inspector will periodically visit your supplier’s premise (for example: one visit per week) with no advance warning (depending on your request or your countries requirements) and control the production process and randomly inspect the goods and report the result to the parties, i.e. the client (purchaser) and/or the country authorities.
- Why should “During Production Control (DUPRO)” be important to you?
- DUPRO protects your investment by assuring you that:
- The right materials with the agreed-on quality are used in production at all times
- Production capacity is scheduled so as to enable on-time delivery of the products
- It allows quick reaction if the supplier does not adhere to instructions, use the right raw material or if an error occurs
- It can help fulfil the mandatory requirements of the importing country’s authorities and get the necessary permit to release the goods from importing country’s customs
- It can bring you and your supplier closer, thus enabling a quicker and more efficient exchange of information.
