eAQF's network of experts offers quality management and pre-production inspection services to thousands of brands worldwide.
The production pressures keeping you up at night boil down to one root cause: a lack of visibility into what's happening. You've lost enough sleep playing out worst-case scenarios of production gone wrong. That's where we come in. We'll be your eyes and ears on the ground, overseeing production so you don't have to lose sleep.
Our trusted network of global experts will oversee the entire process, right from the initial production check.
Think of our pre-production inspectors as the guardians who hover over your factory day and night.
Like a protective bubble shielding manufacturing from defects, our inspectors spot risks in their infancy when they're still easily corrected. We'll walk the floor, confirming that equipment, raw materials, processes, and personnel all meet specifications down to the thousandth decimal.
When inevitable issues arise, we catch them quickly so that corrections happen before volume production begins. No more panicked reworking or shipping delays.
Our pre-production inspection services offer complete insight, including:
We validate certificates to prevent sub-spec grades, examine composition for uniformity, and screen critical properties to ensure performance meets the required standards.
We thoroughly vet suppliers, review certification specs, and test mission-critical functionality to avoid problems when production begins.
We assess equipment calibration, examine capability studies, validate maintenance, and check to ensure that the facility is suitable for achieving your level of process precision.
We review inspection protocols internally, ensuring that the correct procedures are all in place. Our checks will monitor the factory production sample to ensure it matches the client approved sample.
We assess calibration seals, examine wear, measure against masters with known accuracy, and check suitability for your tolerance needs.
We evaluate the workspace, lighting, air quality, safety, maintenance, and tooling organization. We assess personnel qualifications to ensure they're appropriate. We also check storage and material handling.
From multiple checkpoints, we spotlight the make-or-break ones for your situation. Using our decades of manufacturing expertise, we translate pre-production technical findings into plain insights.
We identify glitches that could impair functionality or affect per-unit costs. Our experts equip you to make knowledgeable choices on risk trade-offs, working solutions, or changing courses prior to mass production.
Discoveries alone don't suffice. Through our local connections on-site, we can escalate issues directly to decision-makers who can then remedy them. Consider us your insurance to diagnose and resolve threats to your manufacturing process swiftly.
With eAQF, you can press 'go' on production. No more stress as your product takes shape, shrouded in uncertainty. Get 24/7 visibility and quality defense with our inspectors safeguarding the integrity of your product.
When you engage us for pre-production inspections, our experts provide total visibility, from raw materials to final pre-production quality checks. We work across all of these areas:
We inspect raw materials and every component feeding the line to check that they are correct and meet the required specifications. We also assess protective handling and validation to ensure they match your grade.
We conduct rigorous testing of all customer requests, including components, facilities, and specific equipment. We also check that equipment and gauges are monitored for proper calibration, and that the facilities maintenance and capability ranges suit your tolerance needs.
We thoroughly vet the methods to confirm they meet your most stringent product specifications and uphold blueprint requirements at each station.
For multi-tier supply chains, we can trace components back to their originating sites and then down through intermediaries to identify vulnerabilities that can remain hidden if they are only assessed in the final assembly factory.
We check the manufacturing facility to ensure that the layout is suitable to manufacture your order. We also examine equipment calibrations and procedures, testing environmental controls, technician competencies, and traceability practices.
We examine production samples under diverse customer usage patterns across user environments and duty cycles.
We check that cartons, pallets, inserts, and packaging components meet QC needs for being recyclable, water-resistant, and tamper-proof. We also check that they comply with destination requirements for barcodes and labeling.
