Proactive Quality Control That Saves Time, Cost, and Brand Reputation
Manufacturing is an evolving process, and issues caught late can result in significant losses. This is why During Production Inspection (DPI) is a key service offered by Advantage Co., Ltd. (ACL), particularly for international buyers sourcing products from Thailand.
DPI allows you to monitor product quality and production progress before the order is completed, giving you time to intervene and ensure that your order proceeds according to plan.
What is During Production Inspection (DPI)?
DPI is conducted when 20% to 80% of an order has been manufactured. It helps you evaluate whether the manufacturer is adhering to your specifications and maintaining consistent quality. It also helps identify production bottlenecks, risks, or delays.
DPI is Ideal for:
- Large volume orders
- New supplier relationships
- Complex or highly regulated products
- Urgent delivery timelines
What We Inspect During DPI:
- Use of Raw Materials and Components
We verify that the materials and components used match the approved specifications and are properly integrated into the production line. - Production Progress and Schedule
Our inspectors review production timelines and daily output to ensure the order is on track, reducing the risk of delayed shipments. - Product Quality During Production
We check in-process items to confirm compliance with agreed standards—focusing on appearance, dimensions, functionality, labeling, and packaging. - Workmanship and Defect Detection
DPI helps identify recurring defects, assembly issues, or process inconsistencies so that manufacturers can take corrective action before finalization. - Corrective Action Recommendations
If issues are found, we provide clear, actionable recommendations for immediate resolution. - Special Requirements and Custom Inspection Criteria
Additional inspection protocols can be conducted based on client needs.
Why DPI Matters in Thailand
Thailand is a global sourcing hub for industries such as electronics, toys, textiles, furniture, automotive parts, home appliances, and food processing. While Thai manufacturers are known for quality and reliability, all production lines carry some level of risk—especially for overseas buyers.
