[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Introduction

USA based importer and buying agency, BRM Imports LLC import stainless steel kitchen and household products including; bento boxes and lunch boxes, stainless steel and household products with the majority of their imports coming from India. In 2019, the company experienced product quality issues, however, they are aiming to improve their services and offer the best possible stainless steel and household products. Especially as the company could not afford to have any further quality management issues going forward.

BRM Imports looked for a third-party inspection service and they chose HQTS. We sent out our inspection team to their supplier’s factory in Jodhpur, Rajasthan-India and we completed 100% piece by piece inspections of all their products.

Challenges

When the HQTS quality control inspection team went to the factory on the first day the inspector checked 20% of food products and made some observations. Making note of which products did not follow HQTS defect classifications. Investigations continued and some quality problems related to inspection goods (major and minor) and quality issues were found. One drawback was, the supplier was unable to provide the needed manpower to repack goods. Also, the instructions given by the client were not followed by the supplier, causing the client to be dissatisfied with the quality of the finished product.

Solutions

HQTS inspection team performed a piece by piece inspection and pre-shipment inspection (PSI) for 315 samples and sent inspection reports, assuring the client the best quality for their products. HQTS also provided a listing service and a customised inspection service. Our team advised the supplier that they should strengthen communication with their workers to prevent any further quality issues and greater losses for both the supplier and the client.

Result

By using HQTS quality control inspection services, the quality of BRM Imports products have gradually improved. In four days the HQTS supervisor inspected 3000 pieces and the analysis showed, 94.83% of those products passed the quality checks. However, 158 were detected with either major or minor defects.
