Keep Your Production on Track: Verify Quality Mid-Process
A During Production Check (DPC, also called DUPRO) is a mid-run inspection when 30-50% of your order is complete, with the rest still in production.
As a third-party inspection agency, our team ensures the initial quality standards are maintained throughout. We check finished goods and ongoing lines to spot deviations – the best way to fix issues while time remains, saving budget on full reworks.
A DPC is essential for risk management, especially when:
Handling large or time-sensitive orders.
Past issues with the supplier.
Initial checks revealed corrections needed.
Consistency is key across high-volume units.
