• Verify critical material and component quality (wood moisture content, veneer condition, metal coating thickness, fabric/foam specs, hardware quality, etc.) at the start of production.
• Monitor key in-process control points (cutting process, sanding, assembly fitting, packaging drop-test compliance...) to prevent late-stage defects.
2. Strengthening Process & Compliance Oversight
• Review factory production processes and workflow to identify risks affecting quality (storage conditions, environmental controls, safety issues).
• Verify factory's internal QC checkpoints, ensuring they follow buyer/Connor/QA requirements and SOPs.
3. Data Analysis & Feedback Contribution
• Track and analyze recurring defects and report to the
QA Manager.
• Provide recommendations for corrective and preventive actions (CAP) based on inspection findings and factory behavior.
• Follow up CAP effectiveness for previous issues until closure; timely submission of CAPS as requested.
4. Enhanced Documentation & Communication
• Ensure all inspection photos, data, and comments are detailed and accurate to support investigations when needed.
• Communicate major defects or potential delays immediately to QA Manager and relevant parties (
merchandiser, vendor) to avoid shipment delays.
• Provide on-site clarification to factory regarding technical drawings, workmanship expectations, and packaging requirements.
