We support your industrial production, equipment, assets, and processes with our expertise and diverse services across global operations and supply chains.
The industrial world is rapidly changing with globalization and regulation shaping the way you optimize production, equipment, assets, and processes. Wherever you are positioned in the supply chain, your focus is on improving safety and reliability, cost, and time to market, while complying with local and international standards to minimize business risk.
Fergal delivers innovative and bespoke quality assurance solutions to meet these needs. From helping you bring industrial equipment quickly and efficiently to markets worldwide, to asset integrity management of your facilities, to ensuring regulatory compliance, our network of global expertise and services enables our customers to power ahead safely. Industrial services:
– During production inspection
– Raw material inspection
– Inspection and test plan (ITP)
– Sampling and analysis inspection
When you import goods from overseas, you need them to meet your specifications as accurately as possible.
You also need them to meet all health and safety requirements and be acceptable to your customers.
In sampling inspection, samples are taken from a target lot (inspection lot) for examination to determine the acceptability of the lot according to that lot’s quality standards.
Thanks to the small number of items to be inspected compared to 100% inspection, manufacturers can save on inspection costs and time. Sampling inspection also allows for the examination of several test items that cannot otherwise be inspected in 100% inspection.
However, sampling inspections do not guarantee the quality of all manufactured products. Therefore, sampling inspections need a system that cuts inspection costs while taking into consideration the manufacturers and consumers’ benefits, while reducing the risk of nonconformity to ensure consistently high quality. This means that the inspection scheme and how the appropriate sample size for the manufacturing process is determined are very important.
Sampling inspection service involves a relatively small number of items from a batch or lot, for a range of specifications such as appearance, workmanship, safety, functions, etc. prior to mass production.
An Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is a structured document that outlines the necessary steps and procedures to verify that a product, process, or project meets specified requirements and quality standards12.
It is a roadmap for quality control and assurance activities throughout a project’s lifecycle1.
An ITP lays out a schedule of inspections at critical control points or ‘hold points’ within a process, in order to verify that things are progressing as they should be.
Raw material inspection is a vital component of quality control in any manufacturing or production process.
It involves assessing the quality and suitability of incoming raw materials before they are used in the production line.
The purpose of the raw material inspection is to ensure that the materials meet the required specifications and comply with quality standards.
During the raw material inspection process, several key activities take place:
Visual examination: The inspector visually inspects the raw materials to identify any visible defects, such as physical damage, discoloration, or contamination. This initial visual examination helps to identify obvious issues that may affect the quality or performance of the final product.
Sampling: The inspector takes representative samples from the incoming batch of raw materials. The samples are selected in a manner that ensures they are a true reflection of the entire batch. These samples will undergo further testing and analysis to determine their quality and conformity to specifications.
Testing and analysis: The collected samples are subjected to various tests and analyses, depending on the nature of the raw materials and the specific quality requirements. These tests may include measurements of physical properties, chemical composition analysis, mechanical tests, or any other relevant assessments to assess the quality and suitability of the materials.
Documentation and record-keeping: The results of the raw material inspection, including test data, analysis reports, and any other relevant information, are documented and maintained as records. These records serve as evidence of compliance and can be used for traceability, audits, or future reference.
Acceptance or rejection: Based on the inspection results, the raw materials are either accepted or rejected. If the materials meet the required specifications and quality standards, they are accepted for use in the production process. On the other hand, if the materials do not meet the criteria, they are rejected, and appropriate actions are taken, such as returning the materials to the supplier or initiating corrective measures.
Raw material inspection plays a critical role in ensuring that the production process starts with high-quality materials. It helps prevent defects, minimize waste, and maintain consistency in the final product. By implementing a robust raw material inspection process, manufacturers can enhance product quality, meet customer expectations, and comply with relevant industry standards and regulations.
This service is ideal for larger quantity shipments, product lines with continuous production, strict requirements for on-time shipments, and as a follow-up if poor results are found during Pre-Production Inspection.
Fergal will inspect the production batch and examine products in the line for possible defects, normally when 10-15% of the merchandise is completed. We will identify if there are any deviations and offer advice on corrective measures and re-check any defects during Pre-Production Inspection to confirm they have been rectified.
At all stages of the production cycle our Fergal inspector will produce a full and detailed inspection report, together with a photographic record within 24 hours of the inspection allowing you to see the work undertaken. We have a global network of inspectors and can arrange your inspection within five working days of receiving your request.
During production inspection will provide you with an expert view prior to production giving you a quality safety net and the confidence that your suppliers will provide you with top quality products supporting the values of your brand.
We check and evaluate the quality of semi-finished and finished products according to your product specifications and issue an inspection report.
The during production inspection can help you confirm whether the quality, function, appearance and other requirements of the product are consistent with your specifications throughout the production process, and it is also beneficial for early detection of any non-compliance, thereby reducing delays in factory delivery risks.
The inspection content includes production line assessment and progress confirmation, enabling defective products to be improved in a timely manner, assessing the delivery time, inspecting semi-finished products in each production process, and checking the style, size, color, process, appearance, function, safety, reliability, packaging method, related labeling, storage conditions, transportation safety and other customer-specified requirements of the finished products.
