What is a Post Production QC, Quality Control Check, Quality Assurance Check. 

A post-production quality control check is a process used to evaluate the quality of a product or service after it has been manufactured or produced ideally produced towards the end of the production before paying the remainder of an invoice.

The specific things that are checked during a post-production quality control check can vary depending on the industry, the type of product or service being provided, and the particular quality standards and requirements of the company, organisation or country intended for importing of said product. 

My Manufacturer Says they will QC the product ? 

Sure, good organisations or contract manufacturers will have Internal quality control procedures, processes that are implemented to ensure the quality of its products.

These procedures may include inspections, testing, and audits, and may be carried out by the company's own employees, but can you be 100% that they will not err on the side of their employer, or favour you. We assist Co have a large network of testing companies for many different products or international standards. We cannot recommend using external parties to keep the factories honest. 

This costs a lot, do I really need it? 

Firstly, ensuring the quality of the final product is crucial for customer satisfaction and retention. 

Customers expect a certain level of quality when they purchase a product, and if the product fails to meet these expectations, they are likely to be disappointed and may not return to buy from the company again.

Not meeting expectations has a massive impact on future growth through either word of mouth or return rate, which is so important with the trends of online advertising and increased CPA ( cost per Acquisition ). 

On the other hand, investing in quality control checks can help ensure that the final product meets the required standards and the customer's needs and expectations. 

You are then creating positive interactions and, in turn opportunity for that customer to tell ten people about how excellent your brand is. 

What's the risk if I don't QC my product? 

Secondly, investing in quality control checks can help to reduce the risk of costly defects, and product recalls. Defective products can not only lead to customer dissatisfaction and a loss of sales, but they can also result in significant financial losses for the company. 

Unfortunately, too many people we talk to here at We Assist Co, have not performed 3rd party or professional post-production QC's and shipped to their home, office or warehouse that on delivery, find a significant % of issues with the order. 

It is crippling them for years to come, sometimes killing their dreams of owning their own business.

My manufacturer might not let me send in 3rd Party ? 

So Thirdly, investing in quality control checks can help to improve the efficiency and productivity of the manufacturing process. 

The manufacturing company may need to rework the product.Long term this will bolser the relationship, otherwise are they the correct partner for you over the next 10 years of business? 

By investing in quality control checks during the manufacturing process, defects can be identified and corrected before the product is shipped, reducing the risks to your business and improving the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process and your ongoing profit margins.

Word of Mouth, starts with the QC.

Finally, investing in quality control checks can help improve the company's overall reputation and credibility. 

Customers and clients are more likely to trust and do business with companies with a proven track record of producing high-quality products. 

By investing in QC checks, companies can demonstrate their commitment to producing the best possible products and services, enhancing their reputation and credibility in the market.
