How Can You Eliminate Non-Conformities in Your Purchasing Process?
by David Tippetts
This article discusses about second party and third party Industrial inspection activities that are done to certify purchased equipment or tool has the same quality and quantity that stated in their purchase order.
There are many similarities between Industrial commodity inspection and Pre-shipment inspection.
The pre-shipment inspection term is used to demonstrate that the inspection must be done in the vendor shop and before shipment. However commodity inspection can be done everywhere. It depends to the agreement between the buyer and vendor.
The buyer might decide to send its own inspector for its commodity or might decide to hire a third party commodity inspection agency to do it.
The commodity inspector needs to review precisely the proforma invoice, goods quality specification and purchase order in advance. When he/she completed the review, and then can physically inspect the related commodity.
The buyer will receive the inspection visit report from commodity inspector and will be notified for result of inspection. If the commodity had the related conformity with the purchase order, then the inspector will submit the inspection release note.
When the manufacturer received the inspection release note, and then can make arrangement with the shipping company for transportation of goods. The seller must notify the inspector in advance to attend to its shop to witness the loading.
An inspection certificate must be submitted by a third party inspection company if there is a <a href="http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/letter-of-credit-L-C.html">letter of credit</a> in place and has been opened in the buyer's bank and mandates the inspection. The certificate must be delivered to the seller's bank.
In this case the inspection certificate must be issued when the seller sent the following documents to the commodity inspection agency: bill of lading, certificate of origin and confirmed packing list.
Nevertheless, if the vendor and purchaser have agreed for telegraphic transfer (T/T payment), then having an inspection certificate is not necessary.
This is not routine practice and may happen only in the small transactions. The buyer and seller may have worked for years together and then prefer not spend lots of time to follow procedures for LC opening.
The certificate of inspection is not necessary all the time. Specifically in the telegraphic payment model, the inspection certificate will not be used. The purchaser might only request for the inspection visit report and inspection release note.
The buyer is the authority that determines the inspection scope. The buyer may order for pre-shipment inspection or request a detail inspection for manufacturing stages. It may order for inspection based an inspection and test plan. The pre-shipment inspection may not reveal some defects. The scope of pre-shipment inspection is only visual quality not quality.
The inspection cost depends to the scope of inspection. If the buyer wants its inspector to witness the important tests during the manufacturing process, then must pay more. In this case will assure that will receive equipment in its premises without any defect.
Depending to the procurement specification; some buyers mandate vendor inspection and commodity inspection together. They give an inspection and test plan to their manufacturers and determine their "hold points". These are the points that manufacturers cannot proceed without attendance of the third party inspectors. There are some other points that are called witness points. These are the points that mandate the manufacturers to notify the inspectors, but can do the tests without attendance of the inspectors. There is other point called "review". The review means review documents. The inspector will verify the quality control records in the final inspection's day.
