INSPECTOR
ON GRAJ.

The economics are not close

A pre-shipment inspection costs a small fraction of the freight. Rejecting or reworking at origin costs the inspection; discovering the same fault after arrival costs the goods, the freight, the duty and the customer.

The stages, and what each catches

Different checks answer different questions, and skipping the middle one is the common and expensive mistake.

• During production — catches a systematic fault while it can still be corrected
• Pre-shipment — verifies the finished goods against the specification
• Container loading — confirms what actually went into the box

It has to be against a written specification

An inspector cannot assess "good quality". They check against measurements, tolerances and an acceptable defect level that somebody wrote down — which means the tech pack is what makes inspection possible at all.

Status

Designed, not built. Production runs and their outputs are recorded; an inspection workflow with recorded results against a specification is not.
