Keep Your Production on Track: Verify Quality Mid-Process
A During Production Check (DPC, also called DUPRO) is a mid-run inspection when 30-50% of your order is complete, with the rest still in production.
As a third-party inspection agency, our team ensures the initial quality standards are maintained throughout. We check finished goods and ongoing lines to spot deviations – the best way to fix issues while time remains, saving budget on full reworks.
A DPC is essential for risk management, especially when:
- Handling large or time-sensitive orders.
- Past issues with the supplier.
- Initial checks revealed corrections needed.
- Consistency is key across high-volume units.
Our DPC Process: Step-by-Step
Our approach gives a real-time view of your production health.
- Status Review: Confirm schedule and completion percentage before visit.
- On-Site Check: Our inspection team evaluates live lines and samples finished goods.
- Mid-Stream Report: Detailed findings within 24 hours for quick action.
What We Assess in a DPC

- Finished Goods: Random sample against specs/golden sample.
- Live Production Line: Verify materials and procedures in use.
- Production Status: Check quantity to ensure deadline met.
- Factory's Internal QC: Assess their team's effectiveness.
