Incoming
Check panels, wood, fabric, foam, hardware, finish sample, labels, and supplier documents before production.
Quality Control
QC tied to the approved sample.
Inspection follows the drawing, material board, hardware list, carton method, and agreed defect limits.
Inspection path
Five checkpoints before release.
Each checkpoint uses the approved drawing, sample, color board, hardware list, and packing file.
First article
Confirm first production piece against drawing, golden sample, color board, hardware position, and assembly method.
In-process
Monitor cutting, drilling, frame assembly, upholstery, finishing, drawer fit, and repeated dimensions.
Final
Inspect appearance, measurement, stability, function, hardware count, labels, barcode, manual, and carton mark.
Packaging
Check trial assembly, corner protection, inner packing, carton closure, packing list, photo record, and loading plan.
Inspection file
One file connects sample, production, packing, and shipment records.
- QC checklist: dimensions, finish, function, hardware count, label, barcode, carton mark.
- Approved sample photos: front, side, back, key details, and signed change notes.
- Material board record: panel, veneer, fabric, foam, metal finish, hardware code, and accepted alternatives.
- Hardware list: screws, connectors, hinges, slides, handles, anchors, spare kit, and quantity per unit.
- Packing file: carton artwork, carton size, gross weight, net weight, CBM, packing list, and shipment photos.
Buyer or third-party inspection
Book inspection after finished and packed quantity is clear.
- Confirm finished quantity, packed quantity, and which SKUs are ready for inspection.
- Agree sampling level, AQL, and critical, major, and minor defect definitions before the inspector arrives.
- Prepare golden sample, drawing, color board, hardware list, carton artwork, and packing method for comparison.
- Reserve time for rework, re-check photos, and buyer approval before the shipment date.
- Keep inspection report, defect photos, rework record, packing photos, and loading photos in the shipment file.
Market document support
Documents depend on product type and buyer requirement.
- Panel furniture: emission-related document slots such as TSCA Title VI, CARB-related, or formaldehyde support where applicable.
- Upholstered furniture: fabric, foam, label, and flammability-related document support where the buyer requires it.
- Storage furniture: stability, anti-tip hardware, warning label, wall-anchor kit, and instruction manual checks.
- Retail channel: barcode label, carton mark, warning label, assembly manual, spare-parts list, and vendor file fields.
- Shipment file: packing list, commercial invoice fields, carton count, loading photos, and container seal record if required.
Risk control
Catch small issues before they become claims.
Color drift, wrong holes, missing screws, weak cartons, unclear manuals, unstable storage.
Color and finish
Compare bulk pieces against the approved color board or golden sample under agreed lighting and tolerance.
Hole and hardware fit
Check drilling position, drawer slide movement, hinge alignment, screw count, and labeled hardware bag accuracy.
Trial assembly
Assemble selected units before packing to confirm instructions, hole positions, stability, gaps, and customer-use sequence.
Packing release
Confirm corner protection, carton closure, labels, manuals, spare kit, carton marks, and loading photo record before shipment.
