3. Pre-Shipment Inspection

Pre-Shipment Inspection(PSI, known as Final Random Inspection) is the most popular and commonly used quality inspection method. Pre-Shipment Inspection takes place when the production is 100% completed. Pre-Shipment Inspection can visual check on all the relevant aspects of the product: quantity, components, assembly, aesthetics, function, size, labeling, packaging, and other required parameters.

MAN-DAYS DEFINITION

This general man-day definition: "a unit of one day's work by one person" seems to be the most suitable for all cases. In the quality control industry the man-day is considered as a workload unit, which is very similar. From the buyer's point of view, the "man-day" is a system that allows direct and quick QC cost calculations.

"Man": both women and men work as inspectors. Qualified staff is crucial for reliable quality control. Inspectors spend their time checking products quality and conformity in factories in order to protect the importers' interests.

"days": A meaningful inspection takes four to six hours. Inspectors should only perform one QC per day, to ensure reliable results.
