1. Never trust a factory’s “in house” quality control.

2. While it may seem counter-productive for factories to cut corners to save a little money when it costs so much more to fix the problems – if they think they can get away with it, they will certainly try. The factory must be aware you will audit them regularly and will follow up with any problems. They must know you have some presence there to check up on them.

3. Once you approve a sample as being acceptable quality, you need to hold the factory accountable to this production quality.

4. The more face time you or your representatives spend in the factory – the better quality you’ll end up with.

5. Do not ever ship before you approve it! It doesn’t matter how “good” your relationship with the factory is. It doesn’t matter if you’ve shipped the same thing before. It doesn’t matter how big your order is or how many other future orders rely on this shipment. If you’ve got product in your home country (and you’ve already paid for it) it’s too late to be finding out about problems now.
