How to ensure the mass production meets your expectations

Why mass-produced products often don’t meet expectations

• The factory may lack the capability to produce products according to your specifications.
• The factory may not fully comprehend your product standards and requirements.
• The product design may be ineffective for mass production.
• The factory might simply fail to adhere to the agreed product standards and requirements.

How can we avoid the deviation as much as possible?

1. During product development, evaluate the design’s feasibility for mass production. Consider how different materials affect functionality and appearance, ensure key dimensions are specified, and identify critical quality control points for the manufacturing process.
2. Establish specific quality standards and ensure the factory fully understands them.
3. Choose a factory that meets your requirements. Familiarize yourself with the factory’s capabilities and quality control standards.
4. It is important to record and organize all conclusions during negotiations. And review them before placing an order.
5. Utilize the approved sample, as this represents the best version of your product and will serve as the model for mass production. The factory should manufacture the items based on this approved sample.
6. Monitor production processes to ensure that timelines are met, allowing you to respond promptly to any issues that arise.
7. Conduct a quality inspection after production is complete. There are two methods for inspecting mass production: Statistical Quality Control (SQC) and 100% inspection. For high-value products, we recommend 100% inspection; for lower-value products, SQC is more appropriate. Additionally, consider whether products could be damaged during the inspection process. Soar has developed a comprehensive set of quality inspection standards specifically for kitchenware products.
8. Finally, track the results of your inspections and refine your processes over time.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that the mass production of your products consistently meets your expectations.
