Goods Entry Inspection Procedure:
All in-coming goods received will be recorded in the Entry Book. The goods are then inspected. Items like mirror and marbles which sometimes goes directly to the project site are not noted.
The person responsible will be the Store Keeper.
Online Inspection at Machine Area:
All the raw materials will be checked for defects, finish & quality before the machining operations are started.
The first piece after every operation will be checked for its specifications.
The component will be checked for its compatibility and inter-changing ability with its mating component after all the operations have been completed. The quantity of the items will also be checked.
The person responsible will be the Quality Control Inspector and Supervisors
Stage Inspection after Sub-Assembly:
One sample of each and every item will be Dry Assembled and Quality Control check will be done as per specification as per the given drawings.
All components received from the Sub-Assembly will be checked for the quantity and is noted. Components are inspected on the percentage basis for its dimension and the accuracy of operations done on it with respect to the specifications given.
Visual Inspection will be done on all the components checking for defects like bad veneer joints, veneer damage, material with knots, twists etc. & improper sanding operation.
The person responsible will be the Quality Control Inspector and Supervisors

At the second stage all items are inspected after it is been completely assembled after the final polishing is done. Colour finish as per the approved sample, functional aspects of the unit, correct ironmongery usage and the construction details will be checked. The items will then be sent for packing after the necessary rework is carried out if any.
At the third stage the items will then be packed in special boxes made as per specification taking into consideration the way it is being freighted. Packing inspection will be made to ensure that the boxes can sustain the journey, without damaging the items inside it.
