Define what “acceptable” means
Quality control starts with a clear specification. Brand, grade, size, material, packaging and test requirements should be captured where relevant.
Check at the right stage
Some issues are easier to detect before dispatch, while others need verification at receipt. The control point should match the risk of the item.
Maintain evidence
Purchase documents, inspection records, photographs and delivery acknowledgements can support resolution if a quality issue arises.
Manage exceptions quickly
When goods do not meet requirements, the team should isolate the issue, communicate with the supplier and agree replacement or corrective action.
A practical quality process improves client confidence and helps prevent repeated supply problems.
