As an international purchasing agency, BBDBuy recognizes that ensuring product quality is critical to customer satisfaction. To streamline the quality inspection (QC) process, we implement a standardized spreadsheet-based workflow. Here’s how our system works.
1. Defining the Core of Quality Inspection Process
BBDBuy's QC process focuses on consistency, efficiency, and transparency. For this, a well-structured Spread sheet acts as our foundation:
- Product Specifications:
- Safety Compliance:
- Cosmetic/Functional Checks:
- Safety Compliance:
2. Step-by-Step Spreadsheet Design
Our QC spreadsheet includes the following columns:
| Column Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Identify goods at every stage. |
| Order # / Batch # | Trace back inventory easily. |
| Inspector Name | Assign accountability. |
| Defect Rating (Critical / Major / Minor) | Prioritize corrective actions. |
| Conculsion (Pass / Fail / Re-inspect) | Simplify verification decisions. |
Conditional formatting highlights red flags (failed items) for quick review.
3. Automating Workflows for Efficiency
