Professional Quality Control at Designated Facilities
OOCL Logistics offers expert and cost‑effective Quality Inspection (QI) services at designated factories, warehouses, and consolidation facilities. Working closely with your quality control team, we establish customized inspection SOPs to ensure cargo is examined in accordance with your specific quality requirements before export.
Structured Inspection from Packaging to Product Level
Our QI services cover inspections from packaging conditions through to product level verification, using Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) sampling tables or customer-defined procedures. Inspection scope may include:
Carton Audits
• Carton marking and labelling
• Carton dimensions and weight compliance
• Packaging elements (poly bags, safety labels, barcodes, ticketing, style, and SKU numbers)
• Carton and product quantity checks
• Carton damage and defect verification
Once packaging and labeling meet requirements, Visual Product Audits are conducted to assess product quality, including:
• Fabric and construction defects
• Workmanship issues
• Labelling accuracy
• Pressing and finishing quality
Any failed inspections are managed with clear disposition procedures, including vendor communication for rework and reinspection.
Transparent Inspection Tracking via PODIUM®
All inspection activities are documented and tracked through our PODIUM® system, providing customers with full visibility, including:
• Proactive alerts with inspection results, photos, and references
• Detailed inspection logs at the item level
• Replacement and reinspection tracking to support on time shipment
• Product quality metrics for vendor KPI monitoring
