We independently measure your fasteners against your drawings or technical specifications using optical profile measurement (ViciVision) and detailed visual checks.
What we check:
- Dimensions and tolerances on all critical features
- Thread profiles and geometry
- Overall length, diameters, radii, chamfers
- Surface defects visible to the eye
- Packaging & pallet conformity to PO (pack type, quantities, labeling, box specs)
What you receive:
- GO/NO-GO decision for each item
- Dimensional report vs. tolerences
- Photo documentation of samples
- Clear recommendations
Our inspectors visit the factory in Turkey and collect samples directly from production, finished goods, or packed containers – depending on your instructions.
How it works:
- We coordinate a site visit with your supplier
- Follow your sampling plan or propose one
- Samples sealed, labelled, and documented
- Transported to our lab for checks
Benefits:
- Prevents cherry-picked samples
- Full traceability from sampling to report
- Transparent communication with supplier
Many factories can provide attractive samples and paperwork. The real question is whether they can repeatedly make the same quality under normal production conditions.
Our Factory Capability Check is a focused, on-site review of the specific processes, equipment, and controls that affect your part numbers. It is lighter and more practical than a full ISO audit, and it is designed around your drawings and requirements.
Capability focus areas:
- Fit between your parts and the factory's machines, tooling, and process window
- Control of critical operations (forming, machining, heat treatment, coating)
- Availability and condition of gauges, measuring equipment, and fixtures
- Process control for dimensions that matter most to you
- Stability: changeover methods, operator training, and work instructions
- How non-conforming parts are detected, contained, and handled
- Traceability & production records: raw material → production → final control tracking, ERP/digital systems, labeling/barcoding, warehouse organization (FIFO/ LIFO), outside process control records
- Complaint handling & problem-solving capability: PPM history & defect monitoring, sorting capabilities (manual/machine), root cause analysis skills & test capabilities, effectiveness of 8D process, corrective action follow-up & documentation quality, adherence to promised corrective action deadlines
What you receive:
- A capability-focused report – can this factory reliably deliver your parts?
- Clear assessment: suitable now / suitable with improvements / high risk
- Photographic evidence (where permitted) linked to findings
- Concrete recommendations to make the factory "export-ready" for your needs
Benefits:
- Avoid qualifying factories that look good on paper but cannot run your parts stably
- Focus your time and volume on the most capable Turkish suppliers
- Provide stakeholders with a clear, factual view of supplier risk
