Quality Control for Office Furniture Manufacturing

Quality control is carried out at key stages of production, from incoming inspection and in-process checks to final inspection, trial assembly where required, and packing verification before shipment. At each stage, checks are carried out against the relevant requirements, including order requirements, drawings, material specifications, and approved samples where applicable.

Quality Control Flow

Incoming Quality Control

Materials and components are checked before production.

Process Quality Control

Checks continue during production against confirmed drawings and order requirements.

Final Quality Control & Trial Assembly

Finished products are checked, with trial assembly carried out where required before packing.

Packing Verification

Accessories and quantities are verified before shipment.

Incoming Quality Control

Before production begins, incoming raw materials and components are checked against order requirements, material specifications, and relevant drawings. Where compatibility needs to be verified, key components may also undergo trial fitting or assembly checks.

Inspection covers dimensions, thickness, surface finish, color, and the fit and assembly compatibility of key components with related parts.

Inspection Focus

Material Specifications

Incoming materials are checked against order requirements and material specifications.

Dimensions

Critical dimensions of materials and components are checked before production.

Thickness

Material thickness and consistency are checked, including relevant tolerances where applicable.

Surface Finish

The surface condition and finish of materials and components are checked against specified requirements.

Color

Incoming materials are compared with approved color cards or confirmed color samples.

Hardware

Hardware is checked for material, specifications, and assembly compatibility with related components.

Drawing Requirements

Materials and components are checked against the requirements shown in the relevant drawings.

After incoming inspection, quality control continues through in-process checks at key production stages.

Process Quality Control

During production, products and components are checked against confirmed drawings, customer order requirements, and relevant customization requirements.

In-process checks cover critical dimensions, hole positions, color, surface finish, and component fit and assembly.

Confirmed Drawings

Production is checked against confirmed drawings and relevant customization requirements.

Dimensions

Critical and custom dimensions are checked during production.

Hole Positions

Cable holes, connection holes, and other critical hole positions are checked against confirmed drawings.

Color

Color is checked against confirmed requirements.

Surface Finish

Surfaces are checked for scratches, runs or sags, blistering, orange peel, and other visible finish issues.

Fit and Assembly

Component fit, connection, and assembly are checked against confirmed requirements.

Customer Order Requirements

Production is checked against confirmed customer order and project requirements.

Non-conforming Product Handling

Non-conforming products or components are identified and segregated, then evaluated for rework, replacement, or other appropriate action.

Quality control continues with final inspection and trial assembly where required.

Before packing, finished products are checked for component fit, stability, function, appearance, and surface quality.

Trial assembly is carried out where required to verify fit and assembly before packing.

Inspection Focus

Trial Assembly Where Required

Products are trial assembled where required before packing.

Component Matching

Components are checked for proper fit and matching.

Stability

Product stability is checked during final inspection.

Function Verification

Product functions are verified before packing.

Appearance Consistency

Overall appearance is checked for consistency.

Surface Quality

Surface condition is checked during final inspection.

After final inspection, packing is verified before shipment.

Packing Verification

Before shipment, packing verification focuses on accessories and quantities.

Accessories are arranged on a working table and photographed from three angles as part of the verification process.
