What is Third-Party Supervision of Production (TPI)?
For important or time-sensitive productions - such as oil & gas equipment, production lines, ships, trains, engineering vehicles and special equipment - our inspectors set up a team and stay at the factory throughout production for weeks or months. They constantly supervise and monitor production, conduct technical inspection and FAT, confirm the schedule, and supervise the factory's internal quality control and conformity inspection.
- Resident team on site for the entire production
- Technical inspection & FAT conducted throughout
- Raw materials, semi-finished & finished products checked
- Detailed daily reports delivered to you
