Inspection & Expediting
Factory inspections, production monitoring, quality verification and expediting to ensure manufacturing schedules and delivery commitments are achieved.
Catching problems on the factory floor, not after delivery.
AST coordinates factory inspections and production monitoring throughout manufacturing, verifying quality against the agreed specification and actively expediting production so delivery commitments are met — not just promised.
What We Do
- Factory acceptance testing (FAT) coordination
- In-process production monitoring
- Quality verification against specification
- Active expediting against project milestones
What Gets Verified
- Material certificates & traceability
- Dimensional & performance testing
- Documentation completeness before dispatch
Why inspection needs to happen before, not after, shipping.
Defects Caught Early
Issues found at the factory are far cheaper to fix than issues found on site.
Schedule Confidence
Active expediting keeps manufacturing on track instead of reactive follow-up.
Complete Documentation on Delivery
No last-minute scramble for missing certificates or test reports.
Common questions about this service.
Do you inspect at the manufacturer's factory or only on receipt?
Inspection is coordinated at the manufacturer's factory during production and before dispatch — that's the point of catching issues early.
Can this be added to an order already placed?
Yes, inspection and expediting can be added to an existing purchase order as long as manufacturing hasn't been completed.
