Artikore installs a disciplined inspection program that catches issues early and protects shipment quality at release.
In-line checks are positioned at critical operations, and tied to the T&A calendar, while pre-shipment inspections validate appearance, measurements, labeling/packout, and assortment accuracy against approved samples and specs.
Defects are classified by critical/major/minor with clear acceptance thresholds; evidence is logged and any deviation triggers a defined escalation and CAPA workflow.
The outcome is higher first-pass yield, fewer surprises at the dock, and on-time, in-spec deliveries.
