Quality Control

I used to have a lot of concerns about our product quality. Were the boxes overfilled or underfilled? The last thing we need are customers complaining about missing items. At the same time, I know overfills and product giveaways impact profitability.

When we added Hardy Caseweighers, I finally felt I was in control. With Hardy, I know the boxes have the right number of products and are the correct weight so we aren't giving away products.

Overview

Reducing the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ)

For most manufacturers, achieving optimal manufacturing efficiencies while maintaining high product quality is the goal; but often a choice is made to err on the side of overfulfilling on their promises, even if it means accepting extra costs. While overfilling can reduce the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) by preventing underweight or under-count product from being delivered to customers, it comes at the cost of manufacturing efficiency.

Relying on overfilling is especially common for manufacturers that do not inspect every package but instead rely on random or intermittent inspections and Statistical Process Control (SPC) to reduce the risk of shipping underweight or under-count product

The Hidden Costs of Quality Control

Did you know the cost of one defective product is 15X to 18X the cost of the product*

The hidden costs of quality can be up to 15-25% of total costs.*

100% Product Inspection not only reduces overfills but can also eliminate missing pieces from products. 

Hardy Caseweighers make it fast and easy to detect missing components or overfilled cases reducing customer complaints
