This will strengthen your relationship with them.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t always inspect at the same frequency<\/strong> (e.g. checking every third shipment). If you\u2019re going to inspect one out of every three shipments, make sure your factory doesn\u2019t know which one it will be. This way, they won\u2019t put more emphasis on ensuring the quality of those shipments.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t inform the factory about inspections too early.<\/strong> You can give them two-weeks\u2019 notice that you \u201cmay\u201d send an inspector, but don\u2019t always follow through. You should only give them a few days&#8217; notice that you will in fact conduct the inspection. You\u2019ll learn more by inspecting at less predictable times.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Decrease inspection frequency carefully and gradually.<\/strong> For example, you could start by inspecting two out of every three shipments, then move to one out of three. If quality slips, revert to a higher inspection frequency. Once things improve, decrease frequency again.<\/li><\/ol><p>By following these guidelines, you\u2019ll be in a better position to maintain a successful skip-lot program.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c0484d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c0484d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f34934\" data-id=\"9f34934\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22f65f9 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"22f65f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8ffd291 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8ffd291\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-788c7fa\" data-id=\"788c7fa\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f313821 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f313821\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This article was originally published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/insight-quality.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Insight Quality Services website<\/a>.
