Shipping Inspection
It refers to the inspection performed just before shipping to confirm the quality. Although the final inspection is over in the product manufacturing process, there is some possibilities that the quality has dropped through the processes of packaging, transportation, and storage. Two types of deterioration are possible:
* artificial deterioration: change in shape, flaws, or other damage happening during transportation
* time degradation: change in color, rust, or loose screw
A shipping inspection is performed to check the deterioration and make product quality stable.
