Quality control ensures product integrity throughout the distribution process,
protecting brand reputation and customer satisfaction. Systematic procedures
prevent defective products from reaching customers while minimizing waste.

**Incoming Inspection:** Statistical sampling plans determine inspection
frequency based on supplier quality history and product criticality. AQL
(Acceptable Quality Level) tables guide acceptance criteria. Automated vision
systems detect cosmetic defects and dimensional variations.

**In-Process Controls:** Regular audits of picking and packing accuracy.
Weight verification and dimension checks prevent shipping errors. Temperature
and humidity monitoring for climate-controlled products. Equipment calibration
ensures measurement accuracy.

**Final Inspection:** Pre-shipment reviews verify order completeness and
packaging integrity. Random sampling of packed orders for accuracy verification.
Damage prevention protocols including proper cushioning and secure palletizing.

**Non-Conformance Handling:** Clear procedures for identifying, documenting,
and dispositioning defective products. Return to supplier processes with
supporting documentation. Internal quarantine procedures for products requiring
further evaluation.

**Root Cause Analysis:** Fishbone diagrams identify potential causes of quality
issues. Pareto analysis prioritizes the most significant quality problems.
Corrective action plans address systemic issues rather than symptoms.

**Continuous Improvement:** Quality metrics tracking and trend analysis.
Cross-functional quality improvement teams. Supplier quality development
programs to improve incoming quality levels.
