Summary
A clerical position that inspects the appearance, dimensions, functionality, etc., of delivered products and parts to confirm compliance with quality standards.
Description
Delivery inspectors confirm compliance with quality standards for products and parts delivered from business partners through visual inspections, dimensional measurements, functional tests, etc. Following inspection procedures, they use measuring instruments such as calipers and micrometers to obtain numerical data and enter the results into designated inspection logbooks or systems. Defective products or items deviating from specifications are separated, and as necessary, reported and communicated to relevant departments, sharing information on corrective actions. They may also aggregate inspection data, perform quality statistical analysis, and propose quality improvements. They collaborate with factory or warehouse processes to support stable product supply.
