- Body making
- Seaming
- Welding
- Assembly
- Finishing
- Check critical parameters according to approved specifications and control plans.
- Monitor first-piece approval and periodic inspection during production.
- Ensure proper line clearance and identification of approved/rejected materials.

1. Dimensional & Visual Inspection

- Check product dimensions using measuring instruments such as vernier calipers, micrometers, gauges, and measuring tapes.
- Inspect for dents, scratches, cracks, burrs, rust, coating defects, printing defects, colour variation, contamination, and deformation.
- Verify printing registration, artwork, text, barcode, colour, and other customer-specific requirements.
- Inspect container/body dimensions, seam quality, closures, lids, and other critical features.

1. Testing & Quality Checks

- Conduct applicable tests such as:
- Coating thickness
- Adhesion test
- Hardness / surface checks
- Seam inspection
- Leak testing
- Torque / closure checks, where applicable
- Print and colour verification




- Weight and thickness checks
- Record test results accurately and report deviations immediately.

1. Finished Product Inspection

- Inspect finished products according to approved inspection standards and sampling plans.
- Verify product quantity, dimensions, appearance, labelling, packing, and identification.
- Release conforming products for dispatch after completion of required quality checks.
- Ensure rejected or doubtful products are properly identified and segregated.

1. Non-Conformance & Corrective Action

- Identify, document, and report quality defects and non-conformities.
- Raise NCRs for rejected materials/products as required.
- Support root-cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions.
- Monitor rework and rejection activities to ensure compliance with specifications.

1. Documentation & Records

- Maintain inspection reports, check sheets, test reports, rejection records, and quality logs.
