Look at the production flow
Ask how raw materials enter, where semi-finished goods are stored and how finished goods are packed. A clear flow usually makes problems easier to identify.
If the workshop is busy, pay attention to whether the process looks organized or improvised.
Compare samples with real production
A beautiful showroom sample does not always represent daily production. Buyers should ask which items are current orders, which are old samples and which can be customized.
Take photos, write model numbers and confirm whether the supplier can repeat the same quality in bulk.
Ask practical quality questions
Good questions include inspection steps, defect handling, packaging tests, spare parts, warranty communication and who signs final approval before shipment.
