China Sourcing & Quality checks

Professional B2B Sourcing Services

ATI ENTERPRISE CO PTY LTD manages factory auditing, price negotiation, sample checking, assembly monitoring, and pre-shipment inspections. Sourcing directly from verified manufacturers in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, we protect Australian buyers from supplier fraud and product quality defects.

1. Direct Manufacturer Sourcing & Negotiations

Our sourcing team works directly on production floors, bypassing trade brokers and wholesale middlemen. This direct access allows us to negotiate competitive pricing, clarify custom specifications, and monitor production schedules:

• Factory Identification: Matching client product specifications with specialized manufacturers in industrial clusters (such as Tiantai for auto parts, Yiwu for housewares, and Ningbo/Taizhou for steel fasteners).
• Unit Cost Negotiation: Negotiating volume-based unit pricing, raw material indices, tooling costs, and production schedules directly with factory owners.
• Contract Formulation: Setting strict production terms, quality targets, and shipping deadlines in official manufacturing contracts.

2. Professional Inspection Stages & AQL Verification

We deploy qualified QC inspectors to manufacturing sites at critical production stages, using standardized Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) standards to audit quality:

Inspection Stage	Timing / Trigger Point	Primary Verification Checklist	Reporting & Action Thresholds
Initial Production Check (IPC)	10% of production completed	Verification of raw material specs, mold accuracy, first assembly fit check	Identify early defects, adjust tooling, check raw material certificates
During Production Check (DUPRO)	50% of production completed	Checking assembly line consistency, tracking production speed, testing components	Correct quality deviations, verify packaging carton strength
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)	100% produced, 80% packed	Random sample pulling (AQL 1.0 / 2.5), dimensional checks, drop testing	Approve container loading or trigger factory rework on failure
Container Loading Supervision (CLS)	Day of container dispatch	Verification of container interior condition, box count, seal verification	Ensure cargo is loaded safely, record container seal numbers

3. Comprehensive Supplier Audits

Before placing container deposits with a new manufacturer, we perform onsite supplier audits to assess their capability and reliability:

• Quality Management Systems: Auditing factory quality processes against ISO 9001 standards, checking calibration records, and inspecting testing labs.
• Capacity Verification: Auditing production line equipment, workforce numbers, and monthly throughput capacity to ensure they can meet production deadlines.
• Social & Environmental Compliance: Checking working conditions, safety equipment, and waste management practices to align with Australian corporate social responsibility standards.
