Folding Table Production Process, The Quality Of Different Factories
Today we are going to introduce a simple folding table. First of all, we need to make clear the client’s needs before making a targeted comparison. Thereby presenting the comparison results to all importers. The client who buys folding tables is a chain brand store, which mainly focuses on daily consumer goods. They mainly look for reliable suppliers through regular exhibitions. By chance, clients started using CQI Pre-shipment inspection service. The original purpose was only to clear customs, but after repeated quality feedback from CQI, clients realized the significance of inspection and began to formulate inspection rules for each batch of goods.
At this time, CQI provides a series of upgrade services to help importers analyze the quality of products from the process. For example, the production process comparison of folding tables will be shown below.

Overview of factory
Conclusion
Although the factory produces and sells a variety of products, the products and accessories are all produced by themselve. Their management is orderly and pay attention to product quality. Therefore, after many inspections, the products all meet the quality requirements.
From the cleanliness of the production line, the management of the factory is not in place and don’t plan the site reasonably. From this aspect, we can also see the control levelof product production, which is one of the reasons for the above defects.
