During Production Inspection, also known as DUPRO, is a type of quality control inspection that takes place during the manufacturing process. It is typically conducted when a portion of production\u2014usually between 20% and 80%\u2014has been completed and some units are already packed. The goal is to identify any potential issues or defects early, ensuring the final product meets required standards.<\/p>\n
