Sourcing

Supplier Identification

Shimona Exports identify new suppliers based on their product range, financial status, infrastructure, manpower and efficiency of management.
We continuously update our information on new manufacturers and new products. Information pertaining to new varieties of value additions, fabric, accessories, and new technology area and quota availability are also updated.

Selection of Vendors
We assess the factories in terms of product range, quality of the product made, production capacity, facilities, financial capability, technology orientation, man power, working conditions, managerial efficiency and their overall quality policy. Once our initial assessment is over we exchange information with our principals and make a combined decision in approving an identified vendor.

Sampling

Samples are developed to suit the season's colors, fabric and style based of our buyer's requirements. Any numbers of sales man samples are made as per the buyer's requirements and courier them directly to the buyers. By offering this crucial service, we assist our buyers marketing efforts in their own country by giving them an edge over others.

Order execution and Quality Control: (Quality Management)

Orders are closely monitored from sampling to shipment. Status on sampling, production and shipment are transmitted to buyers regularly. We maintain a pro-active approach towards identification of problem areas and corrective measures are taken immediately to ensure timely deliveries. Our quality monitoring system pertaining to production has four stages as explained below:

  • Pre Production Check (PPC)
    Risks are reduced by checking material components, accessories / user manuals etc. at this stage itself.
  • Initial Production Check (IPC)
    First finished products are checked against buyer's specification and prototype sample. Deviations are identified and brought out for correction.
  • During Production Check (DUPRO)
    Inspection during production is carried out to check and verify that the initial discrepancies have been rectified and to ensure the average quality standard of production runs.
  • Final Random Inspection (FIR)
    Final random inspection is carried out when the total consignment is packed and ready for shipment. FRI is performed according to the International Inspection Standards.

    The detailed physical inspection of the samples selected at random is based on specifications of the buyers and it cover the criteria such as design / style, shrinkage, accessories, appearance, markings, color, labeling, material, assortments, workmanship, measurements, packing etc.

Status Reporting

Status report based on the multi-state inspections are transmitted to the buyers by faxes or e-mail. Production progress is analyzed in relation to the delivery terms and suitable course of action s taken to ensure goods are delivered in time. The consignment is allowed for shipment if only it is upto the buyers required standard.

Container Stuffing and Loading Supervision

An identification of the goods during the loading is made to ensure that only the inspected goods are being stuffed without getting mixed up with the un-inspected goods.

Documentation and Shipping Co-ordination

Shipping documents are checked as per the buyer's instruction and the copy documents are sent to the buyers well in advance of the shipment to avoid any discrepancy.
