QUALIS, the pre-shipment checkpoint for Indian furniture

Field notes

The workflow is organized around three checkpoints: verify the supplier before ordering, monitor production while goods are being made, and inspect before payment or loading. Its sample report records AQL 2.5 findings such as moisture and joint integrity, while the defect library describes problems including unseasoned sheesham cracking, missing hardware, short shipments, and poor container stacking. Coverage is listed across six Indian furniture clusters or regions.
