Every serious sourcing conversation about the Lux eventually arrives at quality control process, usually because it is where cost and risk meet.
Retail staff rarely ask about quality control process directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why quality control process matters on the Lux
Incoming inspection sampling catches most issues before they reach shops.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Lux economics actually settle.
Functional testing of a sample from each batch is standard practice.
