Our quality control review process

The Project Manager notifies the Quality Control Specialist when the project is ready for Quality Control Review and provides the Quality Control kit, which includes:

  • the Quality Control file directory containing the formatted target language files and matching source documents;

  • the Request Form filled in by the client and containing project-specific instructions.

  • the project schedule information;

  • instructions on which checklist/style guide to use, based on product type and file format.

The Quality Control Review Process involves:

  • reviewing the Desktop Published files focusing on formatting and following the checklist/style guide and client reference materials;

  • checking each target language file side-by-side against the source language version;

  • the Quality Control Specialist notifies the Project Manager when the first round of Quality Control review is complete and provides mandatory changes;

  • after the implementation of the changes, the Project Manager returns the formatted documents to the Quality Control Specialist for a second round of Quality Control;

  • upon verification of the implemented changes, and if the document is correct, the Quality Control Specialist delivers the final files to the Project Manager;

In order to ensure that the quality is up to par, our team can repeat the above-mentioned process as many times as needed, to ensure the quality of the deliverables.
