All good suggestions. I was looking for something a little less literal. This seems to fit best in the context.

Thanks to everyone!

post and prior (production)

Explanation:
Nothing to do with a river here, these terms are often used to refer to operations or tasks done before and after production.

les opérations en aval de la production = operations after or following production
les contrôles en amont = checks carried out beforehand
