Initial Production Check

Overview

The Initial Production Check (IPC), also known as Pre-Production Inspection (PPI), is an essential quality control procedure performed before mass production begins. It verifies that all raw materials, components, and production setups comply with the quality standards specified in your purchase order.

During IPC, inspectors focus on product specifications, raw material quality, and manufacturing processes, while also evaluating the factory’s production capacity, equipment, and readiness. By identifying potential issues at an early stage, IPC helps ensure a smooth production process, reduce quality risks, and prevent costly defects later in the supply chain.

Why Choose Initial Production Check?

• Verify raw materials and components meet quality standards before mass production begins.
• Ensure production setup and machinery are properly configured for consistent output.
• Detect and resolve quality issues early in the manufacturing process.
• Minimize defects and reduce costs by addressing problems at the initial stage of production.

Inspection Focus Areas

• Material and Component Verification: Confirm that all raw materials and components comply with purchase order specifications and required quality standards.
• Initial Product Inspection: Examine the first production samples to verify quality and compliance before full-scale manufacturing.
• Production Setup Evaluation: Review machinery, tools, and process settings to ensure correct configuration and production readiness.
• Sample Testing: Perform initial tests to assess product functionality, performance, and safety.
• On-Site Corrective Actions: Provide immediate feedback and actionable recommendations to resolve any detected issues on-site.

Inspection Process

• Preparation: Review product specifications and client requirements in coordination with the supplier.
• Sample Selection: Select representative samples from the initial production batch for inspection.
• Detailed Inspection: Examine materials, components, and finished products to verify compliance with quality standards.
• Supplier Feedback: Provide on-site feedback and recommend corrective actions to address any identified issues.
• Reporting: Receive a comprehensive IPC report within 24 hours, including photos, defect analysis, and practical recommendations for improvement.

Report & Results

The IPC report provides high-resolution photos, clear defect classifications, a concise summary of findings, and actionable recommendations for improvement. Delivered within 24 hours, it gives you timely, data-driven insights to support effective quality control decisions.
