Initial Production Check

Identify Early Production Issues – Ensure Raw Materials, Components, and Setup Meet Your Standards

Overview

The Initial Production Check (IPC), also known as Pre-Production Inspection (PPI), is a quality inspection conducted before mass production begins. It ensures that all raw materials and components meet the quality standards specified in the purchase order. IPC focuses on verifying product specifications, raw material quality, and production processes, as well as assessing the factory’s production capacity and equipment conditions to ensure they are capable of producing products that meet quality requirements. This inspection helps identify potential issues early, allowing customers to ensure a smooth production process and minimize quality risks later on.
