Pre-Production Inspection

What is a Pre-Production Inspection in China?

The Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) is carried out after the identification and the evaluation at your vendor / plant and right before the beginning of the actual mass production. It can be implemented at the plant or at the vendor office. The target  of the Pre-Production Inspection in China and elsewhere in Asia is to guarantee  that your supplier knows  your requirements and the specifications  of your order and is ready  for its production.

What do we check during a Pre-Production Inspection?

Raw materials and key components of your order, relationship between the plant and the vendor, understanding of your demands by the plant, samples, costs, production schedule and processes, in-house quality control checks and key persons from the vendor and plant (production manager, people who speak English etc).
