What is a Pre Production Inspection in China & Asia?

The Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) is completed after the identification and the evaluation of your vendor / factory and right before the beginning of the actual mass production. It can be completed at the factory or at the vendor office. The aim of the Pre Production Inspection in China and Asia is to make sure your vendor understands your requirements and the specifications of your order and is prepared for its production.

What do we check during a Pre Production Inspection?

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