Pre Production Inspection

What is a Pre Production Inspection in China?
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 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).

What is the benefit of the Pre Production Inspection?
The Pre Production Inspection in China will help you to setup the preliminary production test to match the golden sample. By this inspection, you will get a clear vision of the production schedule and get ahead of any possible problems that could affect the quality of your goods. Most of the time, the main reason for production issues and poor quality is not the factory’s lack of know-how but rather misunderstandings between you and the manufacturer, which often come from culture and language differences. The Pre Production Inspection in China and Asia will allow you to get past this communication gap and make sure both parties understand each other.
