Pre-Production Inspection (PPI): Start Production with Confidence

Before any product rolls off the line, it’s essential to ensure that your factory is fully prepared and understands exactly what you need. A Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) helps identify risks early - before they turn into expensive problems.

  • A Pre-Production Inspection takes place at your supplier’s factory after raw materials arrive and before manufacturing begins. It’s your chance to verify:

    • Are materials and components correct and up to spec?

    • Is the factory ready to begin production?

    • Does the supplier fully understand your product requirements?

    Our inspectors visit the site, check all necessary inputs and readiness factors, and send you a full report with photos and actionable feedback - within 48 hours.

  • Every PPI is structured around your quality and performance expectations. Here’s what we evaluate:

    ✔️ Raw Material & Component Check

    Ensure the right materials have been delivered, and they match the agreed specifications and quality.

    ✔️ Production Readiness

    Confirm the factory has the equipment, processes, and staff in place to start production effectively.

    ✔️ Sample Testing & Measurement

    Inspect samples of incoming materials and components for dimensions, performance, and durability.

    ✔️ Style, Color & Labeling

    Verify visual elements, branding, and labeling accuracy before production begins.

    ✔️ Factory Environment & Line Setup

    Get a visual snapshot of the production floor, environment, and key preparation steps.

    ✔️ Quality Control Systems

    Evaluate the supplier’s own internal QC processes and production ability through a simplified line audit.
