Initial Production Check (IPC)
Product inspection is the verification and assurance process of product quality and quantity throughout the entire product supply chain process (before, during or after the production process).
What is Initial Production Check (IPC)?
Initial Production Check (IPC) is an on-site product inspection which is conducted when 10% of goods have been produced. By checking quality during this initial production process (e.g machine setup, raw materials, packing materials), defects (if any) can be detected early.
Why Initial Production Check (IPC)?
An IPC is an essential element of supply chain management and is applicable to all products. It is an examination of components, materials and product quality that is conducted right at the start of production to foresee risks and prevent wastage of resources.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Q:Why should I book an IPC if I already plan to do a Pre-Shipment Inspection?
A PSI only tells you whether finished goods pass or fail at the end. An IPC stops the factory from using incorrect or unapproved raw materials before manufacturing even begins, eliminating delays that would occur if the entire order had to be rebuilt from scratch.
