Pre-Production Inspection

A Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) is a vital step in the procurement process subsequent to the identification and evaluation of your vendor/factory. It facilitates the identification of quality risks before the commencement of manufacturing and is an integral aspect of your risk assessment and quality assurance management. Through the pre-production inspection, you can ensure that your supplier is capable of commencing production on schedule and has a comprehensive understanding of all your product specifications and quality requirements.

TAS Inspections dispatches highly qualified inspectors to your supplier’s production site in China or other Asian regions to carry out a thorough physical inspection of raw materials, components, and the manufacturing facility. Our inspection process includes identifying the availability and condition of materials, reviewing the manufacturer’s production preparation, and verifying in-house quality control procedures. Additionally, our pre-production inspection checklist encompasses preparation for future product inspections by evaluating your approval samples and documenting all tools available for product testing.
