IPC – Initial Production Check
Limit risks at an early stage
Initial Production Check (IPC) is the visual inspection of products as available at the beginning of production, against the client's instructions and purchase order specifications. IPC is offered in combination with the Final Random Inspection (FRI) and other in-line production checks. As part of these multi-stage inspections, the execution of the purchase order is closely monitored, and the intermediate reports also keep you informed about production progress relative to the delivery terms.
Context
Monitoring the production process requires on-the-spot presence to reduce the risk of substandard quality and to ensure that other contractual obligations are met. The earlier possible shortcomings are detected, the better, so that corrective actions can be initiated in time.
