Initial Production Inspection (IPI) is a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the raw materials and components to be put into production. The purpose is to disclose the items found in the inspection that do not meet the product requirements in the form of reports and improve them in time.
Initial production inspections help you understand whether your suppliers have a clear understanding of product requirements and whether they are manufactured in strict accordance with these requirements in order to avoid product production risks in a timely manner.
