In-Process Quality Check (IPC)
Initial Production Inspection also known as Initial Production Check:
The inspection team from QC can perform a visual inspection of products as available at the beginning of the production cycle accroding to client's instructions and Purchase Order specifications.
The "Initial Production Inspection" when combined with a "Final Random Inspection" and any other on-line production checks, helps in taking corrective actions at an early stage of production cycle. The inspection team will send out intermediary reports to the client and keep them informed about the production progress relative to the delivery terms.
The in-process quality check is designed to provide early warning of quality or other problems arising during production and which may delay shipment.
In other words, it is intended to provide a snapshot of the status of production at a factory.
